“…Adolescents who lived with a partner were in the majority, a result consistent with other studies (12,18,19) . Research conducted with pregnant adolescents in the city of Teresina showed that, among young women who lived with a partner, 30.7% remained financially (12,13) . Thus, the early marriages may place the young people in a more difficult socio-economic situation, especially when the partner is also an adolescent and/or unemployed, making them more vulnerable to other conditions of social risk.…”

“…We observed a significant number adolescents who did not attend school, confirming that the pregnancy and the birth of a child are important causes of isolation and difficulty in studies among adolescents (12) . The high proportion of adolescents with education ranging from illiteracy to not completing elementary school, demonstrates the reduced level of instruction prevalent across the young women surveyed.…”

“…Another determining factor for this result was the low professional qualifications of the participants due to early interruption of studies. So, with little education and without a profession, they are limited to the possibilities of entering the competitive labor market, with a chance to perpetuate themselves and their financial dependency, thus establishing a continuous cycle of poverty, poor professional qualifications, and submissiveness to the people on whom she depends (12,16,17) . Adolescents who lived with a partner were in the majority, a result consistent with other studies (12,18,19) .…”

Objective: To analyze the perceptions of adolescent mothers with respect to family and conjugal relationships developed post-pregnancy. Methods: A cross sectional study of 202 adolescents, three months after admission into one of four maternity hospitals in Teresina-PI (Brazil) that were included in the study. Results: The majority of adolescents interviewed perceived positive changes in family (60.4%) and conjugal (50.5%) relationships post-pregnancy. We observed a statistical association between the father's desire for the newborn and the willingness to care for it (p <0.01), and between changes in conjugal relations and the parental support for the child care (p <0.01). Conclusions: Although the study has shown predominantly positive relationships between youth and their families and with a partner after pregnancy, it is expected that these results should guide health professionals so that they can stimulate an increase in bonding between the adolescent mother and people from their neighborhood during and after pregnancy. Keywords: Adolescent; Mothers; Family relations; Family conflict RESUMO Objetivo: Analisar as percepções de mães adolescentes a respeito das relações familiares e conjugais desenvolvidas, após o término da gestação. Métodos: Estudo transversal com 202 adolescentes, 3 meses após internação em uma das quatro maternidades de Teresina-PI, incluídas no estudo. Resultados: A maioria das adolescentes entrevistadas percebeu mudanças positivas nas relações familiares (60,4%) e conjugais (50,5%), após o término da gestação. Observou-se associação estatística entre o desejo do pai pelo recém-nascido e a predisposição para cuidá-lo (p<0,01) e entre as modificações nas relações conjugais e o apoio paterno durante os cuidados do filho (p<0,01). Conclusões: Embora o estudo tenha mostrado relacionamentos predominantemente favoráveis entre as jovens e sua família e com o cônjuge após a gestação, espera-se que tais resultados norteiem os profissionais de saúde para que possam estimular o aumento do vínculo entre a mãe adolescente e as pessoas de seu convívio durante e após a gestação.

“…A gravidez consiste em fenômeno peculiar ao desenvolvimento humano normal, entretanto, este mesmo fenômeno pode levar a sérias complicações quando ocorre na juventude 1,2 . A gestação nesta etapa evolutiva da vida interfere nas representações sociais das jovens, por meio da súbita passagem do papel de filha e ser dependente para o papel de mãe e provedora.…”

IntroductionAdolescent pregnancy causes serious problems not only for girls, but also for their family, and society. This study aimed to understand factors related to adolescent pregnancy in low- and middle-income countries using a multilevel approach adopted by Bronfenbrenner's ecological model.MethodsA total of 11,933 studies published in between 2000 and 2015 were identified in 4 databases. Based on inclusion criteria and risk of bias assessment, a total of 67 articles were retrieved for analysis.ResultsThematic analysis revealed that early marriage, sexual risk behaviors, substance use, family experience of adolescent birth, peer pressure, and lack of sex education and health service increased the hazards of adolescent pregnancy. Communication with parents, school activities, community meetings, laws, and government policies protected adolescents from pregnancy.ConclusionsResults of this study suggests that the background of adolescents and complex interactions among various factors should be considered for pregnancy. In future research, mixed-method that supplements the methodological weaknesses of previous studies is also recommended.
