RESUMEN
Antecedentes El embarazo repetido durante la adolescencia aumenta el riesgo para las madres de no completar sus estudios, tener más baja tasa de participación laboral y menores ingresos.

Objetivo:

Describir la magnitud del embarazo repetido en adolescentes y analizar los principales factores que se asocian a la reincidencia del embarazo adolescente en la Región Metropolitana.

Método:

Estudio descriptivo, analítico y transversal. La población del estudio fueron adolescentes embarazadas que se controlaron en el período Enero a Diciembre de 2007 en 8 consultorios de la Región Metropolitana. Los datos obtenidos desde las fichas clínicas. Variables estudiadas edad, nivel educacional, relación de pareja, período intergenésico (PIG), paridad, edad gestacional al ingreso a control, uso de método anticonceptivo (MAC) y número de embarazos previos.

Resultados:

Del total de embarazadas del período en estudio, 852 (30%) eran embarazadas adolescentes. De éstas el 15,6% (133) correspondió a adolescentes reincidentes. El 5,2% de las reincidentes tenían 15 años y menos. El 67,7% sólo cursó escolaridad básica. El 64,7% estaban casadas o convivían. El 36,6% presentó PIG de 11 meses y menos. El 6,8% había tenido 2 o más gestaciones previas. El 59,4% inició control prenatal después de las 12 semanas de gestación. El 73,5% no usó MAC. Al relacionar PIG con escolaridad se observó que el 59,4% de las adolescentes que tenían PIG de 11 meses y menos se concentraron en el nivel de menor escolaridad.

Conclusiones:

Las adolescentes estudiadas mostraron factores de alto riesgo los cuales deberían haber sido detectados previamente para fortalecer una estrategia de apoyo.
ABSTRACT

Background:

Repeat pregnancy during adolescence increases the risk for mothers not to complete their studies, have lower labor participation rate and less income.

Objective:

To describe the magnitude of recurrent pregnancy among adolescent females and analyze the main factors associated with recidivism of adolescent pregnancy in the Metropolitan Region.

Method:

A descriptive, analytical, cross-sectional study. The study population consisted of pregnant adolescents who were attended during January to December 2007 in eight primary care clinics in the northern sector of the metropolitan area. Data were collected from the medical records. The following variables, age, schooling level, relationship, interpregnancy period (IPP), parity, gestational age at admission control, contraceptive use and number of previous pregnancies, were studied.

Results:

Of all pregnant women in the study period, 852 (30%) were pregnant teenagers. Of these 15.6% (133) corresponded to repeat adolescents. 5.2% of these women have 15 years and under. 67.7% attended only primary school. 64.7% are married or live together. 36.6% had IPP interval of 11 months and less. 6.8% had 2 or more previous pregnancies. 59.4% began prenatal care after 12 weeks gestation. 73.5% of these teenagers did not use birth control though that all of them were cited for their indication. When the IPP was related with schooling was observed that 59.4% of adolescents with IPP 11 months were concentrated in the lower level of education.

Conclusions:

The adolescents studied showed high risk factors which should have been previously identified to strengthen a support strategy.
