Embarazo adolescente: Una mirada desde las representaciones sociales de los padres de familia/cuidadores

Abstract

The main objective of the present research was to identify the social representations that parents and caregivers have of adolescent pregnancy in the four communes of the city of Villavicencio Meta. The theory and the development of the work are related starting from the description, analysis and identification of the social representations from the meanings, subjectivity and intersubjectivity, in this way to understand how the subjects live this reality and the experiences they faced during that process. The methodology was qualitative with a hermeneutical epistemology. The participants were five mothers, a father and a caregiver, for a total of seven participants. The research strategies used were the semi-structured interview and the focus group, where an analysis was carried out starting from the transcription of the same and the coding, resulting in the understanding that social representations are constructed from their meanings , subjectivity and intersubjectivity, since parents have as a social representation that society is oblivious to the events that this problem brings and does not take into account the changes that arise at an emotional, social, economic and psychological level.
