Abstract

Objective: To report the experience of a project of a tutorial education program (PET-Nursing) with the aim of promoting health among adolescents and preventing teenage pregnancy in the eastern region of Mato Grosso do Sul. Experience report: This is the report of a project aimed at 59 adolescents aged 13 years or older. Six meetings were held once a week in a public school, during the months of August and September 2019. The project used several playful and dynamic techniques to instruct and convey information about puberty, body hygiene, prevention of Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs), future projections, teenage pregnancy, contraceptive methods, among others. Final considerations: Through the execution of the project, it was possible to disseminate information on promoting the health of adolescents and professionally instruct ways to prevent teenage pregnancy. In addition, there was an exchange of knowledge and life experiences between students, parents and nursing students.
