Gravidez na adolescência e o desfecho da prematuridade: uma revisão integrativa de literatura

Objective: To analyze how scientific production addresses the relationship between pregnancy in adolescence and the outcome of prematurity. Methods: Integrative review of the Virtual Health Library (BVS) and Scientific Eletronic Library Online databases with the descriptors Adolescence AND Prematurity. This is a research linked to the Interdisciplinary Center for Vulnerability and Health Studies at the State University of Feira de Santana, in Bahia. Data collection took place between March and April 2020, 2.838 articles were initially selected and after the inclusion criteria totaled 7 articles. Results: The reviewed articles showed divergences in the approach of early pregnancy with the incidence of prematurity, showing the influence of prenatal care and the level of education on the outcome of this phenomenon. Final considerations: Obstetric and fetal risks will only be reduced when there is a support network aimed at adolescents, who focus on reproductive, prenatal care and psychological and social support.
