“…Se podría explicar la diferencia dado que entre las primeras había una mayor cantidad de jóvenes de estratos socioeconómicos más bajos. A menor estrato socioeconómico e inferior nivel educativo es mayor la frecuencia del NRB (4,6) . No se identificaron estudios que abordaran el nivel de resiliencia en gestantes adolescentes de acuerdo con consideraciones étnicas o raciales.…”

“…En general, el embarazo en menores de 19 años suele ser considerado de alto riesgo (1,2,4,5) , no obstante, no solo los aspectos médicos se deben evaluar. Se ha indicado que las gestantes adolescentes, comparadas con las adultas, pueden experimentar mayores problemas psicosociales, especialmente la interrupción de la educación, el desempleo, aislamiento, violencia de pareja, deterioro del bienestar y un pobre desarrollo social (1,2,(5)(6)(7) . El embarazo en la adolescencia debe ser visto como una experiencia adversa que trunca el accionar futuro, pues contribuye a que las jóvenes renuncien a la construcción de sus planes de desarrollo y proyectos de vida que generan una superación personal (3,4,6,8,9) .…”

Introducción: las adolescentes presentan cambios biológicos y reciben influencias sociales que las predisponen a quedar embarazadas a temprana edad. Objetivo: evaluar la resiliencia en un grupo de gestante adolescentes para estimar la frecuencia del NRB (nivel de resiliencia bajo) e identificar factores psicosociales asociados. Metodología: estudio transversal en gestantes adolescentes que acudieron a consulta prenatal en Cartagena, Colombia. Se aplicó un cuestionario de características sociodemográficas y escalas sobre resiliencia, familismo, religiosidad, espiritualidad, funcionalidad familiar, violencia de pareja, felicidad y autoestima. Se compararon dos grupos: NRB y NRAM (nivel de resiliencia alto/moderado). Se realizó una regresión logística multivariada para identificar los factores asociados al NRB. Resultados: se estudiaron 499 gestantes adolescentes con una edad promedio de 17 años. La mitad de ellas pertenecían a familias disfuncionales. Sesenta y cuatro (12,8 %) tuvieron un NRB con factores asociados como bajo familismo OR: 4,736 (IC 95 %: 2,673-8,392), baja autoestima OR: 4,257 (IC 95 %: 1,363-13,295), disfunción familiar OR: 3,902 (IC 95 %: 2,052-7,422), violencia de pareja OR: 2,689 (IC 95 %: 1,082-6,678), deficiente espiritualidad OR: 2,503 (IC 95 %: 1,461-4,287) y reducida felicidad OR: 2,063 (IC 95 %: 1,214-3,506). Conclusión: en una ciudad del Caribe colombiano, en trece de cada cien gestantes adolescentes que acudena consulta prenatal, se encontró NRB; disfunción familiar, violencia de pareja en el embarazo, deficiente perspectiva espiritual, reducida felicidad subjetiva, familismo y nivel de autoestima bajos se observaron asociados.

“…106 One local study revealed that 84.0% of unmarried women who were placed in the shelter homes experienced moderate to high level of psychological well-being due to social support provided by the shelter homes. 107 Nonetheless, most of the teenagers were initially reluctant to stay in the shelter homes having to endure the problems alone without their parents or partners. In the shelter homes, the teenagers felt separation anxiety and lack of family support due to the social limitation regulations where they are unable to see their parents or family regularly and have to be independent to do their own household work.…”

This article examines the adequacy of the current support systems in addressing the issue of teenage pregnancies in Malaysia. This study was conducted primarily through a doctrinal study of existing literature such as articles, journals and reports related to the current issues encountered by the pregnant teenagers. There is also a non-doctrinal method carried out whereby the researchers had conducted fieldwork interviews with the government department, non-government organisations (NGOs) and social activist on the efforts done in addressing the problem. Due to the lack of a specific policy on teenage pregnancies in Malaysia, there have been concerns on issues related to the rights of these teenagers to education during pregnancy; criminal issues on abortion, infanticide and child sexual grooming; child marriages and the lack of support from parents, family members and the society for care, motivation, healthcare and preparation for motherhood among these teenagers. The findings establish the current support system is inadequate to meet the contemporary needs of pregnant teenagers. It is suggested that a comprehensive legal framework for teenage pregnancies in Malaysia needs to be put in place. These can include legislating necessary laws and policies, which can be more effective through integrated services and proper monitoring and enforcement in order to meet the current needs of the targeted group.

“…The phenomenon of unwed mothers in a country like Malaysia is a challenge that comes with the impending outcome of globalization and modernization which recognizes no race, ethnicity and religion (Nordin, Wahab, and Yunus, 2012). Perhaps, this is not merely a shallow excuse to put forth blame on urbanization and globalization, rather, to demonstrate the lack of public awareness and people skills together with the continuing decay in the morality of each ethnicity specifically in a developing country like Malaysia.…”

Baby dumping has become a serious phenomenon in Malaysia. The fact that newborn babies are dumped at the most inappropriate places such as toilets and junkyards is such a heinous crime. Despite various steps taken by the government and the society at large, the statistics of baby dumping is escalating. This should not happen in a country which upholds an image of a Muslim nation. This research will not only discuss the literature review with regards to the issue of baby dumping in Malaysia, but shall also provide an overview of an alternative solution to curb this problem which is known as the baby hatch. Opinions from the NGO (such as OrphanCARE Foundation) and the judiciary are referred to in order to find the best possible method to overcome baby dumping issue in Malaysia. This is an alternative to the legal procedure which falls under the Penal Code and other related Acts. Comparisons are needed to seek the best possible way for a solution of baby dumping and to understand the perceptions of the particularly well-informed segment of society on this alternative solution to baby dumping-baby hatch.
