ALONSO URIA, Rosa María  e  RODRIGUEZ ALONSO, Beatriz. Learning requirements of health professionals on care for adolescent pregnant woman and mother. Rev Cubana Med Gen Integr [online]. 2014, vol.30, n.2. ISSN 0864-2125.

Introduction: pregnancy in adolescents represents a health problem because they have not reached the necessary maturity to fulfill the maternal role, all of which has an impact on her future development and on her children. Objectives: to identify the learning requirements of health professionals concerning the comprehensive care for adolescent pregnant and mother in Regla and Guanabacoa municipalities. Method: descriptive, prospective and cross-sectional study was carried out based on a questionnaire about necessary topics in the comprehensive care that was applied from October to December 2012. Results: the questionnaire was applied to 100 professionals. In this group, 43% had 70 to 79 point score, 29% attained 80 to 89, 15% scored 60 to 69 and just 7% showed very good knowledge about this topic. The lack of adequate knowledge was mostly noticed in issues such as complications of pregnancy in adolescence, birth-control methods, and use of emergency contraception, management of neonates, breastfeeding, and techniques and advantages of breastfeeding. The lack of expertise in psychoprophylaxis and the lack of knowledge about the frequency of follow-up consultations for the pregnant women, adolescent puerperas and their newborns were evident. Conclusions: health professionals require acquiring knowledge on the comprehensive and correct care for adolescent pregnant and mother as well as on the adequate raising of their children. A professional upgrading strategy is needed to meet these requirements and to eliminate the cognitive gaps.
