Abstract
El objetivo de la investigación fue determinar la relación entre el nivel de conocimiento y la práctica de autocuidado en la prevención del embarazo en adolescentes de la comunidad San Andrés, río Itaya, Iquitos, 2024. El estudio se desarrolló bajo un enfoque cuantitativo, con diseño descriptivo, correlacional y de corte transversal. La población estuvo conformada por 129 adolescentes de 10 a 19 años. En cuanto a los resultados, se observó que, del total de adolescentes, 45 (34,9%) presentan un nivel de conocimiento alto, 63 (48,8%) un nivel de conocimiento medio y 21 (16,3%) un nivel de conocimiento bajo. Por otro lado, 90 (69,8%) presentan una práctica de autocuidado adecuado y 39 (30,2%) una práctica de autocuidado inadecuado. Asimismo, el coeficiente Tau-b de Kendall evidenció un valor de significación de p = 0,000 < 0,05, lo que indica la existencia de una relación estadísticamente significativa entre el nivel de conocimiento y la práctica de autocuidado en la prevención del embarazo en adolescentes. En conclusión, el nivel de conocimiento se relaciona significativamente con la práctica de autocuidado en la prevención del embarazo en adolescentes de la comunidad San Andrés, río Itaya, Iquitos, 2024.
