Violência recorrente contra adolescentes: uma análise das notificações

Objective: We describe the prevalence of the reported cases of sexual violence against adolescents and analyze their associated factors. Methods: A cross-sectional analytical study (n = 561) was conducted with reported data on sexual violence against adolescents in the state of Espírito Santo registered in SINAN between 2011 and 2018 to understand the prevalence and predictors of sexual violence against adolescent victims, as well as to describe the perpetrators and the nature of the aggression. Variables to characterize the victim, aggression, and perpetrator were used. Bivariate analyses were performed using chi-square (χ2) and Fisher’s exact tests, and multivariate analyses were conducted using log-binomial models; the results were presented with prevalence ratios. All analyses were stratified by sex. Results: The prevalence of sexual violence was 32.6%, and 93% of the victims were female. In both males and females, the reported sexual violence was associated with a younger age (10–12 years old), living at home, being related to the perpetrator, and a history of sexual violence. In females, the reported sexual violence was also associated with the number of perpetrators, and in males, with the perpetrator’s age. Conclusions: Our findings show the high frequency of reporting of sexual violence and the characteristics of the victim, the aggression, and the aggressor as factors associated with its occurrence in both sexes. The importance of health information systems for disseminating data and the need for measures to prevent and treat the violence among adolescents is urgent.

O presente trabalho aborda a questão das violências sofridas ou cometidas em ambientes virtuais e as consequências disso para o desenvolvimento e prosseguimento da vida normal do adolescente. Os objetivos foram analisar os impactos na saúde mental das adolescentes vítimas de exposição sexual nas mídias digitais; e investigar os fatores biológicos e psicológicos envolvidos nos comportamentos das adolescentes em consequência da exposição em meios virtuais. Em relação à metodologia, realizamos uma pesquisa exploratória a fim de entendermos a realidade estudada, assim como contribuir para o debate e resolução do problema. A partir das informações coletadas no decorrer do estudo, concluiu-se que o adolescente não tem suporte e estabilidade para lidar com a violência incluindo o cyberbullying.
