It was argued that the coronavirus pandemic is likely to lead to an increase in the occurrence of domestic violence incidents against women, while victims are forced to quarantine at home with potentially abusive family members. In this context, it was found that women living in rural areas are at increased risk. In defining their vulnerability was observed least school years, black race and young age (young women) of raped and abused women. The spouse was also identified as the main aggressor, who practiced physical violence, with recurrence, within the victim's own residence, associated with the abusive use of alcoholic beverages. It has alerted the world to this problem and called attention to the need to promote strategies to protect women. It is known that women and men experience pandemics in different ways and those circumstances, in addition to strengthening situations of women's vulnerability, tend to aggravate family tensions, especially in families with a history of recurrent domestic violence.
Purpose: The main objective of the present study is to evaluate the violence against the elderly population of the Minas Gerais state, between 2007 and 2017, in order to draw an epidemiologic profile of these events through the gathering of secondary data registered by the Information System for Notifiable Diseases (SINAN). Methods: We analyzed data from the public health system between 2007 and 2017, in order to draw an epidemiologic profile of these events through the gathering of secondary data registered by the Information System for Notifiable Diseases (SINAN). The acts of violence committed were classified according to the injured body part, the number of people involved, the sex of the victim, suspect of alcohol abuse by the aggressor, the race, the marital status, the location, the aggressor’s gender, the relationship with the victim and the evolution to death. Results: By analyzing this data, it was possible to notice 15086 notifications of violence against the elderly in 814 cities of the Minas Gerais state, and 122 of those cities had cases that resulted in deaths. Conclusion: Hence, it was possible to conclude that several aspects exist in this kind of violence, such as the victim’s gender, the type of violence, the number of aggressors, relationship, and others still. Thereby, this study highlights the need of more research on this topic, in order to offer better combat against this type of violent actions, since the increase of the elderly population is due to Brazil’s demographic transition that has been occurring in the last years.
Este trabalho objetiva relatar a experiência de realização de três salas de espera por estudantes de graduação, em uma Unidade Básica de Saúde da Família (UBSF). Trata-se do relato de experiência de um projeto de extensão universitária com dinâmicas em salas de espera em serviço da APS. Os propositores e executores das atividades foram membros de uma Liga Acadêmica de Saúde da Família e Comunidade vinculada ao curso de medicina de uma Universidade Federal. Elementos disparadores como cartuns e músicas foram utilizados para realização das dinâmicas. Como resultados, os estudantes conduziram as três salas de espera abordando, respectivamente, os temas saúde mental, arboviroses e suicidalidade. As experiências permitiram o diálogo com a população e equipe de saúde da UBSF sobre os temas, pois em todas as atividades as falas dos usuários do serviço foram incentivadas, expondo seus conhecimentos acerca dos temas. Ao final, o projeto de extensão possibilitou aos estudantes exercitar habilidades de comunicação interpessoal. Além disso, a execução das atividades permitiu valorização de princípios de Educação Popular em Saúde.
Diante de poucos estudos referentes à epidemiologia dos casos de violência contra crianças e adolescentes praticados no país, com resultados ainda menores ao se restringir ao Estado de Minas Gerais se faz necessário explorar esse fenômeno e suas características. O presente estudo tem como objetivo analisar o perfil epidemiológico dos casos de violência praticados contra a população infantil e juvenil do Estado de Minas Gerais, entre os anos de 2007 e 2017. A metodologia utilizada foi um estudo descritivo, a partir de dados secundários obtidos do Sistema de Informação de Agravos de Notificação (SINAN). A partir da análise de dados, foram registradas 693.495 notificações de casos de violência contra crianças e adolescentes no período relatado, sendo que 3.600 (0,51%) desses evoluíram para óbito. As vítimas foram, predominantemente, do sexo feminino com 421.715 (60,81%), negras 304.296 (43,87%), na faixa etária de 15 a 19 anos com 256.612 (37,0%), com baixa escolaridade 196.914 (28,4%). Foi observado o predomínio da violência física em 332.369 (47,93%), praticada por familiar em 268.857 (38,76%), com relato de uso de álcool em 98.563 (14,21%). Assim, este estudo realça a necessidade de maior atenção a essa população vulnerável e de estabelecimento de ações efetivas no combate a esse tipo de violência. Palavras-chave: Brasil. Epidemiologia.

Abstract Considering the small number of studies found regarding the violence epidemiology against children and adolescents practiced in the country, with even smaller results when restricting the search to the state of Minas Gerais (MG), it proved necessary to explore this phenomenon and its characteristics. The present study aims to analyze the violence epidemiological profile against the child and youth occurrences in MG, between the years 2007 and 2017. The methodology used was a descriptive study, based on secondary data obtained from the Notifiable Diseases Information System (SINAN).
