OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the influence of sociodemographic, obstetric and neonatal variables on the quality-of-life index of adolescents after maternity. METHODS: Cross-sectional study with 96 adolescents who gave birth in a teaching hospital, with data collection done through a questionnaire administered during home visits. RESULTS: Overall quality-of-life index: 21.48. The socioeconomic domain had the lowest score attributed (17.34) and the family domain had the highest score (25.31). Statistically significant variables: maternal level of education, own income, gestational age at birth and number of live children. CONCLUSION: Such variables had a negative impact on the quality of life of the adolescents.
