ABSTRACT

STUDY OBJECTIVE: Assess the quality of life (QOL) of female adolescents with children compared to those without children. DESIGN: Cross-sectional. SETTING: Public university-affiliated family planning clinic, São Paulo, Brazil. PARTICIPANTS: 91 female adolescents (16-19 years) of low socio-economic status with and without children. INTERVENTIONS: The Portuguese version of the WHOQOL-BREF questionnaire was used. OUTCOME MEASURES: Mean scores of the 4 main domains were compared between adolescents with and without children. RESULTS: Both mothers (N = 40) and nonmothers (N = 51) had low mean scores (<75%) in most of the QOL domains. Compared to adolescents without children, adolescent mothers scored significantly lower in the physical (52.1 vs 59.4, P = .0137) and social (66.9 vs 77.3, P = .0182) domains. CONCLUSION: Adolescent mothers have a significantly lower quality of life in the physical and in the social relationships domains than nonmothers.
