VELOZA MORALES, Martha cecilia. Family health in families with pregnant adolescents. av.enferm. [online]. 2012, vol.30, n.1, pp.75-81. ISSN 0121-4500.

The research was based on Marie Louise Friedemann's theory of systemic organization. This paper is purported to describe the level of family health of families with pregnant teenage daughters. Comparative cross-sectional descriptive study with a quantitative approach that assesses the level of family health of 100 families treated in two Health Provider Institutions (IPS) in Bogotá, Colombia. They were divided into two groups: the frst group was made up by the families with pregnant adolescents that showed signs of morbidity in the third quarter of the pregnancy and the second group was formed by the families with pregnant adolescents that showed no signs of morbidity. The ISF GES 19 instrument was used to gather data. This instrument was designed, implemented and tested by Dr. Pilar Amaya de Peña. An overview of family health levels was obtained and compared against the characteristics found in each group. In conclusion, families do not feel or perceive the risk to suffer or not from a pathology during the pregnancy, so therefore, it affects family health levels in no way, thus, considering family health as both healthy and satisfactory. An urge is made to create strategies aimed at decreasing health-related risks to which the families and teenage mothers are exposed.
