Cultura familiar y patrones reiterativos en salud sexual y reproductiva de madres adolescentes en la frontera colombovenezolana (departamento Norte de Santander y Táchira)

Abstract

Venezuela. For the development of the basic pillars that determine this writing developed two independent research projects framed in an agreement of institutional cooperation: "The Tachira in figures, 2014, maternity and pregnancy in adolescents" executed by the social observatory of the Catholic University of Tachira (Venezuela) and "Maternity in adolescents from Norte de Santander" elaborated by the university of Simon Bolivar headquarters of Cucuta (Colombia). The two studies were made from a quantitative research approach with a non-experimental design of descriptive scope and cross-section. A stratified unsystematic sampling was used for proportional sampling in Norte de Santander and Tachira. A survey was applied to a sample of 406 people from Norte De Santander and 235 adolescents in the state Tachira between 10 and 19 years of age. The results indicate that the family plays a fundamental role in the configuration of beliefs, approach to sexuality and in the subsequent acquisition of information. On the other hand, the circumstances of mothers of adolescents with respect to age to pregnancy have to be repeated intergenerationally, becoming a repetitive pattern. In respect to family relationships and how they were determined it was possible to conclude that this study is not a contingent factor because before adolescence adolescents had a close relationship with their relatives and considered their parents were aware of their needs.
