Abstract

RESUMENObjetivo: Identificar factores de apoyo y estrés psicosocial en adolescentes embarazadas y establecer la asociación entre estos factores y la presencia o ausencia de síndrome hipertensivo del embarazo (SHE) y/o síntoma de parto prematuro (SPP). Método: Estudio analítico de casos y controles. La muestra estuvo conformada por 146 puérperas adolescentes estratificadas en dos grupos, con y sin SHE y/o SPP durante su gestación. Para describir las variables se realizó un análisis exploratorio de datos utilizando medianas. Para comparar estos valores medios se aplicó la prueba de Mann-Whitney y para el análisis inferencial la prueba (OR: 4,65 [1,69]). El apoyo familiar se asocia con ausencia de SHE y/o SPP (p<0,001). Conclusiones: Los estresores psicosociales familiares se asocian a la presencia de SHE y/o SPP, mientras que el apoyo familiar es un factor protector de estas patologías.PALABRAS CLAVE: Embarazo adolescente, síndrome hipertensivo del embarazo, síntomas de parto prematuro, estrés psicosocial SUMMARYObjective: To identify support and stress psychosocial factors in pregnant adolescents and to establish association between those factors and the presence or absence of hypertensive syndrome of pregnancy (HSP) and/or symptoms of preterm birth (SPB).
