Abstract

Introduction: Adolescent pregnancy determines serious biological, psychological and social problems in the young pregnant woman.

Objective: To raise the level of knowledge of adolescents about adolescent pregnancy.

Methods: A preexperimental study of educational intervention about adolescent pregnancy was carried, from January 2019 to October 2020, at Del Pino family doctor’s office belonging to Fermín Valdés Domínguez Teaching Polyclinic, Baracoa Municipality. The universe was made up of the 103 adolescents from the area who did not have any associated mental disorders that would affect the understanding of the study. A simple random sample of thirty adolescents who gave their consent to participate was selected. The primary data collection was obtained from the survey applied before and after.

Results: There was a predominance of female adolescents between fourteen and sixteen years of age. There was an initial lack of knowledge about aspects related to adolescent pregnancy, while a postintervention increase was shown with respect to the level of knowledge about such aspects.
