Teenage pregnancy remains a global problem because of its consequences for the teenager, her child, her family, and society. In Haiti, this type of pregnancy burdens the family economy. In addition, the adolescent fertility rate is still high, despite efforts to reduce it. This article aims to analyze the perception and experiential experience of relatives of pregnant adolescents in Haiti. A qualitative study design based on Dewey's social survey was conducted. Data were collected from 17 relatives (partners, parents, guardians, and others) of pregnant adolescents in Haiti's North and Northeast departments. These data were analyzed using thematic analysis. According to the results, teenage pregnancy is seen as a disaster or a social problem in Haiti. It leads to many psychosocial and economic difficulties for the relatives, who are the only source of economic and social support for pregnant adolescents. Considering the vulnerability of relatives, policies, and interventions aimed at reducing the negative consequences of teenage pregnancy should consider this group of individuals.
青少年怀孕仍然是一个全球性问题，因为它会给青少年本人、其子女、家庭和社会带来后果。在海地，这类怀孕给家庭经济带来负担。此外，尽管做出了降低青少年生育率的努力，但青少年生育率仍然很高。本文旨在分析海地怀孕青少年亲属的认知和经历体验。基于杜威社会调查开展了一项定性研究设计。从海地北部和东北部省份的17名怀孕青少年亲属（伴侣、父母、监护人及其他人员）处收集了数据。这些数据采用主题分析法进行了分析。结果显示，在海地，青少年怀孕被视为一场灾难或一个社会问题。这给亲属带来了诸多心理社会和经济困难，而亲属是怀孕青少年唯一的经济和社会支持来源。鉴于亲属的脆弱性，旨在减少青少年怀孕负面影响的政策和干预措施应考虑到这一群体。
