Sumario: | OBJECTIVE: To systematize good prenatal care practices in a referral center for pregnant teenagers in Campinas, São Paulo, Brazil, from the perspective of healthcare professionals. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Qualitative study conducted between June and July 2017 using semi-structured interviews and a focus group with 10 healthcare professionals providing care to pregnant teenagers in a public hospital in the region of Campinas, São Paulo, Brazil. Data were examined using the thematic content analysis technique, which gave rise to new analytical categories. Triangulation of the results was used for validation. The theoretical and practical applicability of the main findings was identified. RESULTS: The study looked into three categories arising from the discourse of the professionals and the evidence found in the literature: 1) comprehensive analysis of pregnant teenagers; 2) professional experiences related to the care of pregnant teenagers reflecting service quality; and 3) strengths and improvement opportunities potentially replicable as a care model. Good practices in prenatal care are those which prioritize comprehensive care for pregnant teenagers, are coordinated by a multidisciplinary team and result in a multidimensional approach, valuing the complexity of motherhood in the teenage years. CONCLUSION: It is advisable to develop education strategies, strengthen group care and involve the teenager's support network as part of sexual and reproductive health services in order to promote a positive experience during prenatal care when the process of becoming a mother takes place during adolescence. |
