Abstract

Adolescent pregnancy is a major public health issue, with an estimated 12 million adolescent girls pregnant worldwide, and approximately 3.9 million pregnancies were aborted and unsafe childbirth that leads to death. The way to decrease that problem is encouraging the prevention of adolescent pregnancy.  This quasi-experimental study aimed to investigate the effect of a pregnancy prevention program by applying the concept of health literacy among secondary school female students in a school, Udonthani Province. The samples were 78 female secondary school students, divided into two groups; the experimental group (n=39) and the comparison group (n=39). The experimental group was given a pregnancy prevention program on risk factors for adolescent pregnancy that included a PowerPoint lecture, infographic, and YouTube; Practice searching for information on websites, using LINE OpenChat, analyzing problems, brainstorming and discussing groups on the worksheet, giving advice, cheering up, and encouraging through LINE OpenChat. This experiment lasted ten weeks in total.  Questionnaires were used to collect data, which were then analyzed using descriptive statistics. Paired Sample t-test statistics were used to compare mean score differences within the group, and between the groups used an independent sample t-test. The 95% confidence level was set (p<0.05).

            The results of the research found that the experimental group had mean access scores on risk factors for adolescent pregnancy, understanding risk factors for adolescent pregnancy, knowledge of adolescent pregnancy risk factors, adolescent pregnancy risk factor assessment decisions to prevent pregnancy, and the intention to prevent pregnancy among adolescents was significantly higher than before the trial and comparison group (p<0.001).
