Abstract

GONZALEZ-BETANCOURT, Evelyn  and  GARCIA-BARO, Yasser. The prevention of pregnancy in adolescence from an interdisciplinary, humanistic, active and transformative approach. Rev.Med.Electrón. [online]. 2024, vol.46  Epub Apr 21, 2024. ISSN 1684-1824.

Introduction:

Adolescent pregnancy is a complex health problem that requires the use of a holistic approach, sustainable from collaborative and intersectoral positions, for its prevention.

Objective:

To prepare a strategy for the prevention of pregnancy in adolescence from an interdisciplinary, humanistic, active and transformative approach.

Materials and methods:

Descriptive, longitudinal and retrospective research carried out between May and December 2023. Among the methods used are historical-logical, analytical-synthetic, systematization and modeling, mainly applied in the categorical design of the strategy and its structural contents. The review of documents, the survey and the formation of a focal group for the collection of empirical information linked to the prevention process and to obtain evaluative criteria were also used.

Results:

In the design of strategic actions, the integration of several disciplines such as family medicine, psychology, medical law, gyneco-obstetrics, and health education, as well as inter-professional relationships between health specialists, teachers, social workers and community leaders, is evidenced. After the implementation of the strategy, in the cognitive-communicational order, it was stated a proactive positioning of adolescents in self-care and self-management of health, from a transformative and intersectoral projection.

Conclusions:

Favorable evaluative criteria and an organizational arrangement of intersectoral scope prevail, which indicate the relevance of interdisciplinary, humanistic, active and transformative approach applied to the strategy for the prevention of pregnancy in adolescence, confirming the fulfillment of the proposed objective.

Keywords : prevention; adolescent pregnancy; interdisciplinary approach; sexual and reproductive education.
