Abstract:

It was verified the prevalence of negative emotional indexes and associated factors of 430 adolescent mothers between 14 to 16 years old, in Porto Alegre, RS. Socio-demographic variables, socio-familiar relationships, reproductive aspects, abuse and violence were studied. Prevalence rate (RP) was obtained by Poisson regression through hierarchical analyses. Prevalence of intense psychological distress was 32,6%, and it was associated to low social class (RP=2,29), no school failure (RP=0,71), bad relationship with the mother (RP=2,02), lack of acceptance of the pregnancy by the father (RP=1,48), and lack of familiar support during pregnancy (RP=1,68). The prevalence of negative self-esteem was 15,4%, and it is was associated to bad relationship with the mother (RP=2,01) and not having a confident person (RP=1,75). None or few expectations towards the future was found in 7,5% of the adolescents and was associated to school failure (RP=2,56), nurture by biological mother (RP=0,364), early sexual initiation (RP=1,75), and occurrence of physical abuse (RP=1,66). The high prevalence of psychological distress found in the adolescent mothers of the present study deserves special attentionthe public health policies in order to include qualified professionals to manage the emotional aspects of early motherhood.
