“…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.…”

“…For example, Babington et al (2015) found that pregnant adolescents' perceptions of social support are lower than the adolescents who are not pregnant. 15 The same study also mentioned the responsibilities of mothers, grandmothers, and sisters in providing baby care. McVeigh and Smith (2010) conducted study on adolescent and adult mothers and showed that although satisfaction from the social support was significantly low for both groups, partner support was higher for young mothers.…”

Findings pertaining to the participants'fertility showed that 69.3% were primiparous, 24.4% had at least one living child. The mean score for pregnant adolescents' perception of social support was 50.79±8.72.

Background: The World Health Organization states that mothers during labor and delivery should be supported by people with whom they feel comfortable, because one of the non-pharmacological methods of relieving labor pain is the continued support of midwives in labor. The primary objectives of this study were to determine the effect of continuous midwifery support in labor on delivery experience and self-esteem of nulliparous women 6 weeks after delivery.Methods: This randomized controlled trial was performed in 2021 on 70 pregnant women admitted to the delivery ward who met the inclusion criteria. Participants were randomly allocated to two groups through balanced block randomization with a block size of 4. Participants completed a demographic and midwifery information questionnaire before entering the study. In the intervention group, in addition to routine labor care, the researcher was present at the mother's bedside and was present with the mother continuously throughout the labor and up to 2 hours after delivery and provided the necessary support. The control group received only routine labor and postpartum care. Six weeks after delivery, participants in both groups were contacted to complete the CEQ and Rosenberg self-esteem questionnaires. Finally, data were collected and analyzed. Significance level was considered 0.05.Results: By controlling the effect of duration of the first and second stages of labor as potential confounders, the mean (sd) of childbirth experience 6 weeks after delivery was 70.92 (7.07) in the intervention group and 59.69 (7.08) in the control group, and this difference was statistically significant (p <0.001). The amount of effect size indicates a very strong effect of the intervention on improving the childbirth experience (Cohen’s d = 1.69; 95% CI: 1.12, 2.26). Comparison of the mean of maternal self-esteem showed that this rate in the intervention group was 2 scores higher than the control group and this difference was statistically significant (p = 0.05). Cohen's d indicates the average effect of intervention on mothers' self-esteem score (Cohen's d = 0.56; 95% CI: 0.06, 1.05).Conclusions: Continuous support of the midwife in labor and up to 2 hours after delivery can lead to a better childbirth experience and increase the mother's self-esteem up to 6 weeks after delivery.Trial registration: IRCT ID: IRCT20201102049233N1, First Registration date: 2021-06-04

“…No estudo conduzido por Babington et al (2015), foi possível perceber que menores níveis de autoestima e apoio social reduzido, eram mais frequentes entre adolescentes que engravidaram. No polo oposto, verificaram que as adolescentes com maior autoestima e apoio social, têm menor probabilidade de engravidar.…”

Objetivo: A ocorrência de uma gravidez na adolescência pode trazer implicações que devem ser analisadas e avaliadas. O presente estudo tem como objetivo explorar a influência da gravidez na imagem corporal e autoestima das adolescentes. Método: Síntese de resultados obtidos a partir de estudos identificados por recurso a metodologia baseada nos princípios de revisão integrativa para seleção e localização de estudos quantitativos e qualitativos. Estudos publicados e indexados a bases de dados de pesquisa eletrónica. Resultados: Tendo em consideração os critérios de inclusão e exclusão definidos, foram identificados 3 estudos, cujos resultados foram agrupados em torno de três eixos: i) Perceção positiva, ii) Dificuldade na autocrítica e iii) Perceção negativa. Os resultados demonstraram que a gravidez pode influenciar a imagem corporal e a autoestima da adolescente de forma positiva ou negativa, dependendo da forma como é feito o acompanhamento. Os riscos psicossociais da gravidez são inúmeros e conhecidos. Conclusões: A problemática da gravidez na adolescência exige um estudo aprofundado, de forma a contribuir para o desenvolvimento de intervenções e a concertação de estratégias para a sua prevenção. A construção de um forte apoio social poderá ter como efeito uma imagem corporal positiva e um aumento da autoestima nas adolescentes grávidas, mas também poderá funcionar como um fator preventivo da gravidez pela redução de comportamentos de risco.
