ABSTRACT
Background: Although most teenagers know the consequences
of the exercise of sexuality without protection, it
is surprising that a percentage will be pregnant yet despite
having received prior information.
Objective: Explore some of the knowledge, beliefs and attitudes
about sexuality in pregnant adolescents younger
than 17 years.
Patients and method: Exploratory, observational, crosssectional
and retrospective study with non-experimental
design of a single specimen consisting of a questionnaire
with the following questions: at what age did you have your
first boyfriend?, at what age did you have your first sexual
relationship?, did you receive information about sexuality?,
do you think that the information that you received from
sexuality was good, regular or bad?, did the information
you received prepared you for the start of your sex life?,
how was your first sexual relationship?, what were the
reasons to start sexual activity?, where did you have your
first sexual relation?
Results: 158 patients with average age of 15.6 participated
in the sample years and schooling of 8.8 years. Menarche occurred
to the 11.5 years, one year later they had boyfriend and
two years later the first intercourse. The 59.6% had a history
that her mother also became pregnant as a teenager. The
94.3% received information about sexuality; 58.2% considered
it good and 38.6% regular. Sexual life was started by curiosity
and desire in 67.1% and referred it as pleasant and very
enjoyable 80.9% of girls; 39.5% of them think that the bride
and groom should not have no sexual relationship.
Conclusions: Younger than 17 years pregnant teens enjoy
their first sexual experience, they reach it by curiosity and
desire, but they exercise it without protection, despite having
knowledge of the consequences.
