摘要

撒哈拉以南非洲是世界上青少年怀孕率最高的地区,估计流行率为19.3%。在许多撒哈拉以南非洲国家,少女怀孕被视为一项公共卫生挑战,已被列入政策议程,但其对心理健康的影响虽然严重,却未在政策领域得到相应的重视。这与社会文化规范和耻辱感不无关系,不仅与心理健康有关,还与少女怀孕有关。同样,成年产妇的心理健康虽然经常被忽视,但也越来越受到关注。但是,怀孕的青少年往往不是现有心理健康干预措施的重点,尽管她们更容易受到同样的病理生理压力因素的影响,同时也更容易受到极端的社会文化和经济压力因素的影响。在这一观点中,我们认为,优先考虑青少年母亲的心理健康在撒哈拉以南非洲至关重要。我们还提出重要建议,确保怀孕少女获得她们所需的心理健康服务和支持。

Prioritizing the mental health needs of pregnant adolescents in sub-Saharan Africa
Sub-Saharan Africa has the highest rate of adolescent pregnancy in the world, with an estimated prevalence of 19.3%. Whereas adolescent pregnancy is considered on the policy agenda as a public health challenge in many sub-Saharan African countries, the mental health impact, although dire, has not received commensurate attention in the policy space. This is not unconnected with sociocultural norms and stigma associated, not just with mental health, but with teenage pregnancy as well. Similarly, adult maternal mental health, though often relegated, has been receiving increasing attention. But pregnant teenagers are often not the focus of available mental health interventions, even though they are more vulnerable to the same pathophysiological stressors, as well as being uniquely exposed to extreme sociocultural and economic stressors. In this viewpoint, we argue that prioritizing the mental health of adolescent mothers is critical in sub-Saharan Africa. We also make important recommendations to ensure that pregnant adolescents receive the mental health services and support they need.
