Background/Aims Treatment and interventions for adolescent mothers during birth are often informed by research conducted with adult women. This approach does not consider the fact that adolescents are still in a developmental phase with age-specific needs and the consequent effect on their birth experiences. This review's aim was to explore the available literature in relation to the need for age-specific care for adolescents during birth. Methods An aggregated qualitative review was conducted using narrative synthesis with comprehensive searches of EBSCOhost, Scopus, JSTOR, Pubmed, Science Direct and Cochrane. Thematic analysis and a narrative synthesis were used to present the results based on the research objectives. Results A total of seven studies were included, published between 2002 and 2022. Eight elements of age-specific care for adolescent mothers were identified: be sensitive to her needs, manage her pain, treat her with respect, provide information, include her in decision making, guide her, have empathy for her needs and offer non-judgmental care. Conclusions There is a dearth of research on the experiences and needs of adolescent mothers during birth. Birth impacts developmental tasks for adolescents and age-specific care is vital for more positive birth experiences. Implications for practice More training and research are required to develop and implement a framework for age-specific care during pregnancy and birth.
