Abstract

Background: Teenage pregnancy is associated with significant risks for both the mother and infant, particularly in developing countries like Egypt. Aim : This study aimed to assess the maternal and neonatal outcomes of teenage pregnancy at El-Fayoum University Hospital.

Design: A descriptive study design was employed for this research. Setting: The study was conducted at the postpartum ward of the obstetric department at El-Fayoum University Hospital. Sample: The sample consisted of 100 teenage mothers in the postpartum period, selected through purposive sampling. Tools: Three tools were utilized to collect data for the study: (1) Structured Interviewing Questionnaire, (2) Assessment of Maternal and Neonatal Outcomes and (3) Attitude Likert Rating Scale. Results: The findings of the study indicated that over half of the teenage mothers and their infants experienced significant complications. These complications included anemia, obstructed labor, preterm labor, abortions, stillbirth, breastfeeding problems, hyperbilirubinemia, respiratory distress syndrome (RDS), and low birth weight (LBW). Additionally, the majority of the teenage mothers held a positive attitude regarding the causes and consequences of teenage pregnancy Conclusion: Pregnancy occurring before the age of 20 is considered a high-risk pregnancy and is associated with unfavorable outcomes for both the mother and infant. Recommendation: It is recommended to implement regulatory health education programs targeting youth and their parents, focusing on the psychological, social, and medical hazards of early marriage and early pregnancy.
