An interventional study of Digital Health Coaching Self-Management Program in Adolescent Pregnancy, sponsored by Al-Zaytoonah University of Jordan. Completed at 1 site in Jordan. Open to female participants aged 15 Years to 19 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-10-08.
Sponsored by Al-Zaytoonah University of Jordan · Not applicable, Interventional, and Prevention
Adolescent pregnancy can present health challenges for both mothers and their babies. Pregnant adolescents who are experiencing their first pregnancy may need additional support to develop healthy practices, manage pregnancy-related concerns, and prepare for childbirth and motherhood.
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a digital health coaching self-management program designed to support healthy pregnancy practices and improve pregnancy outcomes among primiparous pregnant adolescents.
The study will include 70 pregnant adolescents receiving care at the obstetrics outpatient clinics of Tanta University Hospital, Tanta General Hospital, and El-Mabara Hospital. Participants will be assigned to either an intervention group or a control group. The intervention group will receive a digital health coaching self-management program in addition to routine antenatal care, while the control group will receive routine antenatal care alone.
The program will provide health education and self-management guidance through digital health coaching to encourage healthy pregnancy behaviors, improve knowledge and attitudes toward pregnancy and motherhood, and support appropriate self-care.
Researchers will assess participants' knowledge, attitudes, healthy pregnancy practices, and pregnancy outcomes using structured questionnaires and pregnancy outcome assessments.
The study findings may help healthcare providers identify ways to use digital health coaching to support pregnant adolescents and promote healthy pregnancy practices and maternal and neonatal health.
Adolescent pregnancy is an important public health concern associated with potential maternal and neonatal health challenges. Adolescents experiencing their first pregnancy may require additional educational, emotional, and self-management support to develop healthy pregnancy practices and prepare for motherhood.
Digital health coaching provides an opportunity to deliver accessible health education and ongoing support through mobile-based communication. Such interventions may help pregnant adolescents improve their pregnancy-related knowledge, attitudes, self-care behaviors, and adherence to recommended healthy practices.
