RESUMO

The goal of this study was to know and understand how the perception adolescents have of the recurring parenthood during adolescence was constituted. To comprehend the meaning of this experience and the relation with their life projects the qualitative method was used, focusing the social phenomenology. Fifteen interviews were carried out with five fathers and ten mothers who had experienced the recurring parenthood as an unveiling strategy of the phenomenon, using the following directive questions: How did you feel becoming a first-time mother/father? How did the birth of another child take place? How does it feel to be a mother/father more than once, still being an adolescent? What do you expect of the future, being such a young mother/father? Five concrete categories of the experienced surfaced from the subjectsstatements: Contextualizing the perception about being an adolescent mother/father – with two subcategories: being a first-time parent and being a parent more than once; Experiencing losses; Experiencing gains – with two subcategories: feeling more mature/responsible and expressing satisfaction with parenthood; Seeking safety for the future; and Experiencing an ambivalent situation. The study allowed the understanding that recurring adolescent parenthood is a complex, multi-faceted phenomenon, with endless perceptive possibilities, of which the diverse experiences depend on the social context that defines wishes, projects, possibilities and meanings through the distinct social classes. Based on this understanding during a face-to-face relationship of intersubjectivity, respecting the adolescentssingularity, the nurse plays a very important role as regards assisting/taking care of this clientele, centered on the human/assisting dimension.
