NURSING INTERVENTION FOR PREGNANCIES NOT WISHED IN TEENAGERS
Abstract
In order to address the problem of unwanted pregnancies among youngsters, we have completed an observational and descriptive study between students of 15-16 (years old) from a school in the province of Huelva, Spain, to determine the cause(s) of above-mentioned increases. We consider this problem mainly affects the health and social costs, using both human and material resources. Likewise, to address the fact that many of these pregnancies are “interrupted” which creates important social and moral repercussions. To treat these problems we should pay attention to determine factors like earlier sexual arousal, changes in values, low risk perception and essentially the unreliable information sources that sometimes have different degrees of exactitude, such as friends, media, books and magazines. All this is what motivates us to find a nursing action geared to remedy the situation. The nursing action would be based, then, on giving better information about prevention and sexuality, an introduction to family planning, inviting both parents and teachers to attend. The aim is that sexual education becomes something natural and necessary at home, as well as part of the syllabus in school.Downloads
