The goal of the research is to identify which specific obstetric psychoprophylaxis techniques are considered most advantageous and effective for the unique population of pregnant adolescents. The analysis was carried out on 418 cases in which the techniques used for obstetric psychoprophylaxis were evaluated and the benefits they provide for pregnant adolescents. The techniques used are spherodynamics, music therapy, breathing techniques, aromatherapy, relaxation techniques and massage therapy, of which the most used by pregnant women during pregnancy has been shown to be spherodynamics with 43.5% being the most effective. Which provides benefits such as shorter expulsion time with 22.97%, fewer vaginal tears with 16.03% as well as the baby's Apgar with the same percentage, more natural births, less duration of labor with 7.89% and reduction in anxiety with 4.07%
