The Magnitude of Unintended Pregnancy and the Proposed Interventions for Botswana

Author(s) OGAR RAPINYANA, LESEDI MOSEBETSI, NAOMI SEBONI
Country Botswana
Abstract Unintended pregnancies are a significant global public health issue with profound health, economic, and psychosocial impacts. They constitute nearly half of all pregnancies globally, with sub-Saharan Africa. In Botswana, about 43% of pregnancies are unintended, highlighting gaps in contraceptive access and education despite a 67.4% contraceptive prevalence.
A thorough literature search was conducted using databases online databases like CINAHL, PubMed, Google Scholar, and EBSCOhost. National and international policy documents and guidelines were included, applying a ten-year filter, which yielded nine relevant articles.
Socio-economic factors, contraceptive failures, misinformation, and gender dynamics are primary contributors to contraceptive failure and untimed pregnancies, disproportionately affecting adolescents. These pregnancies are linked to adverse outcomes such as unsafe abortions, increased maternal mortality, and psychological distress.
Addressing unintended pregnancies requires a multifaceted approach. Collaborative efforts among healthcare providers, policymakers, and communities are vital for sustainable solutions, empowering individuals to make informed reproductive health decisions within their cultural and societal contexts.
