Abstract
Determinar la influencia de las relaciones familiares sobre el aborto provocado en adolescentes. Estudio de casos y controles; los casos fueron 58 adolescentes con aborto provocado que acudieron al
Hospital Regional Docente de Trujillo, por hemorragia, y el grupo control fueron 58 adolescentes pareadas según edad
de la paciente, edad gestacional y nivel socioeconómico, que continuaron con el embarazo y acudieron al control prenatal en el mismo hospital. Sólo 20% de los casos comunicó a sus padres sobre el embarazo, a diferencia
del 62% de los controles (p<0,001), la falta de confianza hacia los padres estuvo asociada con el aborto provocado
(OR: 4,5; IC95: 1,7-12,3), no se encontró asociación con el antecedente familiar de aborto o con la violencia intrafamiliar. Las reacciones negativas (violencia, retirar a la afectada de los estudios o hacerla trabajar) de los padres ante la
noticia del aborto fueron más frecuentes en el grupo con aborto (OR: 14,1; IC95: 3,9-50,9); así como la presentación
de molestias y discusiones entre los miembros de las familias de los casos (OR: 23,9; IC95: 12,4-208,7). La comunicación y el nivel de confianza con los padres, así como reacciones negativas ante la noticia del embarazo
están fuertemente relacionados con el aborto provocado, en las adolescentes de Trujillo
To determine the influence of family relationships on induced abortion in teenagers. Materials and methods: Case control study. Cases were 58 teenagers with induced abortion who came to the Regional Teaching Hospital in Trujillo because of vaginal hemorrhage, and controls were 58 teenagers paired according to age, gestational age, and socioeconomic status, who continued their pregnancies and attended prenatal care in the same hospital. Only 20% of cases told their parents about being pregnant, compared to 62% of controls (p<0,001); lack of confidence in parents was associated with induced abortion (odds ratio [OR] and 95% confidence interval 4,5[1,7-12,3]), and there was no association with family history of abortion or with violence within the family. Negative reactions from parents (violence, taking the girl out of school or making her go to work) were more frequent in teenagers undergoing induced abortion (OR: 14,1 [3,9-50,9]); as well as a history of having bad times and rude discussions within the household (OR: 23,9 [12,4-208,7). Communication and confidence with parents, as well as negative reactions when learning that a teenager is pregnant, are strongly related with induced abortions in Trujillo.
