Abstract

Adolescent pregnancy, also known as early pregnancy, occurs in the early stages of human development, from puberty onwards is when the physical and biological change that transforms a girl into an adult capable of reproduction begins. During this process also takes place the experience of feeling hormonal and anatomical changes that allow sexual maturation. It is important to note that adolescent pregnancies are often considered unplanned due to several factors such as, practice of sexual intercourse without adequate protection, or misinformation about sexuality The following work was carried out in the Bolivar Rizzo neighborhood in the canton of El Guabo. In which the topic of Social Worker Intervention in cases of teenage pregnancy was addressed, working with a representative sample of 45 adolescents, applying the appropriate techniques and tools of direct intervention between the object and the subject of study for this research work. We must consider that in our country there is a high rate of teenage pregnancies which is a social and alarming problem in Ecuador. Since, 2 out of 10 women are in a state of gestation which produces health, social and economic risks. Therefore, it directly affects the welfare and quality of life of adolescents and their environment. It should be noted that, within the social problems, there are many reasons why adolescents become pregnant at an early age and these could be disorientation, poorfamily relationships, negligence on the part of parents or caregivers, incorrect use of contraceptive methods, low educational level, abandonment, among others, which means that when adolescents become pregnant, they face a number of challenges.
