Abstract
A elevada freqüência de gestação precoce no Brasil e, particularmente, em Teresina (21,5%), Piauí, motivou o presente estudo, cuja meta foi identificar os níveis de conhecimento objetivo e percebido sobre contraceptivos hormonais orais, bem como variáveis reprodutivas e sócio-demográficas preditoras de elevado conhecimento. Realizou-se estudo transversal com 278 adolescentes com idade de 15 a 19 anos de idade, com antecedentes reprodutivos, internadas em quatro maternidades de Teresina, em 2006. Regressão logística foi a base da análise estatística. Quase 98% das adolescentes apresentaram baixo conhecimento tanto objetivo quanto percebido. Apenas o maior número de gestações foi preditor de elevado conhecimento objetivo para anticoncepcionais orais. Os baixos níveis de conhecimento objetivo e percebido das adolescentes sobre o uso de anticoncepcionais orais revelam a suscetibilidade das jovens ao comportamento sexual de risco. Sugere-se a utilização de abordagem mais interativa com os adolescentes para elevar o nível de conhecimento tanto objetivo quanto percebido deles, e assim reduzir a incidência e reincidência da gravidez indesejada na adolescência e suas conseqüências negativas na vida destas jovens e de sua prole.
The high rate of early pregnancy in Brazil and particularly in Teresina (21.5%), Piauí State, motivated the current study, the aim of which was to identify levels of objective and perceived knowledge on oral contraceptives, as well as predictive reproductive and socio-demographic variables for high knowledge. A cross-sectional study was performed including 278 teenage mothers (15-19 years), with their childbearing history, admitted to four maternity hospitals in Teresina in 2006. Logistic regression provided the basis for the statistical analysis. Nearly 98% of the adolescent mothers showed low objective and perceived knowledge of oral contraceptives. High parity was the only predictor of increased objective knowledge on oral contraceptives. The adolescents' low level of objective and perceived knowledge on use of oral contraceptives emphasized their susceptibility to risky sexual behavior. The findings emphasize the need for a more interactive approach with adolescents concerning their level of objective and perceived knowledge, to reduce the occurrence and repetition of unwanted teenage pregnancy and its negative consequences for the lives of these young mothers and their children.
