摘要：The adolescence is a human development time characterized by
biopsychosocial changes, influenced by personal life experiences.
In this context pregnancy along adolescence has been regarded as
a relevant social issue due to the high prevalence in this age group.
This study aims to describe biopsychosocial characteristics of
adolescent mothers in a school hospital (SH) of a public university
in Minas Gerais, Brazil. This is a cross-sectional descriptive study
with 40 adolescent mothers in this hospital. Data were collected
through a form and analyzed using descriptive statistics. The data
in this study were similar to findings in studies conducted in other
urban centers especially as regards the participants¡¯ average age
and the precarious economic condition of their families and school
performance. The data analysis has highlighted the need to
understand teenage pregnancy as an experience with different
factors as biological, psychological, economic and social
development.
