Summary: | In order to compare the care practices that a group of pregnant women exercise in respect of themselves and their unborn child of a group of adolescent pregnant girls andanother of adult pregnant women who attended prenatal check ups in Sincelejo during the months of July and September of 2006, a descriptive, quantitative and transversal study was developed, with a sample of 97 adolescent pregnant girls between 15 and 19 years and of 153 adult pregnant women between 20 and 45 years of age, without associated pathologies, to whom an instrument on care practices was applied which is validated by the National University of Colombia in Bogotá. These practices were classified as good, average and poor in the two groups to establish the quantitative comparison thereof. The main results were: differences statistically significant in the dimensions of prenatal stimulation, hygiene and personal care, food and non-healthy substances; in these four dimensions the result of good practices was more favorable for the adult pregnant women; There was not a significant difference in the dimensions of exercise and rest and support systems. The majority of the adult pregnant women (81,7%) carried out household activities that caused them tiredness; 23,53% did not carry out any recreational activities; 25,77% of the adolescent pregnant girls and 41,18% of the adult pregnant women consumed diary foods. 19,59% of the adolescent pregnant women and 6,54% of the adult ones did not avoid alcohol consumption and 4,12% of the adolescent pregnant womenand 0,65%ofthe adultpregnantwomen had consumed psychoactive substances. Adolescents (68,04%) as well as adults (52,29%) would carry out practices of prenatal stimulation classified as regular. Only 31,37% of the adult pregnant women and 21,65% of the adolescent pregnant girls had adequate prenatal stimulation practices. |
