Abstract
Objective
To assess the effect of online educational intervention on pregnant adolescents’ quality of life.
Methods
This is a quasi-experimental study, of the pre- and post-test single group type, carried out in the Basic Health Units of Teresina, from October 2017 to January 2018. A sample of 35 pregnant adolescents was obtained by convenience. Quality of life was assessed using the Ferrans & Powers Quality of Life Instrument. For scores with normal distribution, Student’s t-test was performed, and for those with non-parametric distribution, the Wilcoxon test was used and the significance level adopted was α=0.05.
Results
After the online educational intervention, there was an improvement in the total quality of life (p<0.001) and in health/functioning (p<0.001), socioeconomic (p<0.001) and psychological/spiritual (p<0.001) domains, except in the family domain.
Conclusion
The online educational intervention had an effect on quality of life, allowing it to be incorporated into the health education process with pregnant adolescents in Primary Health Care.
