Resumo Este estudo avaliou os efeitos de uma intervenção para prevenção à violência no namoro sobre intenções de enfrentamento a esse tipo de violência, dificuldades em regulação das emoções e endosso a normas tradicionais de papéis de gênero masculino. Participaram 45 adolescentes, alocados não randomicamente em um grupo experimental (N = 21) e um grupo controle (N = 24). A intervenção compreendeu nove sessões focadas em informações sobre violência no namoro, habilidades sociais, tomada de decisão, papéis de gênero, direitos sexuais e reprodutivos e empoderamento. Análises intra e entre grupos revelaram redução significativa em crenças que apoiam a restrição emocional como característica masculina no grupo experimental, ao passo que intenções de enfrentamento à violência no namoro e regulação emocional não sofreram mudanças significativas em nenhum dos grupos. Contudo, avaliações qualitativas evidenciaram a prática extrassessão de habilidades de autocontrole e expressão emocional, assertividade e empatia. Novos estudos, principalmente longitudinais, são recomendados para elucidar esses resultados.
Resumo:A literatura aponta que a influência dos pares desempenha um papel importante na compreensão da violência no namoro, e que o uso de educadores ou líderes de pares para encorajar comportamentos saudáveis entre adolescentes tem sido um componente comum em programas preventivos dessa natureza. Por meio de uma revisão narrativa, o presente artigo buscou sumarizar aspectos teóricos relativos à influência dos pares no contexto da violência no namoro, bem como descrever estudos com foco na prevenção à violência no namoro, os quais utilizaram, no todo ou em parte, a estratégia da educação por pares como componente no desenho dessas intervenções. Ao final, são discutidos pontos fortes e limitações dos programas de prevenção à violência no namoro baseados na educação por pares, além de apontar horizontes futuros de pesquisa na área.

Peer Influence and Peer Education in Dating Violence PreventionAbstract: Literature points out that peer influence plays an important role in the understanding of dating violence, and that the employment of peer educators or peer leaders to encourage healthy behaviors among adolescents has become a common component of such preventive programs. By means of a narrative review, this article aimed to summarize the theoretical aspects of peer influence in this context, as well as to describe studies that have focused in the prevention of dating violence and that have adopted peer education strategies, be it solely or incorporated to others in the design of the interventions. Finally, the strong suits and limitations of dating violence prevention programs based in peer education are discussed, as well as future perspectives for research in the field.
The present study examined feasibility evidence of a peer-based intervention in preventing dating violence by monitoring process indicators during the implementation phase of pilot studies. Two pilot studies were carried out in cities from diff erent Brazilian regions with the participation of 25 high schoolers. Quantitative and qualitative measurements were used and this data was explored, respectively, by frequency count and content analysis. The study identifi ed, on the one hand, evidence supporting the intervention, with good indicators of satisfaction and participant involvement, but on the other hand, contextual barriers that hampered recruitment, restricted the reach of the intervention, prevented the delivery of the number of planned sessions, and created roadblocks to the participants' adherence. In spite of such barriers, monitored process indicators testify in favor of the acceptability of the intervention if integrated into the school curriculum and changed its format to make it shorter.
Peers are the preferred source of help for Brazilian adolescents who experience dating violence. However, they are not always the best informants for effective responses for dealing with situations of violence in romantic relationships among peers. This experimental study aimed to evaluate the short-term efficacy of three aspects of a peer-and bystander approach-based intervention: the intent to offer help, empathy, and bystander attitudes in response to dating violence in a Brazilian sample of adolescents. The study's participants were 33 adolescents randomized in two groups: experimental group (EG, n = 14) and control group (CG, n = 19). The EG underwent three weekly intervention sessions of 90 min each on the healthy versus violent romantic relationships, the quality of friendship in the peer network, and the role of the bystander, while the CG received no intervention. Evaluations were performed 1 week before and two and half months after the intervention. Statistically significant differences between EG and CG at post-test were not found in intention to help, empathy, and bystander attitudes. Future studies should include evaluations of larger samples and mid-and long-term follow-ups to identify patterns of change over the long term as well as examine barriers to utilization of bystander behaviors by adolescents in Brazilian culture.
Objective: to understand the experience of mothers after the diagnosis of congenital malformation and the expectations of care from the health and social network. Methods: qualitative research based on Social Phenomenology, with the participation of six mothers living in border towns, by means of semi-structured interviews. Results: the reports brought information about the diagnosis of congenital malformation, the experience of pregnancy, becoming a mother of a child with malformation and the expectations of health and social care. Conclusion: the social group studied experienced the diagnosis of malformation with suffering, emotional repercussions and changes in their daily lives. Contributions to practice: communication by the health team contributes to understanding and facing the malformation. The importance of the family and social network support was highlighted. It is necessary to develop professional skills related to communication and to make more investments in training and working conditions that allow more time for the care of this public.
