NURSING'S ROLE IN CONTRACEPTION AMONG ADOLESCENTS
Keywords:
contraception, adolescents, role of nursingAbstract
Although the global teenage pregnancy rate is decreasing, in Thailand, adolescents are engaging in sexual behavior at an earlier age, and many of them have more than one sexual partner. The lack of sufficient knowledge to prevent pregnancy may lead to unintended pregnancies, abortions, and sexually transmitted diseases. The use of effective contraception methods is, therefore, fundamental to preventing teenage pregnancy. Thailand is guided by the National Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention and Solution 2017–2026 policy, where nurses play a crucial role in its implementation. Their responsibilities include increasing knowledge, providing counseling for teenagers, and assisting them in choosing a suitable birth control method. Therefore, nurses must have updated knowledge about contraception to keep pace with current changes, enabling them to practice nursing effectively and increase birth control rates among teenagers engaging in risky sexual behavior. This ensures that teenagers have access to accurate and appropriate birth control methods.
