PATIAS, Naiana Dapieve; GABRIEL, Marília Reginato  and  DIAS, Ana Cristina Garcia. The family as a risk factor and protection in situations of pregnancy and teenage motherhood. Estud. pesqui. psicol. [online]. 2013, vol.13, n.2, pp.586-610. ISSN 1808-4281.

This study sought to understand the family context, both as risk and protective factor in the situation of teenage pregnancy and motherhood. We conducted a systematic review of the literature on search engines Scielo and Pepsic, with descriptors family, adolescence, pregnancy, pregnancy, maternity, sexuality, vulnerability, risk and protection in the period 2000 to 2010. To analyze the material we used a thematic analysis. The results suggest that among the risk factors are: difficulties in family relationships, family history of repeated pregnancy, the occurrence of subsequent pregnancies during adolescence, lack or inadequacy of sexual orientation, amount of family support received, violent situations, beliefs and values about parenting, drug abuse. Among the protective factors found: good family relationships, support from family and positive impact arising from the pregnancy adolescent. These results are discussed from the procedural conception of risk / protection.

Keywords : Adolescence; Pregnancy; Maternity; Risk and protection; Family.
