Abstract

Introduction: Teenage pregnancy is an early gestation that occurs in women between the ages of 10 and 19, who have reached a sexual maturity that allows them to procreate, but does not mean they are in the best condition to handle this responsibility.

Objective: To raise awareness about teenage pregnancy among young people aged 14 to 19, belonging to Family Doctor's Office No. 1 in "30 de Noviembre" Health Area, from September 2023 to February 2024.

Method: A quasi-experimental, before-and-after educational intervention study was carried out, without a control group, from September 2023 to February 2024. The universe consisted of 74 adolescents, for which a sample of 45 was chosen and the work was divided into three stages: diagnosis, intervention and evaluation. The validation of the results was determined using the McNemar test and subsequently, the variability coefficient was calculated to evaluate the impact of the process.

Results: The majority of participants were late adolescents, with 30 young people, representing 66.67%. The predominant gender was female, with 26 adolescents. Before the training, 38 had inadequate knowledge, and afterwards 44 had adequate knowledge, representing 97.78%.

Conclusions: The applied educational intervention successfully raised the level of knowledge about teenage pregnancy in the studied sample, by providing them with information on the causes and consequences of this health problem.

Keywords: adolescents, teenage pregnancy, educational intervention, level of knowledge
