Proposta de intervenção para redução de gravidez na adolescência na população do PSF Lagoa, Ribeirão das Neves, Minas Gerais.

Abstract

Sexual and reproductive health of adolescents is a constant concern for parents, educators and health professionals. In the area of coverage of the Lagoa Basic Health Unit in the city of Ribeirão das Neves, Minas Gerais, a high pregnancy rate has been observed in adolescence, which is a health problem, since it is an important risk factor for maternal and child morbidity. An educational intervention project was carried out with the objective of elaborating a proposal for intervention to reduce the incidence of teenage pregnancy in the Basic Health Unit of Lagoa, Ribeirão das Neves, Minas Gerais. A review of the literature was done through a bibliographic search in electronic databases and virtual libraries such as Ecientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO). The method used in the action plan was recommended by the Simplified Situational Strategic Planning (PES) according to Campos, Faria and Santos. The health team will organize training for adolescents on issues of sex education and contraceptive use. It will cover aspects such as pregnancy prevention, difficulties that adolescents face when they are pregnant, sexuality in adolescence, the risks that pregnancies can cause to the mother and her child and the factors that lead to a teenage pregnancy. With the implementation of the intervention project, it is hoped to improve the level of knowledge of adolescents in relation to sexuality; reduce the number of pregnant women and their consequences and be able to act on the factors that lead to their repetition.
