A importância das práticas educativas para a prevenção da gravidez na adolescencia: uma reflexão a luz da literatura

Abstract

The discussion of teenage pregnancy has been gaining strength because of personal, family and social consequences arising from this situation. In this context it becomes extremely important effective educational activities aimed at educating the user to subsidize it in their decisions and understanding the difficulties, uncertainties and insecurities that stage. Through this reality we perceive the need for change in posture and update all stakeholders in education and training of adolescents, especially regarding the issue of sex education. In order to identify the use of educational practices by health professionals in the prevention of teenage pregnancy a literature review on the basis of Integrative BVS data was performed. We opted for publications in the period 2002-2012, which provided evidence of the educational practices employed with a view to the formation of an individual with reflective critical thinking. In some findings became clear that within the traditional model, the educational practices are not panning the desired effect because the rate of teenage pregnancy is increasing.
