Adolescence is characterized by a period of transition between childhood and adulthood,
marked by physical, emotional, mental, sexual and social changes, identified as a period of
greater vulnerability, due to the occurrence of intense and rapid changes. Teenage pregnancy is
usually linked to the risk of miscarriage. Pregnancy leads the adolescent to experience a
reorganization of her identity as an individual, allowing a broader look in relation to the context
of her life, as an internal analysis, since the psychological experience facing abortion is not
uniform, varies depending on the characteristics personal events, events that are associated with
pregnancy, the circumstances of your life at the time of abortion, predisposing you to
biopsychosocial risks, which makes it a public health problem. The aim of this research was:
To know protective and risk factors present in the context of adolescents who suffered abortion
and were treated at a specialized health service in the city of Gurupi - TO. For data collection,
a semi-structured interview was used, elaborated by the author based on the theoretical
framework established and analyzed from the perspective of Bardin's content analysis. Two
interviews were conducted with adolescents who had undergone the abortion process at the
Gurupi-TO Regional Hospital, the first interview being held between 5 to 7 days and the second
30 days after the event. Through this study it was possible to identify age and educational level
as risk factors, with family support and religious belief as protective factors that enable the
adolescent's psychological adaptation favoring her resilience to the abortion process. It was
observed that previous history and family support are essential tools for a positive resolution of
the whole process, mitigating the risk of emotional sequelae.
