Abstract

The following document was proposed with the intention of analyzing the results of the psychological project for the prevention of adolescent pregnancy. The high rate of early pregnancies and the lack of preventive programs, reflected in the Misereor Basic Hospital, from the diagnosis, influenced the implementation of an intervention project. This has allowed working with 32 women aged 12-19, in the company of their parents from the Shuar Pumpuis Center during the year 2021. For the analysis of the experience, authors who have studied the age group are used: Dolto, 1990; Castrillón, 2010, among others, which encourage adequate reflection on this experience. As an indicator, it was proposed that at the end of the third month, 50% of the adolescents enjoyed family inclusion with adequate sexual education. Although the result of the intervention was positive, it did not reach the percentage, due to the absence of many parents. At the end of the project, at least 60% of families and adolescents obtained knowledge about sexual and reproductive rights, it had a variation, due to the absence of some adolescents and their parents and 50% of parents and adolescents strengthened affective ties. The systematization carried out validates the participatory methodology in the workshops. The reduction of cases of early pregnancies in the population studied was confirmed; during the last two months after the intervention: according to data provided by the former director of the health center.
