“…The average score for the knowledge level scale was 8.17 ± 2.907. The items on sexuality and the male condom had the highest success rate (1, 2, 3, 7), while the main gaps in knowledge were found in the items on the contraceptive patch (10,11,12) and the vaginal ring (13,14,15). The mean score for the attitude scale was 43.45 ± 5.099.…”

“…Although WHO promotes educational programs as a preventive measure for individuals regardless of whether they are sexually inactive or active [ 2 ], educational interventions on Sex&CM in young populations are scarce, and the studies carried out show a predominantly low level of knowledge [ 6 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 ]. The increase in the level of knowledge about Sex&CM in adolescents has been widely used as the only variable to confirm the effectiveness of educational programs for the prevention of unwanted pregnancies [ 13 ] and other programs aimed at avoiding other consequences—such as STIs—of risk behaviors in young people [ 6 ].…”

Purpose: Adolescence is considered a period in which individuals are particularly at risk of negative consequences related to sexual health. Increased knowledge levels have traditionally been used as an indicator of the effectiveness of educational programs, but attitudes are not addressed and are a key element for the success of such programs. The aim of this study is to determine the level of knowledge and attitudes toward the use of contraceptive methods among nursing students. A multicenter cross-sectional study was carried out. In total, 2914 university students (aged 18–25 years) enrolled in the study. Participants completed two validated scales to measure knowledge level and attitudes toward contraceptive use. Nursing degree students who received training about contraceptives obtained a success rate of over 70%, compared to 15.3% among students who had not received such training (p < 0.001). The mean attitude score was 43.45 points (10–50), but there were no significant differences in terms of student training (p = 0.435), although they were significantly higher among students who used contraceptives at first or last sexual intercourse (p < 0.001). There was a significant weak correlation between the level of knowledge and attitudes toward the use of contraceptives. An adequate level of knowledge about sexuality and contraceptive methods does not correspond to positive attitudes toward their use, although having an excellent attitude toward contraceptive use is related to their use during youth and adolescence.

“…it is possible to demonstrate that adolescent pregnancies perpetuate intergenerational poverty [8,9]; This is due to the fact that there is an increase in school dropouts among women who have pregnancies during adolescence [7]. Finally, multiple studies evaluated the effects of the interventions carried out in the adolescent population, in the reduction of the birth rate in women between 15 and 19 years of age, through which it was identified that those interventions with the greatest impact were those designed to improve the socioeconomic level of adolescents and those who encourage permanence in educational institutions and encourage a higher level of schooling [15][16][17][18][19]. Despite the fact that the impact of individual educational interventions was evaluated, the results were not conclusive, nor did they show an impact on the birth rate in adolescents.…”

Teenage Pregnancy, what is its Impact on Latin America?

Adolescent pregnancy in the world has an incidence rate of 41 per thousand women between 15 and 19 years of age; however, in the Latin American and Caribbean region these figures are higher, reaching at least 67 per thousand women and unlike the global trend, it is expected that in the region this value will continue to rise. Through various studies it has been identified that the risk factors associated with the occurrence of this event are mainly low schooling and low socioeconomic level, early initiation of sexual relations, among others. Additionally, it has been established that adolescent pregnancy brings with it risks to the health of both the woman and the newborn, but even more worrisome it leads to the perpetuation of poverty, to a decrease in schooling in the long term and therefore to a lower income expectation among women who have children before the age of 20. Individual interventions have not been able to demonstrate significant changes in the decrease in adolescent birth rates, since as it is a multifactorial problem, it must be addressed with multidisciplinary interventions. Through this review, it is intended to expand all the aspects and nuances associated with this problem and to clarify which are the most effective mechanisms to generate an impact on the reduction of adolescent births. Since it is a multifactorial problem, it must be addressed with multidisciplinary interventions.

“…En Colombia, 1 de cada 5 mujeres de 15-19 años ha estado embarazada y el 64% de estos embarazos no fueron planeados. Al iniciarse desde tan temprano la vida sexual nos encontramos con factores que seguramente marcaran de manera negativa, como lo son: poco conocimiento del plan educativo instaurado, poco uso de anticonceptivos, poco conocimiento del inicio de las relaciones sexuales asociado con los diferentes factores de riesgos que en Colombia suelen ser: bajo nivel educativo, violencia intrafamiliar, bajo nivel socioeconómico, pobre comunicación con figuras parentales, nivel de urbanización deficiente y factores culturales regionales fuertes que no dan espacio a la autorrealización (2).…”

Introducción: La adolescencia marca la separación entre la infancia y la vida adulta, con el inicio de la vida sexual reproductiva conlleva a que 1 de cada 5 adolescentes quede embarazada. El 64% de estos embarazos no sean planeados, generando altos costos en las instituciones de salud. Objetivo: Determinar mediante análisis de proporciones los costos de la atención en embarazadas adolescentes en un hospital del Departamento del Atlántico en los periodos 2013 y 2017. Materiales y métodos: Estudio descriptivo transversal, mediante análisis de proporciones se estimaron costos de parto vaginal cesárea y atención en uci en periodos 2013 y 2017. Resultados: se encontró que los costos de pacientes atendidas en los años 2013 y 2017, la proporción 2013 es menor (chi – cuadrado: 2,287; P > 0,05). Los costos de pacientes atendidas por parto vaginal en los años 2013 y 2017, la proporción del 2013 es menor (chi – cuadrado: 17,340; P < 0,05). Los costos de pacientes atendidas por Cesárea en los años 2013 y 2017, la proporción del 2013 es menor (chi – cuadrado: 5,771; P < 0,05). Los costos de pacientes atendidas por Cesárea y las pacientes remitidas a UCI para el año 2013, la proporción de pacientes remitidas a UCI es menor. (chi – cuadrado: 5,771; P = 0,00 para Cesárea en 2013 y un valor de chi – cuadrado: 2,276; P = 0,03 para remisión a UCI en 2013). Conclusiones: el embarazo adolescente es un problema de salud pública con tendencia al aumento que acarrea complicaciones obstétricas que pueden presentarse en el transcurso de este periodo más el índice elevado de cesáreas que por ende aumenta los costos en la prestación de los servicios de salud.

Efectividad de las intervenciones educativas para la prevención del embarazo en la adolescencia

Abstract: There is no a single intervention modality that is the most effective for prevention of a teenage pregnancy. More research is needed with a longitudinal approach that assess not only intermediate results, but also a modification in the pregnancy rate.
