A retrospective evaluation of pregnant adolescents presenting to an emergency department.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate demographic features, presenting complaints and outcomes of adolescent pregnancies admitted to the emergency department of a Turkish State hospital. The study sample included 1187 pregnant adolescents admitted to the emergency department of a state hospital. Data were collected with a form created by the researchers from the emergency department records and forensic records of the hospital. The pregnant adolescents presented to hospital with a wide range of complaints. The most frequent three reasons of presenting to the emergency department were abdominal pain, supervision of normal pregnancy and vaginal bleeding. More than half of them were discharged after their evaluation in the emergency department. In the study, it was determined that the use of the emergency department for non-emergency indications is widespread among adolescent pregnant women. These findings indicate that pregnant adolescents have unmet needs for reproductive health, especially antenatal care.

Comparison of characteristics between adolescent and adult pregnant women who used methamphetamine: a retrospective study in a tertiary hospital

PurposeThis study aims to examine the characteristics of pregnant women who used methamphetamine to determine the differences in characteristics between teenagers (aged under 20 or 20–25 years) and adult women who used methamphetamine during this period.Design/methodology/approachThis retrospective study extracted data from the medical records of obstetric patients who gave birth between 2011 and 2015 in a tertiary hospital in Thailand. All included patients were diagnosed with amphetamine use disorder. Demographic data, history of antenatal care, history of substance use and psychiatric evaluations were recorded.FindingsFour hundred and twelve patients were recruited for analysis. Of these, 194 (53.4%) did not attend regular antenatal care, 326 (92.1%) had unplanned pregnancies and 42 (12.5%) had a history of abortions. Socially, 47 patients (21.7%) reported drug use in their families and 160 (49.5%) reported a history of parental separation. Compared with the adult and 20–25 years groups, the < 20 years group tended to have a lower educational level, have experienced parental separation and had more regular antenatal care.Research limitations/implicationsPregnant teenagers with methamphetamine use had psychosocial difficulties. Physicians should be aware of these psychosocial issues, including education and family planning.Originality/valueThese findings showed that pregnant women who used methamphetamine faced psychosocial difficulties, unplanned pregnancies and inadequate antenatal care. Adult and teenage pregnant women who used methamphetamine differed in some ways. For example, teenage pregnant women tended to be of a lower education level, experienced parental separation and had a history of more frequent antenatal care. Further longitudinal research exploring the outcomes of mothers who used methamphetamine and their children is needed to build on the existing evidence.

Early teenage pregnancy (12 to 14 years) in Solidaridad, Q. Roo. México

Introduction. As of 2019, adolescent girls aged 15-19 in low- and middle-income countries had approximately 21 million pregnancies each year, of which approximately 50% were unintended and resulted in 12 million births. Material and method. Retrospective, cross-sectional, descriptive and observational study on the prevalence of pregnancies in adolescents between 10 and 14 years of age in the municipality of Solidaridad, Q. Roo México, during a five-year period (2018 to 2022) by reviewing the clinical records of all early adolescent pregnant women. Descriptive statistics of central tendency and dispersion were used for analysis. Results. During the study period, 14 cases of early pregnant adolescents (10 to 14 years old) were found out of a total of 629 pregnancies in early and late adolescents between 10 and 19 years old, distributed as follows: 2018=4; 2019=9, 2020=1. Discussion. Despite efforts to reduce the incidence of teenage pregnancy, including preventing child marriage, keeping girls in education and improving access to contraception, adolescent girls continue to get pregnant and few developing countries adequately prioritize their care. An insight into adolescent pregnancy experiences will help identify whether context-specific services meet their needs, whether they require additional support, and how to optimize their pregnancy experience. Conclusions. We found only two factors as Maternal Risk Factors: 1) RF&lt;17 years and 2) lack of birth control. As Fetal Risk Factors three cases at birth by cesarean section. Regarding the other maternal-fetal risk factors, they did not appear in the patients of this age group. It appears that early adolescent mothers can have low-risk pregnancies at this hospital from a biological but not a sociological point of view.

The Correlation Between the Husband's Support and the Psychological Well-Being of Pregnant Adolescents

Background: Teenage pregnancy can be defined by the occurrence of pregnancy in girls aged 10-19 years who still have emotional instability. This emotional instability can affect the psychological well-being of pregnant adolescents, which will cause disturbances in their pregnancy; therefore, the husband's support is needed so that mothers can feel security and comfort in their pregnancy to achieve maternal and fetal health in the womb. Objective: To determine the correlation between husband's support and psychological well-being in pregnant adolescents. Method: This study used a quantitative method with a cross-sectional design. The sampling technique used total sampling with a total sample of 30 respondents. The study was conducted in the Moga Health Care Center Pemalang Regency, Central Jawa Province, Indonesia. Data analysis used is univariate analysis to determine the frequency distribution of respondent characteristics (age, number of pregnancies and education), and bivariate analysis to determine the relationship between independent variables (husband's support) with the dependent variable (psychosocial condition of adolescent pregnant women) Results: This study shows a significant correlation between husband's support and the psychological well-being of pregnant adolescents in the Moga Community Health Care Center, with a p-value of 0.000. Conclusion: Pregnant women who lack a husband's support will be at risk of experiencing psychological well-being in their pregnancy, especially pregnant adolescents.

COVID-19 anxiety and quality of life among adolescent pregnant women: a cross-sectional study.

To determine the relationship between the COVID-19 anxiety and the quality of life among adolescent pregnant women in Dashtiari city, Iran. In this cross-sectional study, 216 adolescent pregnant women in Dashtiari city, Iran in 2021 who met the inclusion criteria participated in a multi-stage sampling. Data collection tools included: demographic information, COVID-19 Anxiety Scale and a questionnaire of quality of life. Finally, the obtained data were analyzed in SPSS software version 21 using descriptive, Chi-square, Tukey and logistic regression tests. The results showed that 74 (34.3%) adolescent pregnant women had weak COVID-19 anxiety, 23 (10.6%) had moderate COVID-19 anxiety and 119 (55.1%) had severe COVID-19 anxiety. The results also showed that gestational age (OR=2.2, p=0.03), history of COVID-19 infection among adolescent pregnant women (OR=1.6, p=0.02), history of family and friends (OR=1.7) (p=0.04), quality of life (OR=4.3, p=0.001), increases the probability of COVID-19 anxiety. Considering the psychological consequences of the post-COVID-19 era and the psychological events that occur in this period, by identifying and predicting these issues, strategies should be considered for optimal intervention and reduction of injuries in the post-crisis era.

A study to assess the prevalence of anemia among patients attending an urban health training center in Bihar: One year experience of anemia Mukt Bharat test and treat campaign

Background: Anemia is a major and serious public health problem. Its prevalence is disproportionately high in developing countries due to its low socio-economic status and poor access to health services. Consequently, this study was conducted to sought the prevalence of anemia as well as its association with the sociodemographic characteristics among the beneficiaries of Anemia Mukt Bharat test and treat campaign in an Urban Health Training Centre in Bihar. Aims and Objectives: The aim of the study was to assess the prevalence of anemia among patients attending an Urban health training center in Bihar. Materials and Methods: It was a retrospective record based study conducted at Urban Health Training Centre running under Department of Community and Family Medicine of a Tertiary care teaching hospital. The registered cases from September 2018 to August 2019 were taken up and case records were retrieved. Statistical analysis was done using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS Inc., Chicago, State of Illinois, United States) version 21 software. Results: Screening of total 2042 was done over the study period of 1 year. The overall prevalence of anemia among the beneficiaries was 64.3% (95% CI: 62.3–66.5%) in the study. Significantly higher prevalence of anemia was noted among the adolescent girls (62.5%), pregnant women (62.4%), and reproductive age female (71.1%). Whereas, only 32.3% male were found to be anemic. Furthermore, illiteracy (73.5%), non-consumption of non-vegetarian diet (69.3%), and IFA tablet (84.6%) were found to be associated with anemia. Conclusion: The association of anemia with few socio demographic and dietary factors has been highlighted through the study findings. Screening programs for anemia, awareness campaigns, deworming program, fortification of food and salt with iron and folic acid, and non-pharmacological interventions such as cooking in iron utensils are some of the measures that can be implemented.

Multiple sexually transmitted co-infections are associated with adverse reproductive outcomes in asymptomatic adolescent pregnant women; A Prospective cohort study.

A prospective cohort was conducted to assess the prevalence of seven RTIs/STIs in adolescent asymptomatic pregnant women to find a significant correlation between infection and pregnancy. The study was restricted to 18-19 years of asymptomatic adolescent pregnant women attending Ante-Natal Care and the health status of the pregnant women were followed up to parturition. The health status of the infant was followed till 6 months post-delivery. The prevalence of the concerning pathogens and the significance of their association with adverse outcomes of pregnancy were determined. Among 279 subjects, the most significant co-infections were observed for M. hominis with U. parvum (9.31%; p-value-0.0071/OR-2.6421) and U. urealyticum (7.88%; p-value-0.0119/OR-2.6455). Statistically significant associations were found between C. trachomatis [(p-value-0.0439); OR-2.9902] and M. genitalium [(p-value-0.0284); OR-3.442] with PTB, N. gonorrhoeae with LBW <2.5 kg [(p-value-0.0052);OR-4.9017], U. urealyticum with VLBW <2 kg [(p-value-0.0262);OR-3.0207], M. genitalium [(p-value-0.0184); OR-11.7976] and T. vaginalis with PROM [(p-value 0.0063); OR-19.4275] while M. genitalium [(p-value 0.0190); OR-12.9230] and U. urealyticum [(p-value 0.0063); OR-14.5149] with PPROM with 95% CI respectively. Asymptomatic adolescents are at high risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes if infected with the concerned pathogens.

The Association Of Adolescent Pregnancy With Stunting Incidence In Child Under Five Years Old; Literatur Review

Background: Nowadays early marriage is a worldwide issue and influences maternal outcome and increases the incidence of stunting. Stunting is known as one of the most significant barriers to human development and globally affects around 162 million children under the age of 5 years. The Global stunting incidence in children under 5 years is 149.2 million or about 22.0% of all children under five. The prevalence of stunting in children aged less than 5 years old in Africa is around 31.7%, Southeast Asia is 30.1%, the Eastern Mediterranean Region is 26.2% and in Indonesia it is 24.4%. It is known that children born of women who are less than 20 years have a 1.3 times risk of experiencing stunting and the prevalence of stunting in adolescent pregnant women is around 44.4% compared to mothers who are old enough, namely 35.6%.&#x0D; Purpose: &#x0D; Method: This was a literature review collected from four e-databases search was conducted by PubMed (Medline), Web of science, Scopus and ScienceDirect for articles published between 2019 and 2021 that examine teenage pregnancy and stunting. Existing articles will be filtered and eliminated according to the inclusion criteria and analyzed to find the conclusions from the entire study.&#x0D; Results:. The search led to primary research publications including qualitative and quantitative research. The articles were published between 2019 and 2021. Most of the articles showed that young maternal age influences maternal outcome and we need to pay attention to stunting incidence. Even though there are a lot of factors that play a role in stunting such as nutrition, disease, parent height, etc. but five articles that have been filtered agree that adolescent pregnancy is the main factor that plays a role in stunting..&#x0D; Conclusion : Our review found the closely related factors that related with stunting are early marriage, clean-healthy behaviors and mental emo-disorder of adolescent mothers. However, there are other factors causing stunting namely direct and indirect factors. Robust programs to support pregnant women and monitor children’s heights from birth will help prevent intergenerational stunting. Nevertheless, it is also necessary to review the policy on how stunting criteria are set in Indonesia based on socio-demographic conditions.

Perinatal and neonatal outcomes of adolescent pregnancies over a 10-year period.

Poor overall neonatal outcomes, small neonatal head circumference, neonatal hypoglycemia, need for Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and late-onset neonatal sepsis are more common in adolescents. The aim of this study is to draw attention to the outcomes of adolescent pregnancies. This retrospective study was conducted in adolescent singleton pregnancies with maternal age < 15 years (n = 20, group 1), 16-19 years (n = 1929, group 2), and 20 years (n = 866, group 3). Age, gravidity, parity, and body mass index (BMI) measurements of mothers; mode of delivery, maternal and neonatal outcomes were evaluated and compared. The rate of preterm birth, postpartum hemorrhage, asymmetrical intra-uterine growth restriction (IUGR, as 3% percentile), macrosomia, and height of newborn of Group 3 was significantly higher. The rate of asymmetrical IUGR (as 10% percentile) was significantly lower in Group 3. The rate of severe preeclampsia and cesarean section was significantly higher in Group 3. The rate of Small for Gestational Age newborn, neonatal hypoglycemia, and late-onset neonatal sepsis was significantly higher in Group 1. Neonatal problems with poor obstetric outcomes are common in adolescent pregnant women, so that a family planning and baby care social trainings are important in achieving good long-term maternal and neonatal outcomes.

Obstetric and perinatal outcomes of teenage pregnant women: a retrospective study

Background: teenage pregnancy is a worldwide social problem. The aim of this study is to provide more data for a better understanding of the possible maternal and foetal risks associated with teenage pregnancies.&#x0D; Methods: the hospital records of all pregnant women, aged between 14 and 19, from the obstetric registers of the Policlinico Umberto I Hospital in Rome, between 2000 and 2010, have been completely reviewed (n=184). For each pregnant woman socio-demographic characteristics, obstetric history, pregnancy and birth outcomes were also determined. Our results were compared with a control group composed of 150 primigravida adult women aged 20-29 years who delivered at the Policlinico Umberto I Hospital in Rome in the same period.&#x0D; Results: the mean age ± SD of the study group was 17.9 ± 1.2, while that of the control group was 25.4 ± 2.4. The control group had a significantly lower risk of preterm delivery (p=0.000). The rate of low birth weight babies born to the young mothers was significantly higher than that of babies born to the adult mothers (p=0.036). The study group had a lower risk of instrumental delivery and a higher proportion of spontaneous delivery (p=0.000). Finally, we observed a statistically significant difference of the APGAR score at the fifth minute between the two groups (p=0.004).&#x0D; Conclusions: our results seemed to confirm the outcomes of previous studies for adolescent pregnant women, mainly regarding the increased risks of preterm deliveries and low birth weight babies, the higher incidence of spontaneous vaginal delivery and the lower incidence of instrumental delivery.

EVALUATION OF SOCIODEMOGRAPHIC FEATURES AND ANXIETY LEVELS OF PREGNANT ADOLESCENT AND ADULT PREGNANCY

ABSTRACT&#x0D; Objective: In this study, it was aimed to examine some sociodemographic characteristics and state trait anxiety levels of adolescent and adult pregnant women.&#x0D; Methods: The research was carried out in three health center regions affiliated to Kayseri Melikgazi Health Group Presidency. A total of 2100 births took place in this region of health centers in 2007. By taking the adolescent pregnancy frequency of 10% and the minimum acceptable value of 5%, it was calculated that 138 individuals should be included for the 95% confidence interval with the Epi Info 6.0 program. A total of 300 pregnant women were included in the study. 132 of the pregnants are adolescent pregnants and 168 of them are non-adolescent pregnants. The data were collected by the researcher through face-to-face interviews. Data; It consists of an information form consisting of 23 questions related to sociodemographic characteristics and reproductive health, and State and Trait Anxiety scale questions. The data were transferred to the SPSS program and analyzed. Chi-square and student-t tests were used in the analysis.&#x0D; Results: When the mean age at marriage was examined, it was found that adolescent pregnant women (16.6± 0.9) were much lower than non-adolescents (20.6± 3.1).All of the spouses of non-adolescent pregnant women are working, and 22.7% of the spouses of adolescent pregnant women do not have a job. At the same time, the monthly average income of non-adolescent pregnant women is higher than that of adolescent pregnant women. The rate of consanguineous marriage in adolescent pregnant women was found to be 28%. The mean of the state and trait anxiety scale is inversely proportional to the education level of the participants, and the mean of the scale decreases as the education level increases. The rate of not completing primary school was quite high in adolescent pregnant women and it was determined as 43.2%. This rate is 4.2% in non-adolescent pregnant women.&#x0D; Conclusion: Higher anxiety is observed due to the low level of education of pregnant adolescents who have not yet completed their own development.

Analysis Stunting Prevention and Intervention: A Literatur Review

The incidence of stunting in Indonesia is still high, various efforts have been made by the government to reduce stunting. Stunting is a health problem that often occurs in children which can result in decreased productivity and intelligence in adulthood. This study aims to analyze the prevention factors for stunting at the age of toddlers. Checklist Prisma has been used for registration of titles, abstracts, full texts and methodologies with the keywords Analysis AND stunting AND Prevention AND Intervention. The computerized databases that have been used to search for articles in this study are Science Direct, Pubmed, ProQuest and Google Scholar. Has used articles that report quantitative and qualitative research in journals published in the period 2017 to 2022. The method used in data analysis is thematic analysis. This literature review involved 29 selected articles. There were 8 main factors that could affect stunting, namely nutrition/nutrition, economic status, education/knowledge, sanitation/environment, geographic location, government/cross-sectoral policies, age of marriage and health education. Most of the factors that contribute to stunting prevention are the provision of macronutrient/micronutrient supplements in the form of zinc tablets to adolescent girls, pregnant women, and supplementary feeding to children under five. Most of the studies reported in these 29 articles used a qualitative, quantitative design and were conducted in Bangladesh, China, India, Indonesia, Pakistan, Peru, Nepal, USA and Zimbabwe. In all these articles it is reported that the incidence of stunting is still high in several countries and especially in Indonesia. This literature review reported using 29 articles that met the inclusion criteria from the Science Direct, Pubmed, ProQuest and Google Scholar databases. The results detect the main factors that influence the occurrence of stunting, namely malnutrition in the early 1000 days of life, while for prevention is giving blood/zinc tablets to adolescents, pregnant women.
