“…A life in which less libido is exchanged stably than one would like can become unbearable. But the libido, in the forms of stasis and engorgement, can turn, in the unconscious, into anguish and give rise to internal conflicts that inevitably end up resulting in the relationship with the other[ 15 ]. As the COVID-19 pandemic has intensified, its effects diversified by gender have begun to gain attention[ 16 ].…”

Intimate partner violence has been recognized as a serious public health issue. Exposure to violence contributes to the genesis of, and exacerbates, mental health conditions, and existing mental health problems increase vulnerability to partner violence, a loop that imprisons victims and perpetuates the abuse. A recently described phenomenon is when male violence against females occurs within intimate relationships during youth, and it is termed adolescent or teen dating violence. In this narrative review, factors associated with intimate partner violence and consequences of exposure of children to parental domestic violence are discussed, along with possible intensification of violence against women with the spread of coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic and subsequent lockdown. Intervention programs with a multicomponent approach involving many health care settings and research have a pivotal role in developing additional strategies for addressing violence and to provide tailored interventions to victims. Prevention policy with a particular attention on healthy child and adolescent development is mandatory in the struggle against all forms of violence.

“…A longitudinal study of emergency department visits in the United States reported increases in mental health conditions, suspected child abuse and neglect, drug overdose, and suicide attempts, but not intimate partner violence (30) . In Japan, the Domestic Violence Consultation Plus helpline system was in contact with shelters throughout the country to help enact safety measures against COVID-19 (31) .…”

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are a global challenge, accounting for 71% of all deaths worldwide. The spread of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and past huge disasters have affected the prevention and treatment of NCDs and require urgent action. In this narrative review, I will discuss several reports on the risk of NCDs during past disasters and propose possible future directions. Hypertension, the most common NCD, carries a high risk of death due to cerebrovascular, renal, and other complications. Effective use of information and communication technology-based telemedicine is necessary to manage the risk of cardiovascular diseases during disasters and pandemics. We observed the cumulative incidence of metabolic syndrome in subjects from tsunami-affected areas. We found that moving into prefabricated temporary housing was a risk factor for a higher incidence of metabolic syndrome in elderly females. Our follow-up of 1,009 subjects showed a slight, but significant, increase in HbA1c values after a state of emergency was introduced, even though the lockdown was not as stringent as in other countries. In a study elucidating the prevalence of wheezing and eczema symptoms and the associated factors after the Great East Japan Earthquake, psychological effects, such as depression and self-reported posttraumatic stress disorder, were observed, particularly in people with allergic diseases. In recent years, new birth cohort studies have been initiated to complement the studies designed to collect information across multiple generations, such as the Lifelines study in the Netherlands and the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC) study in the UK. It is desirable to assess the effects of COVID-19 to complement the existing cohort studies in Japan as well.

“…O enfrentamento à VDFM no contexto de pandemia, engloba a necessidade de compreender de que forma a pandemia é um fator de risco nesse tipo de violência. Apesar da violência contra as mulheres ser uma realidade que existe independente do isolamento social, estudos tem apontado que essa problemática é agravada pelo momento atual (Abuhammad, 2020;Bradbury-Jones & Isham, 2020;Graham-Harrison et al, 2020;Espinosa-Bejarano, 2020;Nittari et al, 2021;Noman et al, 2021;Suga, 2021;Valera, 2020). Nesse sentido, a gestão de riscos torna-se imprescindível, conforme afi rmou Lobo (2020): "É sobre essa pandemia de violência doméstica, um surto longevo, cabe dizer, cuja responsabilidade é de todos nós, que também devemos nos preocupar e buscar soluções".…”

“…Daí, emerge a seguinte questão: Como se deu essa redução local, com um cenário geral internacional e brasileiro de agravamento dessa violência? Diversos trabalhos internacionais, como os de Abuhammad (2020); Espinosa-Bejarano (2020); Bradbury-Jones & Isham (2020); Graham-Harrison et al (2020); Nittari et al (2021); Noman et al (2021); Suga (2021); Valera (2020), sustentam a tese de um aumento generalizado dos casos de VDFM. Em todos os estudos foi verifi cado que o isolamento social acarretou algum tipo de consequência na problemática da VDFM, tais como: agravamento das lesões das vítimas de VDFM (Nittari et al, 2021) e aumento do número de denúncias (Abuhammad (2020); Espinosa-Bejarano ( 2020 O estudo contribui por descrever o caso de um estado brasileiro que apresentou resultados inversos com a redução de casos registrados de VDFM.…”

Relatórios de organizações internacionais e notícias veiculadas na mídia têm apontado o aumento do número de casos de violência doméstica e familiar contra a mulher -VDFM, durante a pandemia da Covid-19. Diante disso, é fundamental compreender a efetividade das políticas públicas desenvolvidas. O objetivo deste trabalho é analisar as dimensões dos riscos nas políticas de combate à VDFM no período de crise sanitária. A pesquisa utilizou um desenho qualitativo de estudo de caso único, sendo a unidade de caso o Departamento de Atendimento a Grupos Vulneráveis - DAGV e, como sujeito da pesquisa, a Delegacia de Atendimento à Mulher - DEAM. A técnica de análise de conteúdo foi utilizada em quatro entrevistas concedidas por servidores do quadro do DAGV. Também foi realizada análise documental em 210 inquéritos abertos entre maio e julho de 2020. Verificou-se que o rol de medidas protetivas de urgência trazidas pela Lei Maria da Penha - LMP - e demais instrumentos de gestão de risco contribuem com a efetividade dos trabalhos da rede de apoio e enfrentamento à VDFM. Porém, há fragilidades que devem ser corrigidas, tais como estrutura física do DAGV, ampliação do efetivo policial, atualização e ampliação do Formulário Nacional de Avaliação de Riscos, atuação multidisciplinar articulada e atualização de práticas de gestão gerencial em toda a rede de apoio. O trabalho contribuiu com a identificação de fatores de riscos no atendimento inicial às vítimas e também na fase de andamento do inquérito. Por fim, faz a apresentação de sugestões para mitigá-los e/ou evitá-los. ABSTRACTReports from international organizations and news broadcasted in the media have pointed out the increase in the number of cases of domestic and family violence against women - VDFM, during the Covid-19 pandemic. Given this, it is essential to understand the effectiveness of the public policies developed. The objective of this paper is to analyze the dimensions of risks in policies to combat VDFM in the period of health crisis. The research used a qualitative design of single case study, being the case unit the Department of Attendance to Vulnerable Groups - DAGV and, as subject of the research, the Police Station of Attendance to Women - DEAM. The technique of content analysis was used in four interviews given by employees of the DAGV. Documentary analysis was also carried out in 210 inquiries opened between May and July 2020. It was verified that the list of urgent protective measures brought by the Maria da Penha Law - LMP - and other instruments of risk management contribute to the effectiveness of the work of the network of support and confrontation to the VDFM. However, there are weaknesses that must be corrected, such as the physical structure of the DAGV, expansion of the police force, updating and expansion of the National Risk Assessment Form, articulated multidisciplinary action, and updating of management practices throughout the support network. The work contributed with the identification of risk factors in the initial care to the victims and also in the progress phase of the investigation. Finally, it makes suggestions to mitigate and/or avoid them.
