Percepção de profissionais de saúde sobre violência contra a mulher: estudo descritivo

“…The professionals interviewed acknowledge the different expressions of violence against women, which corroborates with the results of other investigations on the subject, such as a study carried out with professionals of the family health strategy team of a peripheral district of Campina Grande-PB (13) , and a research with nurses from Basic Health Units of Ribeirão Preto-SP (14) . A study with victims of intrafamily violence in the city of Pelotas-RS (15) and a research with women from a neighborhood of Salvador--Bahia (16) with history of marital violence, showed abuse of alcohol and/or other drugs as a factor which often leads to violence against women.…”

Women’s primary care nursing in situations of gender violence

“…In order to understand the reasons that led the woman to the situation of violence and sometimes remain in it, the professionals' objective must be to understand the experiences and feelings of the health service user. 20 However, attention to women in situations of violence goes beyond humanized care.

The Law nº 11.340/06, known as the Lei Maria da Penha [Mary Penha Act], which came into force in September 2006 in Brazil, establishes that every case of domestic and intrafamily violence is a crime, and it must be legally established through a police investigation and sent to the Public Prosecutor's Office.…”

“…Among the barriers and difficulties in attending to violence situations are the following: the feeling of insecurity by the professionals, absence of training, lack of academic instruction and lack of knowledge about case management, look widening to beyond biological complaints and the non-disclosure of the situation of violence by users, including underreporting of violence against women cases, even though compulsory notification to health professionals or caregivers is required. 8,10 Another study pointed out that doctors and nurses are the professionals who are least involved in the care of violence against women situations. Conversely, in many cases, these professionals are the ones most sought after by these users, since many families have a fragile bond with the basic health units, where the demand is exclusively for the fulfillment of spontaneous requests.…”
