“…It is possible to reinforce such findings with the association between abusive events and the lower economic classes, especially the middle class (4,(19)(20) . Asymmetric relationships between the partners, as in the case of differences in income and education, can contribute to the loss of autonomy and increased dependence of women, especially in societies in which the patriarchal culture corroborates with the model of Man as provider and woman as submissive to him.…”

Objective: To estimate the profile of intimate partner violence involving women in a scenario of Family Health Strategy in the municipality of Nova Iguaçu (Rio de Janeiro). Method: A transversal study was conducted in four units with a sample of 640 women between the ages of 25 to 64. The phenomena of violence was determined using the tool Revised Conflict Tactics Scales, validated for Brazil. Statistical analysis took into consideration an estimation of prevalence in the calculation of the p values. Results: The situations of violence and the sociodemographic profiles demonstrated a statistically significant relationship with the variables of educational level and housing conditions. Age, ethnicity and economic class demonstrated an association with certain types of violence, varying in type and severity. Conclusion: The study investigated the profile of these situations of violence and enabled reflection regarding the approaches adopted by the Family Health Strategy teams. Descriptors: Violence; Domestic Violence; Violence Against Women; Intimate Partner Violence; Family Health. RESUMO Objetivo: Estimar o perfil das situações de violência por parceiros íntimos que envolvem mulheres no âmbito da Estratégia Saúde da Família do município de Nova Iguaçu (Rio de Janeiro).

Apreendeu-se o fenômeno das violências com auxílio do instrumento Revised Conflict Tactics Scales, validado para o Brasil. A análise estatística levou em consideração a estimação das prevalências e o cálculo dos p-valores. Resultados: a associação entre as situações de violências e o perfil sociodemográfico demostrou significação estatística principalmente para as variáveis tempo de estudo e condições de moradia. Idade, etnia e classe econômica demonstraram associação com alguns tipos de violência, variando em forma e gravidade. Conclusão: O estudo investigou o perfil das situações de violências e possibilitou reflexões quanto às abordagens adotadas pelas equipes da Estratégia Saúde da Família.

“…A delimitação de tempo para os últimos 12 meses, embora possa gerar viés de memória, é comum a outros inquéritos e por si só não poderia explicar a baixa prevalência. Por fim, um outro fator contribuinte poderia ser o fato que a PNS se baseou em amostra representativa da população brasileira e não em sub amostras de grupos vulneráveis como grande parte dos estudos de VPI 21,22 , e portanto, era de se esperar valores mais baixos em uma amostra com representatividade nacional.…”

Resumo O objetivo do artigo foi avaliar a associação entre Violência por Parceiros Íntimos (VPI) e depressão em adultos brasileiros. Este estudo transversal utilizou dados da Pesquisa Nacional de Saúde (PNS) de 2013, com amostra representativa de 49.025 adultos brasileiros, com informações de VPI, depressão e condições sociodemográficas. Para a descrição de características associadas com a depressão, incluindo a exposição principal (VPI), foram realizadas análises de regressão logística simples e múltipla. As análises foram realizadas no programa Stata, versão 13.0. A prevalência de VPI foi de 1,0% na população em geral, de 0,38% entre homens e 1,58% entre mulheres. A prevalência de depressão foi 3,94% (IC95% = 3,68-4,22) na população em geral, e de 1,67% (IC95% = 1,40-1,94) entre os homens e 6,03% (IC95% = 5,57- 6,48) entre as mulheres. Vítimas de VPI tiveram mais chances de relatar depressão em relação às não vítimas (aOR = 2,90; IC95% = 1,38-6,09). Concluiu-se que depressão está associada à VPI, o que tem implicações importantes no ponto de vista da saúde pública.

“…The various forms of abuse may co-exist [10]; for instance, physical abuse or violence is mostly accompanied by sexual violence, and the latter may also come along with emotional violence [10,11]. IPV is increasingly recognized as a relevant social and health problem by relevant institutions and organizations worldwide [12][13][14], due to its adverse impacts on victims [10,15], and society as a whole [7,[16][17][18][19].…”

Background Intimate partner violence (IPV) against women and poor nutritional status are growing health problems in low and middle-income countries (LMICs). Moreover, violence against women has been shown to be associated with poor nutrition. This study investigated the relationship between IPV and nutritional status (i.e., underweight, overweight, and obesity) among women of reproductive age (15–49 years) in Zimbabwe. Methods Pooled data from the 2005/2006, 2010/2011, and 2015 Zimbabwe Demographic Health Surveys (ZDHS) on 13,008 married/cohabiting women were analysed. Multinomial logistic regression models were used to examine the associations between the various forms of IPV and the nutritional status of women. We further estimated the prevalence of BMI ≥ 25.0 kg/m2 (overweight and obesity) by intimate partner violence type. Results The mean BMI of women was 24.3 kg/m2, more than one-fifth (24%) were overweight and about 12% were obese. Forty-three percent (43%) of women reported to have ever experienced at least one form of intimate partner violence. More than one-third (35%) of women who reported to have ever experienced at least one form of intimate partner violence had a BMI ≥ 25.0 kg/m2 (p < 0.01). Relative to normal weight, women who had ever experienced at least one form of IPV (i.e., physical, emotional, or sexual) were more likely to be obese (aOR = 2.59; 95% CI = 1.05–6.39). Women’s exposure to any form of intimate partner violence was not significantly associated with the likelihood of being underweight or overweight relative to normal weight. Conclusions The study findings showed that women of reproductive age in Zimbabwe are at high risk of both IPV and excess weight. Moreover, we found a positive relationship between IPV and obesity. Public health interventions that target the well-being, empowerment, and development of women are needed to address the complex issue of IPV and adverse health outcomes, including obesity.
