Psychosocial factors that influence unplanned pregnancies. Case, students of the Bachelor's Degree in Social Work at the Universidad Autónoma del Estado de Hidalgo.

In Mexico, there is a significant increase in the participation of women who continue with higher education studies in so-called traditional careers or in others considered for a long time "masculine" (not proper for women by families, rather than educational spaces), allowing greater freedom to decide what to study. According to figures from the Ministry of Public Education in 2010, men from 15 to 19 years of age represented 66.6%, and 64.4% for women, where 20 to 24 years of age accounted for 33.2% and 29.1% respectively. There has been a need, especially from international organizations, to promote greater participation of women in educational spaces; for example, UNESCO (1998), considered conditions of equality for access to higher education, which allows greater participation of women in decision making for social development, as well as in the promotion of their rights. In view of this, various forms of support are required to continue with their studies, especially economic support, which in many ways has depended on family support networks (80.4%), while also considering other forms of support (employment, partner, scholarships). However, there are a series of factors that influence the educational spaces that represent a complexity for women to continue or not with their studies, so the objective of this study is to analyze psychosocial factors that affect unplanned pregnancies of university students of the Bachelor's degree in Social Work.Based on a descriptive cross-sectional study, we considered female students of the Bachelor's Degree in Social Work of the Institute of Social Sciences and Humanities of the Autonomous University of the State of Hidalgo, who were or are pregnant and are currently studying in different semesters. A questionnaire was used to obtain sexual and reproductive information, as well as information on the management of independence in the face of new scenarios.
