Abstract |
This qualitative study aimed to understand adolescent pregnancy as perceived by adolescents under the care of Chum Phae Hospital, Khon Kaen, Thailand between April 2016 and March 2017. The 25 informants consisted of pregnant adolescents, adolescents in postpartum period, adolescents with sexual risk behaviors, and general adolescents. Data were collected using in-depth interviews and focus group discussions and were analyzed by content analysis. Findings on three issues were: 1) the perceptions on sexual intercourse, 2) the perceptions on the meaning of adolescent pregnancy, and 3) barriers to access to adolescent clinic services. It can be concluded that adolescent pregnancy is not only the problem of any particular person, but also a problem for all adolescents and healthcare providers who need to recognize the beginning of sexual intercourse leading to untimely pregnancy. Also, healthcare providers need to help foster appropriate sexual values and offer proactive services that appeal to adolescents in particular. |
