Gravidez na adolescência entre 10 e 14 anos: um balanço da literatura científica nacional entre 2000-2018

Abstract

This work aimed to produce a balance of the national scientific literature on teenage pregnancy in the age group 10 to 14 years, in the period 2000- 2018. We sought to identify whether the categories of race, class, gender and violence sexual, appear in publications and how they are problematized. For this, it was the search was performed on the Capes portal and on the Scielo platform for the descriptor "pregnancy in adolescence” for the period 2000 to 2018, incorporating studies in the survey that contemplated teenage pregnancy with an age range from 10 to 14 years. Twelve articles were selected, most of them epidemiological, reinforcing the notion of risk at this stage of life for the mother and child. THE teen motherhood is described as a "social problem" and "problem of health”, especially in the age group studied (10 to 14 years), commonly associated with poverty, low education, family breakdown, biological immaturity. At analyzes bring generalizing conceptions of the group, in a simplistic way and without consider the complexity of the phenomenon and the intersections between the various categories of social differentiation, emphasizing the position of social class, which appears in all jobs. In general the explored categories represented in the works, establish and delimit the "risk group" in which the sexuality and reproduction must be faced, moving away from a reading of the phenomenon from its complexities, from the heterogeneities of youth, cultural and social aspects that shape the experiences of these subjects.
