The experience of helplessness or abandonment during pregnancy affects the emotional state of women, hindering their disposition in taking care of themselves and their baby. The aim of this study was to understand the emotional experience arising from intra-family violence experienced by institutionally sheltered adolescent mothers and pregnant adolescents. This study is exploratory, descriptive, clinical and qualitive. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with a psychologist from the institution and with six adolescents in the institution: one pregnant girl and five mothers. The data showed that helplessness was experienced by participants both during their pregnancy and throughout their lives. The institution was found to be the only place of protection, care and support for adolescents in the puerperal pregnancy period. The adolescents' mothers had also experienced abandonment by either their family members or their partners and the adolescents themselves repeated this abandonment with their own children. This study concludes that violence has consequences for the lives of adolescents, causing immense suffering and a transgenerational repetition of violence, demanding greater prevention and intervention.

Resumo Os termos Violência Doméstica (VD) e Violência Intrafamiliar (VI) são identificados na literatura com significados ora semelhantes, ora distintos. O objetivo deste trabalho foi identificar, analisar e compreender o uso dos termos VD e VI em artigos acadêmicos na área da psicologia. O método utilizado foi a revisão sistemática. Os termos VD e VI foram pesquisados nos artigos on-line da Revista Psicologia & Sociedade. Identificaram-se 46 artigos, sendo o uso do termo VD unânime quando se refere à violência de gênero e contra a mulher; já quando a violência se refere às crianças e adolescentes, observou-se uma maior diversidade no uso dos termos, e com relação à violência contra idosos, a prevalência foi do termo VI. Conclui-se sobre a importância de não reduzir o significado dos termos culminando em uma compreensão limitada ao âmbito microssocial, mas ampliando as reflexões acerca dos conceitos de forma a englobar também dimensões macrossociais.

No abstract

O presente artigo apresenta uma análise sócio-histórica sobre sentimentos e afetividades, no intuito de respaldar a reflexão sobre o sofrimento ético-político vivido pelos catadores na execução de suas atividades laborais. A pesquisa foi realizada por meio da observação participante e entrevistas semiestruturadas com cinco catadores de materiais recicláveis. A análise dos dados revela as emoções mais frequentes, que são a vergonha e a humilhação, decorrentes sobretudo da discriminação e do preconceito. Em contrapartida, tornar-se catador pode ser também fonte de alegria. De um lado, por motivo ético, ou seja, pela possibilidade de o indivíduo recuperar a própria dignidade ao se inserir e ser reconhecido socialmente como trabalhador honesto, distinto de mendigos e de bandidos. De outro lado, por lhe dar a oportunidade de organizar-se e mobilizar-se coletivamente na luta por melhores condições de trabalho e de vida. Palavras-chave: catadores de material reciclável; sofrimento ético-político; potência de ação.

Individualized prenatal care, the change in professional training and networking activities were pointed out as important components of the strategies for coping with violence against pregnant adolescents.
