O processo de enfrentamento às violências contra crianças e adolescentes na atenção primária em saúde: uma avaliação em profundidade

Abstract

In this study we sought to understand the coping process to violence against children and adolescents in primary health care. It is an evaluation research with a trend towards in-depth evaluation. Initially presented an analysis of reported cases of domestic violence in health services in Fortaleza, in the period 2008-2013, in relation to sex, race, education, type of violence, through aggression, place of occurrence and likely aggressor. Then the cases were analyzed SER V, denser region and one of the lowest HDI of Fortaleza. The research was quantitative and qualitative approach and a critical and reflective analysis from technology used and documentary research, participant observation, focus group and in-depth interviews with professionals and family members of the committee. It was found that professionals and family members use the notification as a punitive act, not as breaking the chain of violence, as suggested by the official discourse of morbidity and mortality reduction policy due to violence. In the view of family, violence is associated with prejudice, lack of policies that assist children with substance abuse and the lack of access to quality public services. There was a significant lack of knowledge between work and family as well as the bodies of the safety net victims of violence. The Prevention Commission to Abuse in primary care proved to be a forum for discussion on the rights and duties of children and adolescents, but the institutions of the safety net the victim of violence can’t give an answer to the most complex cases. The tutelary Council estimates that the discontinuity of protection policies for children and adolescents and political interference hamper the autonomy of professionals regarding the approach and referral of cases.
