Abstract :Transition is a role change from a known state to another unknown state. Personal, social and community perceptions can facilitate or prevent the transition and transition. Nurses are at the center of these changes and transition. Transition Theory guides nurses to understand transition to parenting, a developmental type of transition. The transition to motherhood can reflect both the strongest and most vulnerable situation of a woman. By using Transition Theory, nurses understand the level of awareness of the individual, the responsibilities that she / she needs to take, the change to be experienced, the beginning and expected end time of the transition, the critical turning points, the important points, the impact of change on daily life, the stages of the individual and the reactions of the different stages of this process. In this study, the nursing approaches of the 18-year-old mother, RC, are discussed according to the Transition Theory. The transition from adolescence to adulthood, from celibacy to marriage and parenting was facilitated by appropriate nursing interventions and follow-up to a woman experiencing transition, and preventive factors were controlled by mobilizing support systems.
