Abstract

This study approaches the high incidence of adolescent pregnancy existing in the ESF Abolição/Araxá/MG. The main goal was to analyze the scientific production in the period between 2004 and 2009, all related to teen pregnancy. With such theoretical framework, we were able to come up with strategies to face this kind of problem with our team. The students portfolio, which was developed during the CEABSF course was used to select the subject, and also the national data bank (BIREME, SCIELO) to select the related texts. This study points out the repercussion of teen maternity in the family cell, like school dropping out, early laboring and family loss of structure. It shows that prenatal appointments begin in a late stage, most of time by fear of bringing out this problem to the family and also for lack of knowledge of their own body. This condition can also contribute to a higher incidence of perinatal morbi-mortality and motherly mortality. The study deals with the worry of ESF Abolição team about this condition and wants to intensify the health strategies related to solving this problem. The work outcome confirms the necessity of local reality good comprehension and the importantance to make plans to work in an effective way with the teens in the surrounded area of ESF Abolição.
