Abstract

MARTINEZ ESQUIVEL, Daniel. The needs of teenage mothers in the educational context: a case study in an institution of public education. Enfermería Actual de Costa Rica [online]. 2015, n.28, pp.1-17. ISSN 1409-4568.  http://dx.doi.org/10.15517/revenf.v0i28.17059.

Introduction.

The teenage pregnancy is a public health problem that should be remedied in the present generation from health education. Nursing cannot ignore this process but must be sensitive to the needs of at-risk adolescents and pregnant teenagers. Therefore, this research was to answer what are the needs arising in the field of education in pregnant teens?

Method.

We designed a qualitative, phenomenological study. Data were collected by the technique of focus group involving three teenage mothers. The analysis was carried out from an interpretive perspective.

Results.

The main results showed personal needs like uniforms that meet their physical, infrastructure needs such as adequate chairs and desks, a specific space for breastfeeding, time to see your child and adequacy of class schedules.

Conclusión.

It is concluded that the implementation of public policies promotes respect for the rights of teenage mothers in personal, academic and infrastructural aspects.
