Adölesan Babalık

Adölesan ebeveynlik; anne, baba, çocuk, aile ve toplum için geniş kapsamlı sonuçları olan ve çoğunlukla olumsuz problemlere rağmen günümüzde sıkça karşılaşılan bir durumdur. Son yıllarda adölesan gebelik, hem gelişmiş hem de gelişmekte olan birçok ülkede önemli bir sağlık sorunu ve sosyal kaygıdan ziyade endişe kaynağı haline gelmiştir. Literatürde ergen babalığın öncülleri ırk, bireysel ve ailesel etkiler olarak bildirilmiştir. Adölesanın hem kendisinin hem de çocuklarının sosyal gelişimlerini ve sağlıklarını genellikle olumsuz etkileyebilen bir durumdur. Yapılan çalışmalarda adölesan babanın okulu erken bırakma, eğitimsel ve mesleki engeller, düşük sosyoekonomik düzey, depresyon, kimlik çatışması gibi durumları yaşayabileceği, çocuklarının ise büyüme ve gelişmesinin olumsuz etkilenebileceği açıkça ifade edilmiştir. Son yıllarda adölesan gebelik ve annelik üzerine yapılan çalışmaların sayısının giderek artmasına rağmen adölesan babaların sorumlulukları, baba ve çocuk üzerine etkilerini değerlendiren makaleler oldukça sınırlıdır. Bu derlemede adölesan babalık kavramına, öncüllerine, adölesan babalığın adölesanın hem kendisi ve hem de çocuğu üzerine etkilerine dikkat çekmek amaçlanmıştır.

Adolescent Fatherhood

Adolescent parenting is a situation which has a wide range of consequences for mother, father, child, family, and society and is frequently encountered today, although problems arise most of the time. In recent years, adolescent pregnancy has become a significant health problem and a source of anxiety rather than a social concern in both developed and developing countries. In the literature, the causes of adolescent fatherhood have been reported as race, individual, and familial effects. It is a situation that can adversely influence the social development and health of both the adolescent and his children. In evidence-based studies, it has been stated clearly that the adolescent father may leave his education early, face educational and professional obstacles, and suffer from a low socio-economic level, depression, and identity conflict, while the growth and development of his children may be affected adversely. Despite the increasing number of studies on adolescent pregnancy and motherhood in recent years, the number of articles evaluating adolescent fathers' responsibilities and their effects on the father and the child is quite limited. In this review, it was aimed to attract attention to the concept of adolescent fatherhood, its causes, and the effects of adolescent fatherhood on both the adolescent and his child.
