Violência contra a mulher ou mulheres em situação de violência? Uma análise sobre a prevalência do fenômeno

Objetivo Refletir sobre as possíveis diferenças entre os termos “violência contra mulher” e “mulheres em situação de violência” com base na análise da ocorrência de violência íntima. Métodos Trata-se de um estudo transversal com uma amostra de 640 mulheres com idade entre 20 e 64 anos, em quatro unidades de Saúde da Família do município de Nova Iguaçu (RJ). Para aferição do evento, foi utilizada a versão em português do instrumento Revised Conflict Tactics Scales, que avaliou as formas – e suas interseções – de violência física, psicológica e sexual sofridas e perpetradas pelas mulheres ao menos uma vez na vida. Resultados Estimou-se a prevalência das três formas de violência íntima praticadas contra a mulher (9,8%; IC95%: 7,5/12,1), pela mulher (4,5%; IC95%: 2,9/6.1) e nos casos que a mulher foi vítima ou perpetradora dos atos (13,1%; IC95%: 10,5/15,7), assumindo-se neste trabalho como violência no casal. Conclusão Na tentativa de melhor entender a dinâmica da violência íntima, seria oportuno considerar a mobilidade de papéis na relação do casal para além da demarcação de gênero – histórica e por vezes imobilizadora – entre vítima e agressor.

Práticas dos profissionais das equipes de saúde da família voltadas para as mulheres em situação de violência sexual

Este trabalho apresenta os resultados de uma pesquisa desenvolvida com profissionais que atuam no Programa de Saúde da Família - PSF no Estado de Minas Gerais. O objetivo foi analisar as práticas destes profissionais voltadas para mulheres em situação de violência sexual. Os dados foram coletados em uma Oficina de Trabalho tendo como suporte teórico para a análise as categorias gênero e violência de gênero. Constatou-se que a violência sexual contra a mulher envolve questões nas dimensões singular, particular e estrutural da realidade objetiva, que merecem ser refletidas pelos profissionais de saúde. O atendimento às mulheres em situação de violência sexual só poderá ser eficaz à medida que houver um trabalho intersetorial, com políticas públicas claras e eficazes e com o adequado preparo dos profissionais de saúde.

Thugs: Vítimas e/ou Agentes da Violência?

A Cidade da Praia deparou-se nos últimos anos com ondas preocupantes de violência juvenil urbana, por suposta culpa de uma nova figura social emergente – os thugs. O seu surgimento como um movimento associativo juvenil relacionado a actos delinquentes, enquadrado num contexto social desigual, visa buscar estratégias de afirmação pessoal e social. Não obstante as várias tentativas político-constitucional em os controlar, as bruscas mudanças verificadas nas últimas décadas, numa sociedade com marcas históricas de situações violentas, desencadearam comportamentos de reivindicação juvenil, influenciados por valores reproduzidos de outros contextos, constituindo-os como uma tribo urbana violenta, sem nada a perder. Esta comunicação propende compreender em que medida esses jovens agruparam-se como um movimento capaz de fazer tremer os alicerces sociais instituídos, partindo dos possíveis desencadeadores da violência por eles propagados..

Thugs: Vítimas e/ou Agentes da Violência?

Este artigo pretende analisar a reacção violenta verificada nos últimos anos nos jovens auto-proclamados thugs para com a sociedade praiense, identificando-os como um movimento associativo juvenil, relacionados a actos delinquentes, ancorados nas reorganizações sociais resultantes da individualização social de uma sociedade contemporânea com características híbridas. Analisa-se o agrupamento dos jovens em gangs, reproduzindo características tribais urbanizadas onde a violência aparece como um meio possível de reivindicação social, fazendo tremer os alicerces sociais instituídos.

Prevalência da violência praticada por parceiro masculino entre mulheres usuárias da rede primária de saúde do Estado de São Paulo

OBJETIVOS: Avaliar a prevalência e fatores associados à violência praticada por parceiro íntimo (VPI), entre mulheres usuárias das Unidades Básicas de Saúde (UBS) do Estado de São Paulo. MÉTODOS: Foi realizado um estudo descritivo de corte transversal, a partir da análise secundária de dados de entrevista a mulheres usuárias de 75 UBS de 15 Departamentos Regionais do Estado de São Paulo, no período de Agosto/2008 a Maio/2009. Foi utilizado questionário baseado no Abuse Assessment Screen e o Conflict Tactics Scales modificado pelo Violence Against Women Study (VAW), estruturado e pré-testado. As variáveis estudadas foram os tipos de VPI (psicológica, física e sexual) e variáveis sociodemográficas (idade, escolaridade, cor da pele, trabalho remunerado, religião, estado marital e classe econômica). Foram entrevistadas 2.379 mulheres de 18 a 60 anos. RESULTADOS: A prevalência de VPI durante a vida foi de 55,7%, sendo a psicológica, física e sexual de 53,8, 32,2 e 12,4%, respectivamente. As mulheres sem companheiro, mas com casamento anterior, com escolaridade <8 anos e da classe econômica mais baixa tiveram maior risco para todos os tipos de VPI, outros fatores ainda foram associados à VIP psicológica e sexual. CONCLUSÕES: A prevalência de VPI nas UBS do Estado de São Paulo é alta. Os profissionais de saúde da atenção primária devem atentar para a detecção da VPI.

Violência institucional no âmbito da saúde reprodutiva : a percepção de mulheres usuárias do SUS, na cidade de Natal/RN

Institutional violence ranges from the most widespread lack of access to the poor quality of services provided. It includes abuses committed by virtue of the unequal power between patients and professionals within institutions. The aim of this study was to analyze the perception of women with regard to this type of violence, in the services offered at a reproductive health facility belonging to the National Health System (SUS) in Natal, Brazil. Interdisciplinary perspective is important, in that it provides interaction and complementarity between various disciplines, favoring, in an integrated way, a thematic approach in research activities, teaching and extension, involving professionals, students and researchers in medicine, social services, psychology, nursing, anthropology and physical therapy. A quantitative/qualitative approach was used, involving a sample of 401 women, as part of a transversal observational study. In the qualitative stage, which consisted of participatory observation and semi-structured interviews, we used an intentional sample of 10 individuals. The data were analyzed using logistic regression techniques, correspondence analysis and categorical thematic content analysis, showing that the 2 questions that investigated directly the perception of institutional violence obtained affirmative response frequencies of 28.2% and 31.8%, respectively. In regard to data collected in a field diary related to participatory observation, the main complaints referred to the health providerpatient relation, translated into dissatisfaction with the interpersonal relationship and with the resolution of the specific demand that required care. From content analysis, we classified 4 categories: Access; Information; Health professionalpatient relation; and Respect/dignity. We identified 6 subcategories: Impossibility of choice; Repressed demand; Communication difficulty; Asymmetric interpersonal relations; Privacy/confidentiality; Disrespect. We concluded, therefore, that the data presented show that in the reproductive health care programs, there are indicators of institutional violence. However, it is difficult to approach this phenomenon, mainly because of the power relations involved in the patient-health care provider interaction, resulting from unawareness that determinate situations violate sexual and reproductive rights. This can be explained by sociostructural questions that reveal marked inequalities, ratified by issues related to violation of the rights of National Health System (SUS) patients

Alcoolemia em vítimas fatais de acidentes de trânsito no Rio Grande do Norte empregando cromatografia em fase gasosa - head space

Alcohol is one of the few psychotropic drugs that their consumption has admitted legally and sometimes encouraged by the society. Studies show alcohol as the highest consumption of drugs among young people and society in general, probably because of its availability and easy access. The abuse causes public health problems, which was closely related to the violence, socioeconomic problems and the high number of automobile accidents. Transit is one of the main sectors affected by the effects of alcohol, observing a high incidence in the studies. About half of automobile accidents occurs after the consumption of alcoholic beverage, and the vast majority of cases related to high concentrations of alcohol in the bloodstream. The relationship of drunk with traffic accidents is in fact evident everywhere in the world, including Brazil, where studies have shown a high relationship between alcohol consumption and traffic accidents. This study determined the alcohol in fatal victims of traffic accidents in the state of Rio Grande do Norte and established the profile of this population compared with those found in Brazil and other countries. Samples of blood of ethanol added to fulfillment of the standardization of chromatographic conditions and procedures for the analysis, being employed in the determination of alcohol in blood samples of 277 victims of traffic accidents, collected at the Institute of Scientific Technical Police of Rio Grande do North (ITEP) in the year 2007. The blood alcohol level was determined in these samples correlated with the sex, age and marital status of the victim and the location, day of week and month when the accident occurred, is doing a statistical analysis and outlining a profile of the victims of an accident at transit in the state of Rio Grande do Norte. The parameters of standardization studied ensured the quality of the analytical method and, consequently, to obtain reliable laboratory results. Being given the best temperature for injector (150 ºC), detector (250 ºC) and column (50 ºC) with a flow of gas in the column of 2mL/minutos and analysis of time of 12 minutes. The method was linear in the range of 0.01 to 3.2 g / L (r2 = 0.9989) with average recovery of 100.2% and precision with coefficient of variation less than 15%. The analysis carried out on victims of fatal road traffic accidents, ethanol detected in the blood in 66.43% of the victims and these, 96% showed concentration ≥ 0.2 g / L, 87.73% of victims were male, while 12.27% female. The younger age group (1535 years) was the most involved (52,35%) and most single (55.60%). The accidents occurred with greater prevalence in the day on Monday (27%) followed by Sunday (24,19%) and Saturday (15,52%) and it was found that the prevalence of injuries varied between the different months of the year, and in February (14.4%) and April (10.47%) the months that had a higher number of accidents, however this oscillation showed no statistically significant difference. Also no significant difference was observed between the tracks of concentration found in men and women. The standardized method showed to be efficient, given satisfactorily to the goals of this work, and the high levels of alcohol found in victims of fatal road traffic accidents are consistent with several studies of literature, and the profile of the victim also supported by presenting in its most young adults, male and single
