“…These studies report that most of such pregnancies are unintended and unplanned, forcing young women to drop out of school. 10 , 15 In contrast to the previous studies, the present study indicates that most of the pregnant adolescents (70.1%) wished their current pregnancy. This may be because early marriages and having children at early ages are widely accepted by the society in the region.…”

“…Furthermore, the previous history of mental illness and unwanted pregnancy was shown to be statistically associated with both types of anxiety, in line with the systematic review ( Bayrampour et al., 2018 ) conducted between 2003 and 2015 involving ninety-seven scientific papers. Additionally, resilience and perceived social support were shown to be moderating variables, inversely associated with antenatal anxiety ( Ma et al., 2019 ; Peter et al., 2016 ).…”

“…A systematic review identified that a history of pregnancy loss, a previous affective disorder, and medical complications were significant factors strongly associated with an anxiety disorder in pregnancy ( Bayrampour et al., 2018 ). A few studies have revealed that high resilience levels and high perceived social support may mitigate antenatal anxiety disorders ( Ma et al., 2019 ; Peter et al., 2016 ).…”

Background Cumulative evidence suggests that early identification of anxiety in pregnancy is important, given that antenatal anxiety has been linked to morbid outcomes in expecting mothers and their offspring. However, the burden of antenatal anxiety is not yet known in Qatar. This research aims to measure the prevalence and determinants of generalized and pregnancy-related anxiety among pregnant women. Methods Eight hundred pregnant women completed a structured interview and self-administrated questionnaires after being selected through probability sampling from nine primary healthcare centers distributed across Qatar. We subjected the data to Binary and Multiple Logistic Regression Analysis. Furthermore, we conducted a Confirmatory Factor Analysis for the utilized scales. Results Out of eight hundred participants, 26.5% reported high pregnancy-related anxiety, while 16.4% had a generalized anxiety disorder. A high level of perceived social support and resilience was shown to mitigate generalized and pregnancy-related anxiety. However, we revealed that different determinants influence the two types of anxiety. Limitations There is no recognized optimal cut-off point to distinguish ‘high risk’ in pregnancy-related anxiety scales. Conclusions Pregnancy-related anxiety is more prevalent than generalized anxiety among pregnant women in Qatar, indicating that stakeholders must include screening for pregnancy-related anxiety in Qatar's clinical guidelines. Tailored interventional studies could focus on increasing resilience and social support to decrease the burden of antenatal anxiety.

“…3,4 A ansiedade e a depressão são fatores geradores de estresse que podem estar presentes mediante ausência ou apoio social deficiente, o que dificulta a consecução do tornar-se mãe, além de influenciar o crescimento e desenvolvimento da criança. 9 A abrupta quebra na vida social de uma adolescente que tem um filho e a ausência de apoio social geram sentimentos de medo e insegurança que, associados à intensiva demanda de cuidado que um recém-nascido requer, refletem sobrecarga, cansaço e irritação. E exige um olhar individual a esse contexto para prevenir agravamento na ansiedade e depressão que podem afetar tanto a mulher quanto o RN.…”

Objetivo: refletir sobre o tornar-se mãe na adolescência com base em alguns conceitos da teoria da consecução do papel materno de Ramona Mercer. Método: estudo teórico-reflexivo embasado na teoria da consecução do papel materno de Ramona Mercer. Foram selecionados os conceitos relacionados ao processo de tornar-se mãe no período da adolescência e apresentados em um eixo condutor. Resultados: a pouca idade materna pode afetar no enfrentamento, gerando sentimentos que impactam na autoestima e no autoconceito, já fragilizados na fase da adolescência. A tensão do papel pode agravar, sendo o apoio social um importante fator envolvido no papel maternal. Sua ausência gera sentimentos de medo, insegurança e depressão. A ausência paterna, por sua vez, é comum e pode enfraquecer a consecução do papel materno, visto sua contribuição na diminuição da tensão na díade mãe e criança. Cabe ao enfermeiro identificar fatores que possam impactar no desenvolvimento do papel materno e oferecer apoio e cuidados para o desenvolvimento dessa identidade materna. Conclusão: as reflexões tecidas acerca dos conceitos envolvidos no tornar-se mãe nesse período permitiram a compreensão das mudanças em seus diversos âmbitos. Os conceitos abordados possuem, ainda, forte inter-relação entre si e impactam diretamente no construto cuidado, cabendo ao enfermeiro alinhar sua prática assistencial com as reais necessidades das gestantes adolescentes.
