Evaluation of records on the adolescent pregnancy card and satisfaction with the pre-natal consultation

Abstract: 

This is an evaluative study that aimed to evaluate the records of prenatal care in the adolescent pregnancy card and the degree of satisfaction of pregnant adolescent women with prenatal consultation. The sample consisted of 70 pregnant adolescents in a municipality in the Southern state of Piauí. Data were collected in the households through a form, from November to December 2014. Data were analyzed in the Statistical Package for the Social Science version 22. The results were arranged in illustrative tables and graphs. It was found that no card had the degree of completion considered as “excellent.” The majority of cards had an absence of records with a percentage of completeness considered as “bad” (45.7%) and “very bad” (47.1%). However, pregnant adolescents were satisfied with the ease of accessibility to consultations (60%), waiting room time (40%), and attention to complaints (63%). They had a good impression of the procedures performed during the consultation (70%), and perceived trust from health professionals (63%). Participants were also satisfied with the explanations of the health professional (60%) and scheduling for consultations (56%). None of the adolescent pregnancy card had complete information; however, pregnant adolescent women reported overall satisfaction with prenatal consultations.
