Pregnancy Prevention in Adolescence: A Scoping Review

Abstrak

World Health Organization (WHO) states that around 12 million teenage girls aged 15-19 years give birth each year. Teenage pregnancy can have various impacts, both on the baby and the mother. The purpose of this study was to determine the prevention of pregnancy during adolescence. The method used is a scoping review. Using a framework with steps to identify the focus of the review, develop the focus of the review & search strategy, identify relevant studies, map data using PRISMA, extract by compiling, summarizing, and reporting the results and discussion. The results of the scoping review after going through the PRISMA process obtained 10 articles (the initial number of articles was 3,002) with a value of A (Critical Appraisal) which were selected using quantitative & qualitative methods. The themes obtained were the causes of pregnancy during adolescence including peer influence, parental influence, lack of accurate information, social media, and economic status. Efforts to prevent pregnancy during adolescence include the role of parents, adequate information centers, reproductive and sexual health education, women's empowerment, and social sanctions.
