ABSTRACT

A gravidez na adolescência está associada a diversos problemas físicos, sociais e emocionais que revelam um importante problema de Saúde Coletiva. Nos últimos anos, vários estudos têm reportado que a gravidez na adolescência pode trazer consequências negativas tanto para a mãe quanto para o bebê. O presente trabalho teve por objetivo avaliar o perfil de gestantes adolescentes atendidas no Programa da Saúde da Família (PSF) 302 da cidade de Aragarças, GO. Foram avaliadas 54 gestantes na faixa etária de 15 a 40 anos. O método utilizado foi o de entrevista com questionário contendo perguntas relacionadas à vida pessoal da mãe, à gravidez, além dos fatores associados à ocorrência da gestação. Observou-se que 18% das gestantes eram adolescentes, destas 40% foram reincidentes e 30% solteiras. Entre as adolescentes, 88% não exerciam atividades remuneradas e estavam com as atividades escolares comprometidas. Quando se avaliou o índice de gravidez não planejada, 75% relataram não ter planejado a gravidez. Esses dados reforçam a falta de educação sexual e planejamento familiar entre as jovens residentes na cidade de Aragarças (Goiás), indicando, assim, a necessidade de programas de prevenção de gravidez na adolescência.


Adolescent pregnancy is associated with various physical, social, and emotional problems and is currently considered an important public health problem. In recent years, a number of studies have been reporting that adolescent pregnancy can carry negative consequences for both the mother and the baby. The aim of this study was to evaluate the profile of pregnant adolescents treated at the Family Health Program (PSF) 302 in the city of Aragarças, GO. The assessment included 54 women with ages from 15 to 40 years. The method used was an interview including a questionnaire about the mother?s personal life, the pregnancy process, and its associated factors. It was observed that 18% of the pregnant women were adolescents, 40% of these were pregnancy re-incident, and 30% were single. Among the adolescents, 88% did not have paid employment and their school activities had been compromised. In evaluating the unplanned pregnancy rate, 75% of these adolescent or adult women reported not having planned the pregnancy. These findings suggest a lack of sex education and family planning among the younger residents of the city of Aragarças (Goiás), thus indicating the urgent need for adolescent pregnancy prevention programs.
