“…Therefore, our estimate on partner involvement should be interpreted with caution. Given that health workers often disapprove adolescent pregnancy 63 , adolescent girls may under report their true pregnancy intention in fear of disapproval by the nurses collecting this data—in this case, the true prevalence of unintended pregnancy among adolescent girls could be higher than the reported prevalence in this study. Because our study collected limited data on demographic and behavioral factors that may influence unintended pregnancy, the identified factors associated with unintended pregnancy may not be a comprehensive list.…”

To describe the prevalence of unintended pregnancy and its association with HIV status among pregnant women in South Africa. A cross-sectional survey was conducted between October and mid-November 2019 among pregnant women aged 15–49 years in 1589 selected public antenatal care facilities. Pregnancy intention was assessed using two questions from the London Measure of Unplanned Pregnancy. Survey logistic regression examined factors associated with unintended pregnancy. Among 34,946 participants, 51.6% had an unintended pregnancy. On multivariable analysis, the odds of unintended pregnancy was higher among women who knew their HIV-positive status before pregnancy but initiated treatment after the first antenatal visit (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 1.5 [95% confidence interval (CI):1.2–1.8]), women who initiated treatment before pregnancy (aOR, 1.3 [95% CI:1.2–1.3]), and women with a new HIV diagnosis during pregnancy (aOR, 1.2 [95% CI:1.1–1.3]) compared to HIV-negative women. Women who were single, in a non-cohabiting or a cohabiting relationship, and young women (15–24 years) had significantly higher risk of unintended pregnancy compared to married women and women aged 30–49 years, respectively. A comprehensive approach, including regular assessment of HIV clients’ pregnancy intention, and adolescent and youth-friendly reproductive health services could help prevent unintended pregnancy.

“…In these cases mostly the girls got married soon after menarche and as a result of this many kids are born from adolescent mothers and this adds on to other social and personal problem. [6][7][8][9] There are many reasons behind the teenage pregnancy like social, educational, racial inequity and these reasons increase the risk of obstetrical complications onwards. [10][11][12][13] Pregnancy in young females (< 20 years) is associated with higher rates of illness and death for both the mother and infant.…”

Objective: To determine the association of adolescence pregnancy and adverse pregnancy outcome. Study Design: Prospective Cohort study. Setting: Department of Gynae and Obs, HBS General Hospital Islamabad. Period: June-2018 to April-2019. Material & Methods: A total of 226 pregnant females with singleton pregnancy of 20-24 weeks gestational age and 16 to 30 years of age were included in the study. Patients with known diabetics, h/o chronic hypertension, known smoker and any renal disease etc. were excluded. Women included were divided into two groups. All women between 16-20 years of age were included in adolescence group (group A) and age >20-30 years in adult group (group B). All patients were followed till delivery and outcome variables like adverse pregnancy outcome in terms of preeclampsia and small for gestational age infants were noted. Results: The mean age of women in group A was 18.15 ± 0.79 years and in group B was 25.42 ± 2.08 years. The mean gestational age in group A was 21.54 ± 1.46 weeks and in group B was 21.98 ± 1.07 weeks. Frequency of small for gestational age infants in adolescence group was 7.96% while in adult group was 1.76% with p-value of 0.030 and relative risk of 4.5 which is significant. Frequency of pre-eclampsia in adolescence group was 21.24% while in adult group was 4.42% with p-value of 0.000 and relative risk of 4.8 which is significant. Conclusion: This study concluded that the frequency of pre-eclampsia and small for gestational age infants in adolescence pregnancy is higher compared to adult pregnancy which shows adolescence pregnancy as a risk factor for pre-eclampsia and small for gestational age infants.

“…Tais aspectos voltam-se para a importância do contexto de mães adolescentes, para a compreensão de circunstâncias e do enfrentamento de barreiras e para a construção do autocuidado seguro e dos cuidados protetores com a saúde da criança (1,6) . Nesse âmbito, o fenômeno da maternidade na adolescência requer um cuidado de enfermagem singular para mães adolescentes, alicerçado na prática solidária, sem julgamentos, com compreensão de seu contexto de vida e de suas necessidades (10) e de construção da autonomia (6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11) . Na atenção à saúde de adolescentes, de modo geral, a abordagem do EHC tem potencial para apoiar a comunicação entre enfermeiras/os e adolescentes (1,15) .…”

“…Em termos da atenção efetiva à saúde das mães adolescentes, são apontados como essenciais o alcance de metas de mortalidade materna e a melhoria na cobertura dos serviços de saúde, atentando para desigualdades e vulnerabilidades entre mães adolescentes (15 a 19 anos) e adultas (20 e 34 anos) no pré-natal, nascimento e puerpério (8) . Os conhecimentos e a proximidade com o cenário de vida de mães adolescentes permitem que os profissionais de saúde ofereçam mais suporte na prestação de cuidados (6,(9)(10)(11)(12) . Assim, é essencial que os serviços de saúde estejam organizados para acolher, acompanhar e intervir junto às mães adolescentes (11) , com destaque para as potencialidades da atuação de enfermeiras/os no âmbito da atenção primária à saúde (APS) (1,13) .…”
