Intrafamily violence: Brazilian adaptation and psychometric evidence of the Children’s Natural Environment Signaling Scale

“…However, there was a higher frequency of violent behavior against children and adolescents, compared to violence between adults or couples. Such results are in line with the literature, insofar as intrafamily violence is related to the imbalance of manifested power in the relationships between family members (Mota et al, 2018); children and adolescents are the most affected, as they are more physically and emotionally vulnerable (Maia et al, 2017). However, as previously mentioned, the violence practiced by figures of authority that are so significant for the child or adolescent, such as parents or caregivers, who must be responsible for embracing and protecting them, can cause several problems, whether physical, psychological, or even social (Lourenço et al, 2011;Reis et al, 2018;Zambrano-Villalba, 2017).…”

“…In this sense, it is important to make families, especially parents, aware that this type of violence can negatively influence the development of children/adolescents, causing damage to self-esteem, learning difficulties, socialization problems, and even mental disorders, such as anxiety and depression (Maia et al, 2017;Rocha & Moraes, 2011;Silva & Gonçalves, 2019). In addition, violent behaviors experienced in the family environment can have negative long-term consequences, and, for example, may lead individuals to repeat the patterns they experienced in their future love relationships, thus generating violence when they are dating or in their conjugal lives (Faias et al, 2017;Madalena et al, 2018).…”

“…It is known that the family context is a primary space for embracing, for learning, and for experiences, which has a strong influence on the development of individuals. However, depending on the situation, the family can also act as an important risk factor in the affective and social life of its members (Maia, Nunes, Silva, & Silva, 2017). Children and/or adolescents who live in a home characterized by violence, witnessing conjugal fights, for example, may not be directly abused, but they bear the marks of abuse, experiencing a strange environment in the relationship between parents (or caregivers), which can lead to strong psychological suffering (Sani, 2003).…”

Perfil Das Famílias E Do Atendimento Em Saúde Prestado a Crianças Vítimas De Violência Doméstica No Interior Do Paraná

“…Em consonância com a literatura, a maior parte dos casos identificados de violência doméstica praticada contra crianças corresponde a crianças que possuem mais de dez anos, as quais estão mais dispostas a questionar a violência que sofrem (GAWRYSZEWSKI et al, 2012;ASSIS et al 2012, RODRIGUES et al, 2017. Do mesmo modo, percebese que os pais são mais comumente os autores da violência (ASSIS et al, 2012;BRANCO e TOMANIK, 2015;VALENTE et al, 2015, MAGALHÃES et al, 2016, MAIA et al, 2017. Nota-se, ainda, uma prevalência maior de casos de violência aplicada contra meninas em relação às agressões aplicadas contra meninos (ASSIS et al, 2012;OLIVEIRA et al, 2011;BRANCO e TOMANIK, 2015).…”

“…Em geral, o autor da violência é alguém que passa muito tempo próximo à criança. Os estudos apontam que a mãe é o agressor mais frequente, seguida do pai, do padrasto e da madrasta (GAWRYSZEWSKI et al, 2012, ASSIS et al, 2012, OLIVEIRA et al, 2011, BRANCO e TOMANIK, 2015, VALENTE et al, 2015LURDERMIR, 2017, MAGALHÃES et al, 2017, MAIA et al, 2017. No tocante aos tipos de violência mais frequentes, a maior parte dos estudos aponta a negligência como a mais comum, seguida da violência física, violência sexual e, por fim, a violência psicológica (ASSIS et al, 2012; BRANCO e TOMANIK, 2015).…”
