Teenage pregnancy outcomes have become an increasing concern in the United States. Education and support of pregnant teens are critical factors that may determine good or poor pregnancy outcomes. Poor outcomes may include low birth weight, developmental delays, and poor academic performance. Although the number of teenagers experiencing pregnancy and parenting has declined in the U.S., school-based health clinics can be used to provide support and guidance designed to avoid the negative outcomes associated with teenage pregnancy and parenting. By having school-based health clinics, nurse practitioners and school nurses can provide much needed services to pregnant and parenting teens. These services should include educational support, counseling, and community resources. This inquiry provides a metasynthesis of the literature and will review, examine, and summarize the literature relating to the effect of school-based clinics on teenage pregnancy and parenting outcomes.
青少年怀孕的结果在美国已成为一个日益受到关注的问题。对怀孕青少年的教育和支持是可能决定怀孕结果好坏的关键因素。不良结果可能包括低出生体重、发育迟缓以及学业成绩不佳。尽管美国经历怀孕和为人父母的青少年数量有所下降,但可以利用校内健康诊所来提供旨在避免与青少年怀孕和为人父母相关的负面结果的支持和指导。通过设立校内健康诊所,执业护士和学校护士可以为怀孕及为人父母的青少年提供急需的服务。这些服务应包括教育支持、咨询和社区资源。本探究对文献进行了元综合,将回顾、审视并总结与校内诊所对青少年怀孕和为人父母结果的影响相关的文献。
