Maternidade e o projeto de vida das jovens que engravidaram

Abstract

Introduction: This study focuses on the life project of young mothers, based on Lukács' ontology of the social being. The concept of youth is traditionally defined as the transition between adolescence and adulthood, however the meaning permeates this biological dimension relating it to the historical, social, economic and cultural context. In this sense, it is important that the young person has the ability to develop possible strategies for building a coherent and well-founded life project. Objective: To understand the impact of motherhood in adolescence for the life project of young women Method: This is a cross-sectional observational study with a qualitative approach that comprises a longitudinal research carried out with 09 young people. The interviews were recorded, transcribed and inserted into the Nvivo 12 software for thematic content analysis. Results: Most of the young women are from the homogeneous social group III, considered unstable in living and working conditions. During the analysis, four empirical categories emerged: support network, sexual and reproductive health, life project and sexual violence Conclusion: The impact of motherhood in adolescence could be perceived in the school delay of young women, in the difficulty in formulating their life projects, reinforced by the social vulnerability they are subject to. It is hoped, with this study, to contribute to a greater support of these young people through public policies
