- Abstract
Objective: to determine the profile of pregnancies and prevalence of adherence to puerperal consultation among adolescent puerperal women compared to non-adolescent puerperal women served in an outpatient clinic of a teaching hospital in the rural area of Minas Gerais. Method: cross-sectional study nested in a cohort of puerperal women; non-probabilistic sample, by convenience; adolescent pregnancy -- dependent variable; sociodemographic, clinical and obstetric -- independent variables. It employed its own instrument, tested by means of a pilot test. Prevalence ratios and confidence intervals were calculated; chi-square and Fisher's exact tests were applied, considering a significance level of 5%, and Poisson regression with robust variance. Results: we interviewed 121 puerperal women, of which 18.2% (22) were adolescents, and observed among them low educational level (p<0.001); fewer pregnancies with pathologies (p=0.016); predominance of primiparous women (p<0.001), and higher rates of normal delivery (p=0.032). The prevalence of adherence to puerperal consultation was 34.7% and 31.8% for adolescents. There were no differences regarding adherence and age of puerperal women. Conclusion: adolescents did not present negative obstetric and neonatal outcomes, although a lower educational level was observed. Association was found between early age and absence of diseases during pregnancy and higher rates of normal vaginal deliveries. Adherence to puerperal return visit was slightly lower, but without statistical significance.
