Among the participants, 193 had fewer than six prenatal check-ups, while only 75 had six or more, which is the minimum required to consider a pregnancy adequately monitored. Regarding knowledge, over 60% of the participants demonstrated very good knowledge about prenatal examinations, nutrition, relaxation exercises (psychoprophylaxis), warning signs, and complications. Concerning attitudes, more than 45% fully agreed on aspects such as perceived beliefs, perceived benefits, perceived barriers, and cues to action.

(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 1905-07-05) Osorio Yllaconza, Jhoanna Michell; Mucha León, Lady Giuliana; Arispe Alburqueque, Claudia Milagros
Objectives: To determine the prevalence and risk factors associated with physical and psychological violence in pregnant adolescents and adults attending Hospital San José in 2013. Materials and Methods: Causal explanatory cross-sectional study. The survey technique was used, and the instrument was the questionnaire developed by Blitchtein and Reyes (2012). The sample consisted of 140 pregnant women, of whom 70 were adolescents and 70 were adults. Results: The prevalence of violence among pregnant women was 52.9%. Pregnant adolescents with experiences of violence accounted for 41.9%, while adult pregnant women accounted for 58.1%. The risk factors most strongly associated were being a housewife (p > 0.032) and having a partner who controls and/or limits the woman’s work, studies, and visits to family or friends (p > 0.044). Other associated factors included a history of parental aggression (p > 0.0121) and the type of relationship with the partner (p > 0.0239). Conclusions: The prevalence of physical and psychological violence was higher among adult pregnant women. Risk factors include sociodemographic aspects, individual factors, and relationships with partners, which are linked to physical and psychological violence in both adolescent and adult pregnant women. These aspects require a collective effort to address them with professionalism and social responsibility.

The present research was conducted at the San Juan de Lurigancho Hospital with the objective of determining the influence of "Obstetric Psychoprophylaxis on Attitude During the Active Phase of Labor in Adolescent Primiparous Women at the San Juan de Lurigancho Hospital in 2014." Materials and Methods: This is a descriptive, observational, and cross-sectional study conducted with a population of 122 pregnant women. The influence of obstetric psychoprophylaxis on the attitude of pregnant women during the active phase of labor was compared between 54 women who received obstetric psychoprophylaxis and the group that did not. The instrument used for evaluation was a validated test to assess attitude during labor. Results: Of the participants who received preparation, 72% demonstrated good relaxation, while 96% of the group without psychoprophylaxis did not achieve good relaxation. Moreover, 80% of pregnant women with psychoprophylaxis breathed properly, compared to 94% of the group without preparation, who did not breathe properly. Additionally, 93% of the group with preparation identified and managed contractions, unlike the group without preparation, where only 28% identified and managed contractions. Among those prepared, only 20% required the presence of a person during labor, compared to 97% of the unprepared group who required someone by their side. Conclusion: Psychoprophylactic preparation significantly influences the attitude of adolescent pregnant women during the active phase of labor. Keywords: Obstetric psychoprophylaxis, active phase of labor, attitude.

(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 1905-07-07) Maguiña Abad, Katherin Mercedes; Vergaray Matos, Ruth Noemi; Ayala Mendivil, Ronald Espiritu
Background: Understanding the level of knowledge and attitudes toward contraceptive methods. Several studies have observed that adolescents possess knowledge about contraception issues, but this knowledge is incomplete or incorrect. Over the years, teenage pregnancy rates have also varied and increased. This information demonstrates a clear need to provide counseling and guidance services through Reproductive Health and Family Planning for this human group. Objectives: To determine the level of knowledge and attitudes toward contraceptive methods in adolescents from the Educational Institution Nº. 5127 Mártir José Olaya, located in AA.HH. José Olaya - Pachacutec. Methodology: The study is descriptive and cross-sectional. The study population consists of a total of 219 third, fourth, and fifth-year secondary school students from I.E. Mártir José Olaya. The instrument used is a questionnaire survey to assess attitudes and knowledge about the use of contraceptive methods, which will be frequently applied to adolescents attending the institution. The survey consists of three parts: General information: (03 items). Level of knowledge: (8 items). Level of attitudes: (8 items). The corresponding results will be processed. Results: The applied survey determined that secondary school students from I.E. have a low level of knowledge, with attitudes toward risk situations that hinder their psychosocial development. Adolescents reported that having a child at an early age primarily means taking on more responsibility and maturity in this new stage of their lives.

However, there was a shift from neutral attitudes to favorable and highly favorable attitudes in 42% of the participants. Conclusions: The Educational Program "Sexual Education and Healthy Communities" is effective (Student's t-test: t(413) = 8.798, p = .038 and t(434) = 2.682, p < .001) as it led to an increase in the level of knowledge and changes in favorable attitudes.
