Resumen
El embarazo adolescente es una problemática que se ha buscado erradicar a nivel mundial, principalmente en el Ecuador. Sin embargo, cabe realizar un enfoque desde el punto de la pandemia por la COVID-19 ya que debido al confinamiento se sumaron nuevos factores que involucran este problema, factores como son a nivel de salud pública la restricción de consultas médicas, falta de personal de salud, el cierre de establecimientos de primer nivel, la exposición al virus del SARS-CoV-2, y también situaciones familiares y psicosociales como la falta de empleo, afectación de la condición económica, violencia intrafamiliar, abuso sexual, depresión, ansiedad, miedo y entre otras situaciones que pueden llegar a afectar la salud mental. La adolescencia equivale a riesgo obstétrico en el embarazo ya que puede conllevar al desarrollo de varias patologías, no solo por su situación fisiopatológica sino también por la carencia de madurez en la toma de decisiones.
Palabras Claves: embarazo, adolescencia, COVID-19
Teenage pregnancy is a problem that has been sought to eradicate worldwide, mainly in Ecuador. However, it is possible to take an approach from the point of view of the COVID-19 pandemic, since due to confinement new factors were added that involve this problem, factors such as the restriction of medical consultations, lack of health, the closure of first-level establishments, exposure to the SARS-CoV-2 virus, and also family and psychosocial situations such as lack of employment, impact on economic status, domestic violence, sexual abuse, depression, anxiety, fear and among other situations that can affect mental health. Adolescence is equivalent to obstetric risk in pregnancy since it can lead to the development of several pathologies, not only due to its pathophysiological situation but also due to the lack of maturity in decision-making. Keywords: pregnancy, adolescence, COVID-19.
