Um novo olhar para a gravidez na adolescência: propostas de planos de ação

Abstract

Adolescence involves a physical and emotional transformation period that can be considered a time of crisis or conflict. Pregnancy is a transition that integrates human development, but reveals the complications to occur in adolescence. The health team Durval de Barros family F (Slope) conducted the situational diagnosis in 2012 (revised in 2013) and among the several identified problems we chose to talk about teen pregnancy. For the theoretical foundation of this work was carried out search for articles on virtual health library SciELO and Google Scholar, from 2000 to 2013 In addition, the search in several publications (books, journals, magazines, manuals, guide lines was made ) that were related to the theme. The theme of teenage pregnancy is considered a public problem and impacts the life of a teenager, her family and his son's life health. The teenage pregnancy is considered a risk for both teenagers and for newborns, resulting from the possible complications that can occur during its course. Families and health professionals often have difficulty working in this context. This work raises questions about teen pregnancy through a literature review and proposes an action plan to improve care for pregnant adolescents. It was concluded that teenage pregnancy tends to increase especially in families in unfavorable socioeconomic situation often culminating in a vicious cycle where thesocioeconomic situation tends to worsen. It is essential that the health professional family be prepared to cope with this situation by intervening in this cycle and improving the quality of life of these people
