“…Thus, there are many opportunities for the professionals to be able to talk about violence and search for clues that allow them to start a delicate conversation. 7 , 17 Thus, any welcoming environment that allows sharing information becomes essential for the phenomenon to be addressed and identified, especially considering the constant female presence in daily care in the context of primary health care institutions. In the meantime, it is up to the health professionals to be prepared to create a favorable method to achieve the attributions inherent to primary health care within the scope of IPV through a relationship of proximity and trust in the professional/victim relationship.…”

Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) is a recurring phenomenon in society and can have important repercussions for the lives and health of women worldwide. Even in this alarming global scenario, many health workers still have difficulties approaching IPV with women and providing care for the victims of this type of violence. Given this context, this qualitative study aims at understanding how primary health care professionals provide care for women victims of violence by intimate partners. In view of the methodology design proposed in the Grounded Theory, data collection took place through theoretical sampling. Data collection was carried out in 22 institutions offering primary health care, with 31 female workers from different professional categories being interviewed individually and in depth, including physicians, nurses, dentists, psychologists, and social workers. The results show that, in order to overcome the difficulties encountered in caring for victims of IPV, primary health care workers have been developing strategies for the care of these women. These strategies include identification of such cases through questions about the woman’s intimate relationship, by establishing a bond with the victim so that she feels welcomed, and through articulation with other team professionals to propose expanded health care. The interventions carried out by these professionals include meeting the demands of women in the health institution where they work, referral to other services in the network, if necessary, and notification of IPV cases to epidemiological surveillance. Based on this understanding of the care offered by the professionals to women who are victims of IPV in primary health care, the research aims at contributing to the sensitization of professionals working in health institutions regarding the identification of signs that raise suspicion of IPV, as well as at addressing such cases in a way to fully meet these women’s needs.

“…Gender-based violence (GBV) is defined by the United Nations in its Declaration on the Elimination of Violence against Women as an act that results in, or is likely to result in, physical, sexual or mental harm or suffering to women, including threats of such acts, coercion, or arbitrary deprivation of liberty, whether occurring in public or private life. 1 Violence against women is a human rights violation and is a constraint on gender equality and the development of nations. Even though GBV affects both men and women, it is more common among women.…”

The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence and associated factors of gender-based violence (GBV) among second- and third-year female students of private colleges in Harar town, eastern Ethiopia . We conducted an institution-based cross-sectional study among 302 randomly selected second- and third-year female students attending private colleges in Harar town. We used descriptive statistics and logistic regression analyses. Adjusted odds ratios (AORs) with 95% confidence interval and a P value < .05 were used to interpret associations and to declare a significance of asso ciation, respectively. A total of 298 (98.7%) participants completed the questionnaire, and the overall prevalence of GBV was 57.7% (n = 172). Specifically, 36.2% of the students experienced physical violence; 46.6%, sexual violence; and 56.4%, emotional/verbal violence. The prevalence of attempted and completed rape was 36.7 and 28.8%, respectively. The following were significant predictors of GBV: age ≤ 19 years (AOR = 3.4; 95% CI, 1.4–5.3), monthly pocket money ≤ 240 Ethiopian Birr (AOR = 3.3; 95% CI, 1.7–5.9), Orthodox religion (AOR = 5.3; 95% CI, 1.9–14.4), Amhara ethnicity (AOR = 2.3; 95% CI, 1.65–4.2), living alone in a rented house (AOR = 3.2, 95% CI, 1.79–6.25), having a partner (husband or boyfriend; AOR = 4.42; 95% CI, 2.4–8.05), having a roommate with a boyfriend (AOR = 4; 95% CI, 2.8–7.6), and studying in the pharmacy department (AOR = 3.0; 95% CI, 1.1–7.6). This study found that a considerable number of female students were survivors of GBV while at college. The college authorities and other stakeholders need to combat GBV with interventions, such as GBV awareness programs, and legal protections.

“…Essa especialidade foi reconhecida em 1992 nos EUA, por meio da criação da IAFN (International Association of Forensic Nurses), fundada por 72 enfermeiras norte americanas que se dedicavam a exames de perícia em vítimas de abuso sexual (International Association of Forensic Nurses, 2021). Entretanto, os registros dessa área como ciência são bem mais antigos, datando do século XVII, quando os tribunais intimavam as parteiras a dar o seu parecer perante situações de gravidez, virgindade e violação sexual (Lawrenz et al, 2018). O enfermeiro forense é o profissional que ajuda as vítimas de crime de violência, coletando informações e evidências relacionadas a um possível crime (Marcelo, & Barreto, 2019).…”

Objetivo: Conhecer a Enfermagem Forense na notificação compulsória da violência doméstica nas unidades de urgência e emergência para tornar visível os casos subnotificados. Metodologia: Estudo transversal com métodos de estatística descritiva, contemplando as variáveis analisadas e inferenciais, com os testes de U de Mann-Whitney e Correlação de Spearman. Os resultados de independência entre as variáveis propostas foram através dos valores de P (significância). Resultados: A maioria dos participantes era do sexo feminino, na faixa etária entre 25 e 35 anos e trabalharam no Hospital de Base de São José do Rio Preto. Grande parte lidou com situações de violência e respondeu que existia protocolo de violência nas unidades em que trabalhavam. De acordo com o Questionário Geral sobre Enfermagem Forense, dos participantes que tiveram uma pontuação aceitável, menos de 20% tiveram conhecimento forense na graduação. A grande maioria respondeu que se atenta a possíveis incompatibilidades entre os dados da história e os achados clínicos. 50% descrevem as características das lesões e, dos que realizam a Sistematização de Assistência de Enfermagem, 8 fazem os registros igualmente ao atendimento pré-hospitalar. Conclusão: Há uma ampla possibilidade de atuação na área forense para o enfermeiro, porém os profissionais entrevistados não possuem conhecimento suficiente sobre aspectos éticos e legais nas agressões domésticas. Assim, faz – se necessário instruir o profissional de saúde quanto ao reconhecimento da obrigatoriedade da notificação de violência, por meio do princípio forense e da recolha de vestígios.
