摘要

背景:南非卫生部报告称,2021 年 3 月至 2022 年 4 月期间,各省区共有 90 037 名年龄在 10 岁至 19 岁之间的少女分娩,这一数字令人震惊。少女怀孕率的上升令人严重关切,因为少女更有可能经历难产和分娩,这可能会对她们的健康造成不利影响:本研究旨在探讨和描述导致林波波省 Sekhukhune 地区少女怀孕率上升的因素:研究在 Sekhukhune 地区的医疗机构进行。研究采用了定性和探索性设计。有目的性地挑选参与者,通过面对面的个别访谈收集数据。数据分析采用了特施归纳描述性编码法:结果:疏忽、同伴压力、模糊性、选择、不使用避孕药具和缺乏家庭依恋被认为是导致该地区少女怀孕人数激增的因素:结论:要减少少女怀孕,关键是要推广避孕措施,加强学校与政府之间的合作,让家庭参与性与生殖健康讨论,优先考虑有利的家庭环境,倡导儿童抚养补助金,振兴学校卫生服务,增强青少年做出明智选择和抵制同伴压力的能力:这项研究将为政策制定者和其他利益相关者提供指导,帮助他们制定适当的计划来解决这一问题,并改善农村地区青少年的健康状况和社会经济地位。这将减少与并发症和早产相关的医疗费用。

Background: The Department of Health in South Africa has reported an alarming total of 90 037 teenage girls between the ages of 10 years and 19 years who gave birth from March 2021 to April 2022, across all provinces and districts. The rise in teenage pregnancy is of serious concern as adolescents girls are more likely to experience difficult pregnancies and deliveries which could lead to detrimental effects on their health.Objectives: The study aimed to explore and describe factors contributing to the increase in teenage pregnancy in the Sekhukhune district of Limpopo.Method: The study was conducted in the healthcare facilities of Sekhukhune area. A qualitative, exploratory design was followed. Participants were purposively selected, and data were gathered through face-to-face individual interviews. Data analysis employed Tesch’s inductive, descriptive coding method.Results: Negligence, peer pressure, ambiguity, choice, lack of contraceptive use, and lack of family attachment were identified as exacerbating factors in the district’s surge in teenage pregnancy.Conclusion: To reduce teen pregnancy, it is crucial to promote contraception, enhance cooperation between schools and the government, involve families in sexual and reproductive health discussions, prioritise a supportive home environment, advocate for child support grants, revitalise school health services, and empower teenagers to make informed choices and resist peer pressure.Contribution: The study will provide guidance to policy makers and other stakeholders in developing appropriate programmes to address the problem and improve the health and socioeconomic status of adolescents in rural areas. This will reduce healthcare costs associated with complications and premature birth.
