The transition to parenthood is a difficult and stressful time for many couples, and those who become parents in their teens will most likely experience stress and challenges. The objective of this review is to scrutinize evidence related to the experiences of the transition to parenthood in teenage married couples. The scoping review method used was the Arksey & O'Malley framework consisting of 5 stages including identification of the PICO framework, identification of relevant articles, searching for articles from databases such as Science Direct, Pubmed, and Willey, selecting in Prisma Flow Charts, conducting Critical Appraisal on articles, doing data charting, compiling, summarizing, and reporting the results. Based on the search results from the databases, 11 articles were obtained. Of the 11 articles, an assessment was carried out and all articles got a grade of A, 4 articles with the quantitative method and 7 articles with the qualitative method. Furthermore, 3 themes were identified, namely social support, psychological impact, and barriers. The conclusion of the study found a gap in the results of review articles in developed countries and developing countries. In developed countries, the results of review articles tend to focus on psychological problems in the transition to parenthood. The adolescent parents feel pressured and are not ready to become new parents, causing stress and depression when becoming new parents. In contrast to developing countries, psychological problems in the transition to parenthood tend to focus on social support and barriers to becoming new parents.
