Adolescent Pregnancy And Syrian Refugees
The birth rate among Turkish adolescents and young adults (ages 15–19) fell to 17 births per 1,000 women in 2019. Despite this, Turkey still has a higher rate of adolescent pregnancy than the rest of the developed world and most of Europe. Ethnic variations, educational levels, traditions, and customs, as well as the forced movement of Syrian refugees into our nation, all contribute to the high occurrence of adolescent pregnancy. Adolescent pregnancies are an important problem considering their health and social consequences. The significant increase in cesarean section rates associated with preterm birth, low birth weight, preeclampsia, cephalopelvic disproportion (CPD), and acute fetal distress (AFD) in adolescent pregnancies indicates that these pregnant women face an increased risk of maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality. Research and projects should be carried out to identify and solve the reproductive health problems of adolescence, and solution proposals should be developed under these results. National health policies should be in place to deal with adolescent pregnancies and their negative effects.
