Abstract

Trata-se de um estudo de análise do Boletim de Ocorrência (BO), a fim de caracterizar a violência doméstica e familiar contra a mulher em um município de Minas Gerais no ano de 2011 para melhor estratégia de planejamento das ações no âmbito da saúde. Foram analisados 392 BOs dos 715 registrados no ano de 2011. Caracterizaram-se as vítimas e agressores de acordo com as informações oferecidas pelo BO. As vítimas apresentaram idade média de 33,28 anos, enquanto os agressores apresentaram idade média de 35,55 anos. O domingo foi o dia em que ocorreu maior número de casos de violência, e apenas 22,7% dos agressores estavam sob efeito de bebidas alcoólicas. Conclui-se que, ao se conhecer a violência do município, novas práticas sociais e ações de saúde serão estruturadas.

Profile of intimate partner violence in Family Health Units

“…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.…”

“…It is considered that the elevated quantity of this form of violence is related to the naturalizing of this practice during traditional marital relationships (17) . As can be observed, sexual violence was present in a predominant manner among married women, above all in the form of less severe abuse -as in the cases of sexual coercion which may or may not involve physical force, or in the case of practices wherein the partner is intimidated into having sex without the use of condoms -which is possibly not seen by the partners as abusive (4) .

In the family environment, many studies have addressed the relationships of conflict and violence between intimate partners, perhaps due to the innumerous variables in the causal links, or due to the varying daily and mutual consequences -for both the victim and perpetrator (3)(4) . Specifically with respect to violence perpetrated against women, which reaches in the order of 90% of this public, much wisdom has been accumulated, above all regarding the impact and triggering factors of abusive acts -that cause from physical and psychological consequences to difficulties in using the health services (2,5) .…”

Cross-sectional study on the association between frailty and violence against community-dwelling elderly people in Brazil

“…32 In addition, groups with higher education seek other sectors, such as medical and legal services, to solve the problem. 33 Thus, during professional care, it is necessary to consider the level of schooling of elderly patients, in order to facilitate understanding of the guidelines for the rights of elderly people.…”
