Review of Relevant Literature 

Teenage Pregnancy Study in the Philippines

According to the Philippine National Statistics Office, the rate of adolescent pregnancy in
the Philippines has increased by 60% between 2000 and 2010, Nursing Answers
(2018).One in ten young Filipino women age 15-19 has begun childbearing: 8 percent are
already mothers and another 2 percent are pregnant with their first child according to the
results of the 2013 National Demographic and Health Survey (NDHS, 2013). Teenage
pregnancy is common between the ages of 15 and 19 years old, when the girls are still in
school. Many student mothers have expressed feelings of guilt, worry, and inadequacy in
their roles as students and mothers, Thompson (2004). Mostly of teenage girls who got
pregnant are unplanned pregnancy, for instance, it's rape or having intercourse with their
partner without condoms. Some of them are single parents, their partner leaves them
because they cannot afford the finances and some don't want to accept their child. There is
now a return to school policy in place where a student is temporarily dismissed from school
due to a teenage pregnancy in order to continue their education (Okeyo, 2012). If the child
is old enough, and already has the capability to be left alone in their house, the women
must attend school again to enhance their knowledge about education and to provide for
their child after she attends school.
    Lack of parental care, no guidance and early relationships causes teenage pregnancy.
Early pregnancy depends on harmful and sociable people, many of whom are motivated by
friends and sometimes their own relationships. There are also teenagers who fall victim to
early pregnancy because their vulnerabilities are abused or exploited by an arid person.

Teenage Pregnancy Study in South Africa

According to this study, because of the dangers of teenage pregnancy, it is critical to have a
better understanding of social influences, self-efficacy, and communication with parents,
friends, and teachers. The goal of this study was to see how often teenage pregnancy
occurs among high school students in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, and to look at the
relationship between social influences, self-efficacy, and communication when it comes to
adolescent pregnancies. Grade 11 students from 20 randomly selected schools in two
districts filled out an anonymous questionnaire about sociodemographics, social influences,
self-efficacy, communication, and adolescent pregnancy. Age, being female, and being
exposed to pregnancy-dissuading communication were all associated with teen pregnancy.
Students who lived with both parents or whose family and peers thought adolescents should
abstain from sex or who faced positive social pressure discouraging pregnancy were less
likely to become pregnant. This study discovered sociodemographic and socio-behavioral
influences on adolescent pregnancy, which can help school nurses in their work.
