“…(Int 4) Such concerns may contribute to the lack of use of contraception and the data concur with the findings from the study by Burns (1999), who investigated the factors which influence teenagers participating in unprotected sexual intercourse. My mother will help me tidy my drawers, she will find out if I take pills.…”

“…Pregnant participants completed a different set of questions in the survey than those who were not pregnant, and were therefore separated for the purpose of analysis. The independent associations between the survey variables and pregnancy desire were initially analyzed utilizing the χ 2 test (Table 2). A Spearman's correlation coefficient was then calculated comparing the reported feelings about pregnancy from the adolescent and her perceptions about her male partner's feelings.…”

“…Adolescent reproductive decision‐making occurs during a period of rapid physical development and the discovery of sexual identity and sexual experimentation 1 . Romantic relationships may develop at this stage but they are usually short lived and center on the adolescent's own needs 2 . At the same time, this period is characterized by a psychological state that includes a feeling of invulnerability and a belief in the supremacy of one's own individual power and knowledge 3 .…”

Our objective was to examine the relationship between pregnancy desire among female adolescents and their perception of desire for pregnancy in their male partners. This is an observational cross-sectional study which examined 92 surveys administered to adolescent women between the ages of 14 to 19 years at two obstetrical care services serving a population from limited socioeconomic backgrounds. Participants were all pregnant or awaiting pregnancy test results. Participants were asked about their levels of pregnancy happiness and desire and their partners' levels of pregnancy happiness and desire. Spearman's correlation coefficient was calculated and discordant pairs were examined with McNemar's test. Logistic regression was utilized to examine the relationship between male and female pregnancy happiness and desire. We found that there was a significant correlation between the adolescents' feelings about pregnancy and their perceptions of their male partners' feelings about pregnancy (0.326; P = .004). McNemar's test indicated that male partners were significantly more likely to be reported to feel positively about the pregnancy than female partners (P = .017). Female adolescents who reported male partners who felt positively about the pregnancy were four times as likely to report having desired their pregnancy now or sooner (odds ratio [OR] = 4.35). We conclude that male partners may impact adolescent pregnancy desire. Further prospective studies are needed and male-focused adolescent pregnancy interventions should be developed.

“…This ensured data collected was relevant to the subject of the review without unnecessarily excluding whole studies. For example, the study ''Factors influencing teenage mothers participation in unprotected sex'' by Burns (1999) generated six themes, yet only the ones related to pregnancy desire were extracted for the synthesis.…”

Previous research on teenage pregnancy suggests that there are distinct profiles of pregnancy intent among adolescents, reflecting differences in young people's understanding and endorsement of the concept of pregnancy intendedness. Little is known about adolescents' subjective perceptions of pregnancy intent. This systematic literature review comprehensively examines qualitative studies of intended teenage pregnancy. Several online databases were searched for publications on attitudes towards adolescents' pregnancy intentions. Following a systematic selection process, findings from included studies were analyzed and integrated using thematic synthesis. Six dominant themes emerged: pregnancy desire, negative and positive perceptions of pregnancy, ambivalence and fatalism, other people's views, and common characteristics of adolescent mothers. The themes are discussed in the context of current knowledge on adolescent reproductive health.
