          Abstract

          OBJETIVOS: conhecer as percepções e práticas de adolescentes grávidas e de seus familiares em relação à gestação atual. MÉTODOS: estudo descritivo com 19 gestantes, de 10-19 anos que realizaram pré-natal nas unidades de saúde da família da ilha do Chié, em Recife, de agosto a setembro de 2002, e 14 responsáveis pelas adolescentes. Utilizaram-se dois instrumentos para coleta de dados e as questões abertas foram submetidas à análise de conteúdo. RESULTADOS: as adolescentes têm a mãe como responsável pelo cuidado (71,5%), iniciaram-se sexualmente com o namorado (73,7%), com idade entre 10-14 anos (52,7%), usando método contraceptivo (68,4%) e têm antecedentes reprodutivos (42,1%). Metade desejava a gravidez atual, 78,5% recebem apoio afetivo e financeiro do pai da criança e 57,2% da mãe. Antes de engravidar 10,5% não estudavam, nem trabalhavam, e atualmente 57,9% estão nessa condição. Suas responsáveis são mulheres, 21,4% analfabetas e 64,3% provem o sustento. Diante da gravidez das filhas sentiram alegria/satisfação (35,7%) e desgosto (28,5%), e 92,9% aceitaram o fato. CONCLUSÕES: a gravidez na adolescência nem sempre é percebida como um problema, o que reforça a importância da construção de estratégias de prevenção que considerem a realidade local.

          OBJECTIVES: to investigate information on perception and behavior of pregnant adolescents and their families related to current pregnancy. METHODS: descriptive study involving 19 pregnant adolescents from 10 to 19 years old under prenatal care in the family health units located in the Chié Island in Recife, from August to September 2002, and 14 family members and caretakers of these adolescents. Two collection tools were used and open questions were submitted to content analysis. RESULTS: adolescents are under the care of their mothers (71.5%), experienced their first sexual intercourse with their boyfriends (85.7%) when they were between 10-14 years old (52.7%) using contraceptives (68.4%) and have been pregnant before (42.1%). Half of them accepted their current pregnancy, 78.5% receive financial and psychological support from the child's father and 57.2% from their mother. Before becoming pregnant 10.5% were not going to school or held a job, currently 57.9% are in this condition. Their caretakers are women, 21.4% illiterate and 64.3% support them. When informed of the pregnancy they were happy/satisfied (35.7%) and unhappy (28.5%), 92.9% accepted the fact. CONCLUSIONS: pregnancy during adolescence is not always perceived as a problem and that reinforces the value of designing prevention strategies considering local reality.
