Overview
Every year, more than two million girls below the age of 15 become pregnant in low- and middle-income countries, and these pregnancies are more prevalent in sub-Saharan Africa, increasing maternal mortality and morbidity. Therefore, the objective of this narrative review of the literature was to present a detailed understanding of unintended adolescent pregnancies and explore the factors associated with these pregnancies, their consequences, and any gaps identified in the extant literature. The review included 19 articles accessed and retrieved from a variety of databases, namely: PubMed, ProQuest, Scopus, CINAHL, Western Libraries Catalogue, and Google Scholar. This review notes that adolescent pregnancies are primarily perceived to be social problems related to misconduct and delinquency, and across cultures, adolescent pregnancies are interpreted differently and given various meanings. The results of the review indicate that most unintended adolescent pregnancies are attributable to caused by a lack of sexual reproductive knowledge, and the effects of cultural factors such as limitations on open discussions between parents and children. Among the consequences of adolescent pregnancy included emotional trauma, social embarrassment, school dropout, and poverty. This narrative review highlights the need of exploring the issue of unintended adolescent pregnancies through a more comprehensive, multi-dimensional, and local perspective. By exploring the cultural, social, and political dimensions at the local context level, such approach can foster meaningful social and political changes, advocacy, and emancipation.
Chaque année, plus de deux millions de filles de moins de 15 ans tombent enceintes dans les pays à revenu faible ou intermédiaire. Ces grossesses sont plus fréquentes en Afrique subsaharienne, augmentant la mortalité et la morbidité maternelles. Ainsi, l'objectif de cette revue narrative de la littérature était de présenter une compréhension détaillée des grossesses non désirées chez les adolescentes et d'explorer les facteurs associés à ces grossesses, leurs conséquences et les lacunes identifiées dans la littérature existante. La revue comprenait 19 articles consultés et extraits de diverses bases de données, à savoir: PubMed, ProQuest, Scopus, CINAHL, Western Libraries Catalogue et Google Scholar. Cette étude met en évidence le fait que, dans notre société, les grossesses chez les adolescentes sont généralement considérées comme des problèmes sociaux associés à l’inconduite et à la délinquance. Elle démontre également que la signification et l’interprétation de ces mêmes grossesses peuvent varier considérablement selon la culture. Les résultats de cette étude indiquent que la plupart des grossesses non désirées chez les adolescentes sont imputables à un manque de connaissances en matière de sexualité et de reproduction et aux effets de facteurs culturels tels que les limitations aux discussions ouvertes entre parents et enfants. Parmi les conséquences des grossesses chez les adolescentes figurent les traumatismes émotionnels, la gêne sociale, le décrochage scolaire et la pauvreté. Cette revue de la littérature souligne l’importance de considérer le problème des grossesses non désirées chez les adolescentes sous un angle plus large, multidimensionnel et local. En explorant les aspects culturels, sociaux et politiques au niveau local, une telle approche peut engendrer des changements sociaux et politiques significatifs, la promotion des droits de l’homme et l’émancipation.
