Abstract:

Adolescence is a stage of growth and development of great relevance. Unplanned teenage pregnancies can be considered a global public health problem due to the high impact on the present and future of these young people, as well as their possible offspring.

Abstract:

In México, perinatal maternal mortality constitutes the tenth cause of death among women between 15 and 29 years of age. Even though the factors that increase the risk of death of young Mexican pregnant women are unclear, it is possible that the psychosocial stress imposed upon them could impair their life’s quality in such a profound way that pulls their organisms into a cataclysmic event. To begin exploring the merits of this presumption, we conducted a study aimed at evaluating whether psychosocial stress impacts negatively on the adolescent pregnant women’s perception of their quality of l

Adolescent pregnancies continue to pose significant challenges in South Africa, impacting economic, health, social, and family domains. This paper explores the challenges of parents facing an adolescent’s pregnancy within a South African context, underlined by the Ubuntu theoretical framework to suggest interventions for social work practice. A qualitative phenomenological research approach was utilized.

Abstract:

While the drivers of adolescent pregnancy are widely studied, few studies have examined the social exclusions associated with early and unintended pregnancy. Drawing data from a larger mixed methods study on the lived experiences of pregnant and parenting adolescents and guided by Amatya Sen’s social exclusion framework, this qualitative explanatory study examines how poverty and the contestation around girls’ access to comprehensive sexuality education hinder them from preventing unintended pregnancy. It also examines why adolescent pregnancy further results in girls’ social exclusion with im

Adolescence is a key developmental period in one’s life course; health-related behaviors of adolescents can be linked to lifelong consequences, which affect their future health. Previous studies highlight the role of family and its significant association with adolescents’ health. In East Asia and the Pacific, the Philippines is the only country that is showing an upward trend of teenage pregnancy while other countries in the region have declining teenage pregnancy rates. Against this backdrop, this study investigated the association between teenage pregnancy and family factors, specifically p

Abstract:

Background: Adolescence pregnancy poses risks for both mothers and infants, often due to insufficient prenatal care resulting from societal stigmatization and lack of awareness. Around 16 million adolescents aged 15-19 years in the world give birth each year; in Indonesia, the first pregnant women aged <20 years are 45.10%, while in West Sumatra, it is 33.7%. To address this issue, integrated programs and midwifery care have been implemented. However, providing such care to adolescent mothers comes with its own set of challenges.Purpose: This study aims to conduct a midwifery assessment and

Abstract:

Most of the Helicobacter pylori infections occur in developing countries. The risk factors for H. pylori infections are poverty, overcrowding, and unhygienic conditions, which are common problems in under-privileged countries such as Nepal. Despite having a high risk of H. pylori infections, no national level study has been conducted to assess prevalence and correlates of H. pylori infection in Nepal. Therefore, we hypothesized that micronutrients such as iron, vitamin B12 deficiency, socio-economic status, and nutritional status correlate with the prevalence of H. pylori infection in Nepal. W

Anemia is a significant global health problem, especially in developing countries, with a high prevalence among adolescents and pregnant women. This study explores the potential of Moringa (Moringa oleifera) leaves as a nutrient source rich in iron and vitamin C to address anemia. Moringa leaves contain iron up to 7 mg per 100 g and vitamin C as much as 1,89 mg/g, which plays an important role in increasing hemoglobin levels and absorption of non-heme iron.

Compared with those who had not been victimized, young women with a history of sexual victimization were more symptomatic, had lower self esteem, and had a more external locus of control than the non-victimized women. In addition, women who were sexually victimized at some time in their lives reported higher levels of economic strain. Victimized young women were less satisfied with their social support than their non-victimized peers. Taken together, th
