“…The present study aimed to better understand the relationship between psychosocial variables and different frequency levels of violence that were reported in different-sex and same-sex relationships, considering a culturally specific approach. Investigating these variables may be key to comprehend this phenomenon given their recognized importance (Cañete-Lairla & Gil-Lacruz, 2017).…”

“…Practitioners working in intercultural contexts should take note that IPV encompasses distinct causes, correlates, and consequences in diverse cultural milieus (Ali et al, 2016). This implies not only that rates of IPV vary in cultural groups and societies, but also that cultural factors may play a role in IPV (Garcia-Moreno et al, 2006) and should be taken into consideration when intervention efforts are designed in order to contribute to significant advances in prevention and treatment (Cañete-Lairla & Gil-Lacruz, 2017). Furthermore, for policy-makers and public-health stakeholders, tailored campaigns toward prevention and increasing help-seeking behaviors among IPV victims (such as reaching out to helplines) may need to consider culture, gender, and sexual orientation (Reis et al, 2020).…”

Intimate partner violence (IPV) has been recognized as a threat to the well-being of women and men in different-sex and same-sex relationships worldwide. Research on this topic has been increasing, but more information on the variables associated with IPV may improve responses to IPV prevention and intervention. With this study, we aim to analyze the relationship between psychosocial variables and frequency of IPV, in potential male and female victims in different-sex and same-sex relationships. Three hundred four participants (232 women-76.3%; 72 men-23.7%) were recruited via an online survey, and inquired on sociodemographic data, suffered violence using the Conflict Tactics Scale-2 (CTS-2), and psychosocial variables (e.g., familiar isolation, self-esteem, selfblame, dependence). Overall, higher frequency of violence was associated with higher family and social isolation for both female and male participants. For female participants, a model that considers both sociodemographic variables and psychosocial ones (e.g., social isolation, submission, dependence) best predicted frequency of experienced violence (R 2 = 33.1%). For males, only three psychosocial variables predicted experienced violence (e.g., social and familiar isolation, and submission), and retained more explicative power (R 2 = 41.3%). No significant differences were found in the victimization between victims in different-sex and same-sex relationships, but family isolation was higher in same-sex relationships. Our findings shed light on relevant variables and their potential contribution to explain the frequency of violence among male and female participants, in different and same-sex relationships. Future prevention and treatment interventions could be improved by taking into consideration the relevance of these variables.

BackgroundWorldwide, domestic violence (DV) is a cause of death and disability among women aged 15–49 years. In Pakistan, DV appears in different forms, and only 3.2% of women report any DV. There are various factors associated with DV against women. The data are sparse for the Balochistan province due to the under-reporting and scattered population. This research study aims to determine the factors associated with DV and the types of violence among women of reproductive age. Also, to understand the perspective of community leaders and healthcare workers (HCWs) for developing interventions for DV prevention against women of reproductive age in Quetta Balochistan.Methods and analysisA sequential explanatory mixed-method (quantitative study followed by qualitative) study design will be used to fulfil the study’s objectives. Women of reproductive age (15–49 years), both married and unmarried, local residents, community leaders and community HCWs of Quetta Balochistan, will be made part of the study. A structured questionnaire will be used as the quantitative tool. Focus group discussions will be conducted using a semistructured guide for the qualitative data collection. The multivariable logistic regression analysis will be performed for the quantitative part. P value ≤0.05 will be considered significant. In the qualitative part, data will be transcribed, and recurrent themes/subthemes will be developed to understand the perspective and opinion regarding DV prevention.Ethics and disseminationEthical Approval was taken from Aga Khan University, Karachi, Pakistan. Informed written consent will be obtained from all participants. The article will be published after data collection and analysis in the journal to disseminate the results.

“…In the context of health, there is evidence of biological, neurological, psychological and behavioral impacts for women who experience violence and for their families, configuring a health risk factor (3) . Some of these consequences are depressive (10) and anxiety (11) disorders, abortion (11)(12) , sexually transmitted infections, unwanted/unplanned pregnancy (12) and lower quality of life (13) ; also, low self-esteem, family and social isolation (14) , as well as the consumption of legal and illegal substances (2) . IPV is also directly related to lower wellbeing of children (15) .…”

Objectives: to discuss the meanings attributed by professionals to the construction of the service network for women in situations of violence. Methods: Convergent Care Research developed with the application of a convergence group with 32 participants from the health, social assistance, or public security sectors, in Santa Maria, Rio Grande do Sul. The data was produced during ten meetings, based on the problematization methodology, and submitted to analysis of thematic content and interpreted with the referential of networks. Results: the construction of the network is an artisanal work carried out by people continuously, permeated by bonds, communication and partnerships between services and knowledge of work processes. Lashings require permanent movement. Final Considerations: building a network implies defining intertwining lines; form nodes that create cross-sector connections. There is a need to institutionalize processes through care continuity protocols, associated with an efficient communication system between sectors.
