Abstract
An experimental study was conducted to test the effect of a nurse-client transactional intervention (King, 1981) on 51 female adolescents' oral contraceptive adherence. Subjects were randomly assigned to a control or an experimental group. Both groups experienced the clinics' contraceptive teaching. Subjects in the experimental group experienced the transactional intervention. Contraceptive perceptions were measured immediately post-intervention and at the three-month follow-up. Oral contraceptive adherence was measured at the three-month follow-up. Female adolescents who experienced the transactional intervention had greater levels of oral contraceptive adherence than those who had not (F = 4.15, p < .05).Keywords: Adolescents; Adolescents, Female; Age Factors; Americas; Behavior; Case Control Studies; Client-staff Relations; Contraception; Contraceptive Methods; Decision Making; Delivery Of Health Care; Demographic Factors; Developed Countries; Family Planning; Follow-up Studies; Health; Health Personnel; Interpersonal Relations; North America; Northern America; Nurses; Oral Contraceptives; Population; Population Characteristics; Research Report; Studies; United States; User Compliance; Youth
