Abstract

Back ground: For many women and girls the classroom is the first and perhaps only setting in which they perform as individual rather than as member of particular family and the school serves not only as a source of new knowledge but as a source of new knowledge about themselves as well.
Objective: To know the literacy status of women and their husbands and impact of literacy status on teen age pregnancy.
Materials and methods: Two hundred and nine teen age women delivered in the tertiary care hospital were taken as sample. Educational status of these sampled and their husband was enquired and interpretation were drawn
Statistical analysis: Express in simple terma of proportion.
Observations and discussion: Only 22.96 percent husband were illiterate in comparisons their 40.66 percent wives. None of these sampled women studied in college.
Conclusions and recommendations: Education is a driving force for better health. Teen-age pregnancy is a feature of lack of choice and self determinations in women's life. Education has a dramatic impact on this picture. Hence education of girls must be made an integral part of education policy.

Results: The gynecological morbidity was found to be more in women using invasive method of family planning both in urban (84.1%) as well as rural area( 92.53 %). The association between use of invasive FP method and presence of gynecological morbidity was found to be statistically significant in urban area (X² = 14.49, DF=1, P<0.001) and also in rural area(X²=16.04, DF=1, P<0.01).

Abnormal presentation was noted in 03.35% cases. The complications in teenage pregnancy were found to more in rural in comparison to mothers of urban areas. Thus, the authors reached to the conclusion that more than 50 percent of teenage mothers were found suffering from Anemia, which is a preventable condition by just consuming right kind of food; hence, there is a great need for nutrition education.

Abstract

Background: In any community, teen age pregnancy is associated with culture of poverty and deprivation. Teen age mother hood is a problem of all segments of society.
Objective: To know the association of socio economic status and teen age mothers if any.
Material and methods: Two hundred and nine teen age women who delivered in a tertiary care hospital taken as sample. Socio economic status decided by modified B.G. Prasad's classification.
Findings: More than 90 % women belong to Lower middle and upper middle class. There was not a single case from Upper class.
Conclusion and recommendations: In the lower socio economic group daughters are considered as transitory members of family and financial burden on family, so they marry their daughters as early as possible to get free from this burden. The phenomenon of early marriage is highly related to schooling of girls hence authors suggest that irrespective of caste, religion, socio economic status, each girl must be given fees free education to the highest level including medical and technical etc.
