O estudo da paternidade na adolescência representa, ainda, uma lacuna na literatura
internacional e, principalmente, nacional. Pouco se conhece sobre as vivências dos futuros
pais adolescentes durante o período de gestação já que estes têm merecido pouca atenção face ao exclusivo interesse sobre as mães adolescentes. Com este estudo de carácter exploratório pretendeu-se alargar a compreensão dos seus sentimentos, perceções e expectativas e contribuir para ampliar a importância da sua inclusão nos serviços de saúde prestados à gravidez na adolescência. Procurou-se identificar semelhanças e diferenças nas perspetivas dos participantes. A amostra foi selecionada por conveniência sendo constituída por seis adolescentes com idade compreendida entre os 18 e os 20 anos. Foi utilizada uma entrevista semi-estruturada e aplicada a análise de conteúdo para a análise dos dados. Encontraram-se mais semelhanças do que diferenças entre os adolescentes e contrapôs-se o estereótipo social presente do adolescente descomprometido e ausente.
