ABSTRACT
Due to spread and impact of COVID-19 in the world and Turkey lead to fear,
stress and anxiety in individuals. This trend is increasing more especially in pregnant
women at risk as they are concerned about the safety of themselves and the fetus.
In our study, concerns, problems and attitudes of pregnant women related to
diseases in the pandemic process will be determined by detailed discussions based on
their individual experience, and by increasing the awareness of midwives and nurses
about what pregnant women experience in this process.
Teenagers younger than 15 are five times more likely to die during pregnancy of
childbirth than women in their twenties and mortality rates for their infants are higher
as well. This study was therefore designed to determine the recent prevalence and
identify factors associated with teenage pregnancy. This study is an analytical
comparative cross-sectional study.

CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background of the study

As you all know we’re been suffering from this pandemic since early 2019,
this pandemic or virus is called COVID-19. COVID-19 has been affecting the lives
of many. In this research we will tackle some interacting factors in pandemic such
as increasing rate of teenage pregnancy during this time of the year.
In this time of the year it isn’t very easy to give birth to any hospital because
of the fear of the virus and these girls made it through such a difficult task to give
birth safety without the fear of getting the virus themselves and their offspring.
According to some research that the rate of teenage pregnancy during
pandemic is way higher before when the pandemic didn’t start yet. As we all know
Philippines is also one of the highest ranks in Asian countries when it comes to
teenage pregnancy. In this pandemic how is it possible that teens could get pregnant
during quarantine where everyone could not get out so easily? Furthermore in this
research we will know some of the factors of its case and the effects it would left in
the girls mind and also their families.
1.2 Theoretical framework
In the context of teenage pregnancy and its effects on health, Roy’s Adaptation
model, Ecological Theory, and Theory of Reasoned Action/Theory of Planned
Behavior model are suitable to fit in this framework of the study.

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
2.1 Related Literature
Medical and nonmedical studies of teenage pregnancy and its outcomes are reviewed,
and the state of our current knowledge is assessed. It is suggested that, while the typical
teenage girl is biologically ready for motherhood, a complex set of social and
psychological variables leads those least well-suited for the role into becoming teenage
parents. The effectiveness of special programs for pregnant adolescents and their
offspring is examined, and implications for policy and prevention are offered.
PIP: Literature on teenage pregnancy and motherhood was reviewed. Studies indicated
that the incidence of teenage pregnancy in the U.S. was high and that it was continually
increasing. Recent medical studies revealed that teenage pregnancy was associated with
a high rate of complications only if prenatal care and maternal diet were inadequate and
if the mother was less than 15 years of age. Investigators who have attempted to
identify the typical high pregnancy risk teenager have been unable to do so.
Approximately 1/3 of all teenage pregnancies were terminated by abortion. Teenagers
who had abortions tended to have higher educational and career goals and came from
higher socioeconomic classes than teenagers who choose to continue their pregnancies.
Teenagers who continued their pregnancies tended to come from less supportive
families. Many teenagers failed to use contraception because they thought it would
appear as if they were planning to engage in sexual behavior. A large proportion of
teenage males displayed little interest in providing pregnancy protection for their
girlfriends and assumed it was the girls problem if she became pregnant. Early child
bearing tended to reduce educational and job opportunities for most girls. Teenage girls
were less likely to give up their babies for adoption than in the past. Children raised by
teenage mothers, compared to those raised by adults, tended 1) to have a higher risk of
child abuse and 2) to develop at a slower rate both mentally and physically. Program
and policy implications of these findings were 1) sex education should be introduced at
an earlier grade level; 2) small discussion group teaching techniques should be used; 3)
parenting techniques should be taught in sex education programs; 4) contraceptives
should be made more readily available to teenagers; 5) male teenagers should be
encouraged to play a more active role in contraception; and 6) funding of preventive an
intervention programs must be increased.
2.2 Related Study
Warned of a possible increase in teen pregnancies in the Philippines during
the coronavirus pandemic and force teenage girls out of schools. Citing the projection
of the commission on Population and development (POPCOM), which saw unplanned
pregnancies soar amid the COVID-19 crisis, the senator noted similar trends on rising
unplanned pregnancies during natural calamities.(It was always been a challenge for us
to stop the rise in early pregnancies but because of COVID-19, more teenage girls are
in danger of becoming young mothers and may be forced out of school.)

According to the senator, this situation should prompt local government
units (LGUs) to ramp up their efforts to raise awareness about teenage pregnancy
through public health and population management programs.
He noted that according to the United Nations population Fund (UNFPA),
the factors of teenage pregnancy include lack of access to school, information, and
sexual and reproductive health care.

3.1 Research Design
This study made use of the correlational research design utilizing Survey
Questionnaire. This design is the most appropriate in describing the increase rate of
teenage pregnancy during this pandemic.
Correlational research is a type of non-experimental research in which the
researcher measures two variables and assesses the statistical relationship (i.e., the
correlation) between them with little or no effort to control extraneous variables.
Correlational research measures the relationship between two variables. Its
methods include surveys, observations and archival data analysis.

3.2 Subject of the study

on The Increase Rate of Teenage Pregnancy during this Pandemic of 6 respondents.
The questioner of the study are categorize into two parts; the profile of the respondents
that contributes to teenage girls who decide to terminate the pregnancy during this
pandemic. This questioner aims to give the important details and information about the
participants and a concrete answers that will support the studies.
3.5 Data Gathering Procedure
In this study it will elude and elicit numeral data from the respondents
through survey or questionnaire. It is a close ended question. Questionnaire was
personally distributed by the researchers to the selected teenage girls in barangay Las
Navas. The data was collected over a period of time (hour). The researchers roam to
house to house in order to distribute the questionnaire to the chosen respondents. When
a questionnaire is used as data gathering instruments, it is necessary to determine wither
Questions and directions are clear to subjects and wither they understand what is
