Objective:To analyze the scientific literature on preventing intimate partner violence among adolescents in the field of health based on gender and generational categories. Method: This was an integrative review. We searched for articles using LILACS, PubMed/MEDLINE, and SciELO databases. Results: Thirty articles were selected. The results indicate that most studies assessed interventions conducted by programs for intimate partner violence prevention. These studies adopted quantitative methods, and most were in the area of nursing, psychology, and medicine. Furthermore, most research contexts involved schools, followed by households, a hospital, a health center, and an indigenous tribe. Conclusion: The analyses were not conducted from a gender -and generation-based perspective. Instead, the scientific literature was based on positivist research models, intimately connected to the classic public healthcare model and centered on a singular dimension.

Objective: to analyze the intimate partner violence in adolescence from the perspective of gender and generation. Method: Quantitative, descriptive, and exploratory research. 111 adolescents participated in this study, with ages from 15 to 19 years old. Results: We found that 91% of participants have perpetrated and 90.1% have undergone at least one of the natures of violence. The intimate partner violence in adolescence constitutes a form of gender violence, and gender constructions have determined the suffered and perpetrated aggressions, possibly also determining the naturalization and legitimization of such aggressions. The inequality of power between generations may determine greater vulnerability of youngsters to the phenomenon. Conclusion: The historical and social construction of masculinity and femininity and the power inequalities set by these constructions converge with the power inequality between generations. Thus, gender and generation are determinants of intimate partner violence in adolescence, as well as of the vulnerability of adolescents to this phenomenon.

RESUMO Objetivo: Analisar a violência por parceiro íntimo na adolescência na perspectiva de gênero e geração. Método: Pesquisa quantitativa, descritiva e exploratória. Participaram 111 adolescentes, com idades de 15 a 19 anos. Resultados: Constatou-se que 91% dos participantes perpetraram e 90,1% sofreram, no mínimo, uma das naturezas de violência. A violência por parceiro íntimo na adolescência constitui uma forma de violência de gênero, e as construções de gênero determinaram as agressões sofridas e perpetradas, possivelmente determinando também a naturalização e legitimação de tais agressões. A desigualdade de poder entre as gerações pode determinar maior vulnerabilidade dos mais jovens ao fenômeno. Conclusão: A construção histórica e social da masculinidade e da feminilidade e as desigualdades de poder estabelecidas por essas construções confl uem com a desigualdade de poder entre as gerações. Assim, gênero e geração são determinantes da violência por parceiro íntimo na adolescência, bem como da vulnerabilidade de adolescentes a esse fenômeno.

Objective To understand the experience of children and adolescents living with type 1 diabetes and celiac disease. Method This is a qualitative exploratory-descriptive study. The participants were 3 children and 2 adolescents. The data were collected by means of semi-structured interviews between January and September 2012 at the participant's residence or at the diabetic outpatient clinic of the Hospital das Clinicas, Faculty of Medicine, University of Sao Paulo in São Paulo, Brazil. The content analysis technique was used to process the data. Results The key aspect of the illness experience of the patients was their diet, but with different meanings. The children had difficulty following the diet, while the adolescents reported that they had greater difficulty coping with the social and affective aspects of their diet. Conclusion The results reinforce the importance of nurses who seek strategies, together with the patients and their families, that help minimize the difficulties of these patients, especially with regard to managing the diet imposed by both diseases.

Objective: To analyze the violence by intimate partner in adolescence in view of the categories of gender, gender violence and generation. Method: This is a descriptive and exploratory research that utilizes quantitative methods. The data was collected in a public school of Technical Education and Higher Education in the Brazilian city of Curitiba, state of Paraná. The participants were 111 adolescents whose ages ranged from 15 to 19 years old. Data collection was conducted by means of an anonymous and self-fillable instrument, composed of closed questions and the CADRI scale. Results: It was found that 91% of the participants reported perpetrating at least one of the forms of violence measured in this study and 90.1% reported having suffered at least one of the forms of violence. The verbal/emotional violence showed the highest frequency of perpetration (90.1%) and victimization (89.2%), followed by suffered (32.4%) and perpetrated (27.9%) sexual violence, suffered (25.2%) and perpetrated (21.6%) threats, suffered relational violence (22.5%), perpetrated (22.5%) and suffered (18%) physical violence and perpetrated relational violence (8,1%). For almost half of the participants, the experience and perpetration of physical and sexual aggression occurred in conjunction with the experience and perpetration of psychological violence. Violence by an intimate partner during the adolescence constitutes an early form of gender violence. Gender constructs determined the occurrences of suffered and perpetrated violence and also seem to naturalize and legitimate these attacks. The inequality of power between generations may cause more vulnerability to violence by intimate partner in adolescence. Furthermore, in relation to aggression, the category of generation enabled us to understand the emergence of new forms of perpetration and victimization determined by historical and social changes. Conclusions: The historical and social construction of masculinity and femininity, as well as the inequalities of power established by those constructs, converge with the imbalance of power between generations. Thus, gender and generation are determinants of violence by intimate partner in adolescence, as well as of the vulnerability of adolescents to this phenomenon.
