“…Unplanned pregnancy negatively affects both maternal physical and psychological health, even increasing the demand for abortions in clandestine clinics and the consequently increasing the mortality rate of mothers due to unsafe abortions, especially in developing countries [25,26]. In addition, teenage pregnancy is usually associated with lack of information and access to programs and services dedicated to teenager sexual and reproductive health, which further amplifies socioeconomic vulnerabilities and even loss of social identity [27][28][29][30]. Thus, public health and education policies aimed at both adolescent mothers and their children are essential not only to provide support and to mitigate negative consequences after the occurrence of an unplanned pregnancy, but also to act in reducing the socioeconomic vulnerabilities and social isolation in which adolescents may live [31].…”

Background As reported by the World Health Organization, adolescent pregnancy is a major public health concern given its impact on the life of mothers and their family members. In this study we investigated possible cause-effect relations between teenage pregnancy and school dropout, and other attributes that gravitate around them, using the Bayesian network approach. Methods We used a database prepared by the Adolescent House Project and invited experts in the areas of Health, Education and Social Assistance to answer a survey containing questions aimed at detecting possible causal relationships. To perform the statistical analysis and the numerical simulations we employed the language and formalism of Bayesian networks. Results The analysis indicated a strong cause-effect relation between teenage pregnancy and school dropout, bolstered by economic vulnerability. We were able to identify the profile of the female teenager who drops out from school: white girls older than 15 years who got pregnant at least once, are not working to generate an income, and who belong to the group where the family income is less than or equal to US$780 per month. Also we detected the “maternal impact factor", i.e., the effect caused by whether or not the mothers of the teenagers have experienced teenage pregnancy. Conclusion There are many factors that lead teenagers to drop out of school; we confirmed not only the commonsense notion that pregnancy of the teenager is a major factor but found that a history of teenage pregnancy on the part of the mother is a major factor. Moreover, Bayesian networks emerged as an interesting mathematical framework to perform the statistical analysis.

“…28 In 2017 Lara et al 29 reported that studies in Mexico on pregnancy and depression in pregnant women were limited. Currently, few have been added, 30,31 however, it has been reported that pregnant adolescents have emotional health difficulties that can lead to suicidal behavior during pregnancy, [32][33][34] and it has been suggested that social support during pregnancy is essential to reduce the risks of depressive symptoms. 4 Social support is the availability of support obtained from family, colleagues or friends.…”

Background Suicidal behavior in adolescents is a public health problem. Although it has been reported that there is a link between suicidal behavior and Quality of life (QoL), this relationship has not been explored in pregnant adolescents, nor have depressive symptoms been examined as mediators and social support as a moderator in a moderated mediation model. Methods In 2021, 143 pregnant adolescents between 13 and 19 years old from different states in Mexico were evaluated. The KIDSCREEN-52 instrument was applied to evaluate the Health-Related Quality of Life, the scale of expectation of living and dying of Okasha, the Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale, the family and partner support scale (AFA-R) and sociodemographic information. Moderated mediation analyses were completed. Results A relationship between QoL and suicidal behavior was found, and that relationship was mediated by depressive symptoms on all eighteen models. In addition, social support from the family moderated the mediation of depressive symptoms in 4 of 9 QoL dimensions, and social support from the partner moderated the mediating effect of depressive symptoms in 8 of 9 QoL dimensions. Conclusion The relationship between QoL and suicidal behavior was consistent with previous studies. The moderating role of social support and the mediation of depressive symptoms on the relationship between QoL and suicidal behavior were also consistent with the literature. Professionals who work with pregnant adolescents should consider both depressive symptoms and social support as important factors that influence QoL and suicidal behaviors.

Purpose of Study: The purpose of this study was to explore the effectiveness of social skills training on enhancing self-concept of teenage mothers in Kibera. Because teenage pregnancy is considered as a global issue. A large proportion of teenage mothers give up on themselves and struggle with negative emotions resulting from societal stigma, rejection and isolation from friends and families, which can lead to poor self-concept. Methodology: The study was anchored on person centered theory of Carl Rogers and Bandura`s social cognitive theory. Mixed method sequential explanatory design was adopted for the study. The target population was 150 teenage mothers. Quantitative data was collected from participants using self-concept and social skills questionnaires. An interview guide was used to collect data from one social worker and one school administration for the qualitative study. The data were analyzed utilizing narratives and correlations. We used SPSS version 21 to examine the first round of quantitative data. After analyzing the quantitative data, individuals with mean scores between 1.0 and 2.5 were chosen for the qualitative investigation. Main Finding: The study found out that social skills training has improved self-concept of teenage mothers in Kibera. The qualitative study revealed that teenage mothers go through psychological and emotional challenges in the hands of their parents. The study generally concludes that self-concept of teenage mothers is being affected by lack of psychological support, forgiveness and acceptance from the family. Intervention suggested included being emotionally present, psychological support, and love by parents to teenage mothers. Research Implication: The study's findings suggested that rules on guidance and counseling services for parents and teenage mothers be strengthened in order to improve assertiveness. It is critical for social workers to focus on policy development in low-income households, particularly in the area of education, in order to prevent adolescent pregnancy. Novelty/Originality of this study: Based on the findings, this study proposes a novel approach to dealing with teen pregnancy and offering psychological support. In addition, the parents provide social support and love.
