Support to women who denounce experiences of violence based on her social network

Abstract

Objective: to analyze the possibilities of help/support through the mapping and acknowledgement of the social network of women who denounce experiences of violence at a Police Precinct for Women. Method: qualitative study based on the theoretical-methodological framework of Lia Sanicola's Social Network, through interviews with 19 women. Results: the analysis of the network maps evidenced that the primary social network was more present than the secondary on and, despite consisting of significant relations, it demonstrates limitations. The women access the secondary network occasionally in the violence problem and/or its repercussions in their life and health. The discrete presence of the health network in the composition of the social network was revealed and, when mentioned, the relation between the health professional and the woman was characterized as fragile. Conclusion: the importance of the social network relates to the creation of spaces of help/support for the women beyond the moment of the aggression, which accompany them throughout their process of emancipation from an experience annulled by violence, considering that each woman acts and makes decisions in the relational context when she is ready for it.

The care network of the families involved in violence against children and adolescents: the Primary Health Care perspective

“…The health services in Brazil act on singular points in time in how they cope with violence against women, without guaranteeing the integrality needed in these situations (Vieira et al . ).…”

“…Network care has emerged as a new process, opposed to the traditional approaches of public policies, which rest on fragmented, singular and compensatory actions, producing simplified and segmented interventions in view of what are, in reality, complex phenomena (Sylaska & Edwards 2014, Clarke & Wydall 2015, O'Hare et al 2015, Vieira et al 2015, Goodman et al 2016, as well as in child's and adolescent's health (Gregori et al 2011, Guldbrandsson et al 2012, Becker et al 2014). This concept is systemic, dialectical and complex (Morin 2008).…”

Health care for women in situations of violence: discoordination of network professionals

“…Therefore, embracement includes the protection and care offered by professionals to women in situations of violence (14) . It sets the relational dimension of the work in health (15) and may overcome the professional relationship of health versus women, characterized in some studies as fragile (16) . The guidelines are related to denouncing the aggressor and the legislation that protects women in such situations, such as Law 11.340/2006 -Maria da Penha Law (17) .…”

Minimum Map of Social Institutional Network: a multidimensional strategy for research in Nursing

“…The literature in the area corroborates the relevance of using multidimensional research methodologies (7,20) , because these are important strategies for action research, with the discussion and construction of intervention projects that are more efficient and based on the services practice (21) . In this context, active and multidimensional methodologies should not be used as mere tools aimed at vocational training or educational activities in the service.…”
