Planned teenage parenthood or ambiv

Planned teenage parenthood or ambivalence towards parenthood
is an aspect of teenage pregnancy that is largely ignored in
academia, politics and nursing. This article seeks to highlight the
existence of young people with pregnancy intention and potential
barriers that may prevent these young people from being identified
in practice. Reference is made to Solent Healthcare’s pilot of a brief
intervention tool that targets young people with pregnancy intention.
The social context of teenage pregnancy is explored, as this may
influence school nurses’ attitudes to teenage pregnancy. School
nurses are encouraged to critically reflect on their perceptions of
teenage parenting
