摘要

少女怀孕在发展中国家是一个巨大的社会问题。东开普省是南非青少年怀孕率高的省份之一。指导本文的研究调查了南非姆塔塔曼德拉公园社区与少女怀孕相关的社会经济因素。采用滚雪球抽样和目的抽样的方法,对居住在曼德拉公园(Mthatha)的15名年龄在18-35岁之间的女性进行了横断面研究。通过面对面、深入的结构化访谈进行了定性研究。目标人群包括那些在青少年时期就怀孕的人。研究结果显示,在曼德拉公园社区,绝大多数人反对少女怀孕。这项研究的结果也表明,少女怀孕仍然是一个问题,需要立即和适当的干预来解决。在Mthatha的曼德拉公园社区,少女怀孕人数的上升被认为可能是低社会经济地位和缺乏性教育的结果。因此,该研究建议政府应允许任何年龄的儿童在未经父母同意的情况下获得避孕药具。此外,需要从小学开始,在社区和学校定期进行安全性教育。

Socio-economic Factors Associated with Teenage Pregnancy in the Mandela Park Community of Mthatha, South Africa
Teenage pregnancy is a huge social problem in developing countries. Eastern Cape is one of the provinces in South Africa with a high rate of teenage pregnancy. The study that directed this article investigated the socio-economic factors associated with teenage pregnancy in the Mandela Park community of Mthatha, South Africa. Using snowball sampling and purposive sampling, a cross-sectional study was conducted using 15 females within the age group of 18–35 years residing in Mandela Park (Mthatha). A qualitative study was conducted through face-to-face, in-depth structured interviews. The target population comprised individuals who had become pregnant when they were still teenagers. Results of the study show that there is overwhelming disapproval of teenage pregnancy in the Mandela Park community. Results of this study also show that teenage pregnancy is still a problematic issue that needs to be addressed with immediate and appropriate intervention. The rising number of teenage pregnancies in the Mandela Park community of Mthatha was explored as possibly being a result of low socio-economic status and lack of sex education. The study, therefore, recommended that the government should allow children of any age to access contraceptives without parental consent. Furthermore, there is a need for regular safe-sex education in communities and schools, starting from the primary level.
