    (Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2022-02-03) Vera Aylas, Erica Jasmín; Reyes Serrano, Bertha Nathaly
    Objective: To analyze the scientific studies related to early pregnancy and the level of knowledge about contraceptive methods in adolescents over the last 6 years. Materials and methods: A systematic observational and retrospective review was conducted on 55 national and international articles and scientific studies in all languages on the subject. The sample consisted of 37 articles that met the inclusion criteria, and the GRADE method was employed. Specialized search engines such as PubMed, Scielo, Google Scholar, Dialnet, Cochrane, Science Direct, and Alicia Concytec were used. Results: 27% (10) of the articles addressed the causes of early pregnancy, 27% (10) discussed the consequences of early pregnancy, 27% (10) focused on the level of knowledge regarding adolescents' attitudes toward contraceptive methods, and 19% (7) discussed the level of knowledge regarding the use of contraceptive methods in adolescents. Conclusions: In the variable causes of early pregnancy, the main factors were sociodemographic and economic factors, as well as access to healthcare services. The main consequences were school dropout and maternal-neonatal complications. In terms of knowledge, it was identified that older adolescents had greater knowledge and better attitudes toward contraceptive methods. Condoms were the most known and/or used method by adolescents.
