          Abstract

          O artigo objetiva: (a) analisar a distribuição dos casos de violência doméstica contra a mulher (adolescente e adulta) em relação ao atendimento emergencial por causas externas; (b) caracterizar as vítimas e o atendimento prestado; (c) analisar as circunstâncias em que ocorreram esses eventos. Procurou-se articular as abordagens quantitativas e qualitativas. O estudo foi desenvolvido em dois hospitais públicos de referência situados no Município do Rio de Janeiro. Das 72 mulheres atendidas, a maioria referiu como agressor o esposo/companheiro/namorado (69,4%) e sofreu agressões por espancamento (70,4%), sobretudo na região de face e cabeça. Conclui-se que o atendimento emergencial deve prestar uma atenção clínica e cirúrgica de qualidade, mas também ser capaz de desencadear ações preventivas.

          Quantitativo-qualitativo: oposição ou complementaridade?

          Este trabalho resume um debate metodológico em processo na Escola Nacional de Saúde Pública, Brasil, sobre as duas formas de abordagem mais correntes nas investigações da área de saúde: o método quantitativo e o método qualitativo. Os autores - uma antropóloga sanitarista e um bioestatístico - demonstram, com argumentações teóricas e práticas, que esses métodos são de natureza diferenciada, mas se complementam na compreensão da realidade social. Num mundo onde o que distingue o ser humano é a linguagem comunicativa, o acento deste debate recai sobre a possibilidade, o significado e os limites da linguagem matemática e da linguagem de uso comum na experiência cotidiana.

            Prevalence of intimate partner abuse in women treated at community hospital emergency departments.

            The majority of prior studies examining intimate partner abuse in the emergency department (ED) setting have been conducted in large, urban tertiary care settings and may not reflect the experiences of women seen at community hospital EDs, which treat the majority of ED patients in the United States. To determine the prevalence of intimate partner abuse among female patients presenting for treatment in community hospital EDs and describe their characteristics. An anonymous survey conducted from 1995 through 1997 inquiring about physical, sexual, and emotional abuse. Eleven community EDs in Pennsylvania and California. All women aged 18 years or older who came to the ED during selected shifts. Reported acute trauma from abuse, past-year physical or sexual abuse, and lifetime physical or emotional abuse. Surveys were completed by 3455 (74%) of 4641 women seen. The prevalence of reported abuse by an intimate partner was 2.2% (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.7%-2.7%) for acute trauma from abuse, 14.4% (95% CI, 13.2%-15.6%) for past-year physical or sexual abuse, and 36.9% (95% CI, 35.3%-38.6%) for lifetime emotional or physical abuse. California had significantly higher reported rates of past-year physical or sexual abuse (17% vs 12%, P<.001) and lifetime abuse (44% vs 31%, P<.001) than Pennsylvania. Logistic regression modeling identified 4 risk factors for reported physical, sexual, or acute trauma from abuse within the past year: age, 18 to 39 years (odds ratio [OR], 2.2; 95% CI, 1.7-3.0); monthly income less than $1000 (OR, 1.7; 95% CI, 1.3-2.1); children younger than 18 years living in the home (OR, 2.0; 95% CI, 1.5-2.6); and ending a relationship within the past year (OR, 7.0; 95% CI, 5.5-8.9). If the prevalence of abuse in community hospitals throughout the United States is similar to the range of prevalence estimates found in this study, then heightened awareness of intimate partner abuse is warranted for patients presenting to the ED.

              Mujeres de Guadalajara y violencia doméstica: resultados de un estudio piloto

              La violencia doméstica contra la mujer es un problema médico social que continúa soslayado por las instituciones, no sólo de salud, sino en general por la sociedad mexicana. Existen incipientes investigaciones que muestran la magnitud de este fenómeno. Se realizó una encuesta piloto en 57 mujeres de Guadalajara, México, seleccionadas mediante un muestreo polietápico. Se encontró que el 46% de las mujeres habían sufrido de violencia. El perpetrador más frecuente fue el compañero/esposo (73%). De las mujeres que han sufrido de violencia por parte del esposo, la violencia emocional se identificó en el 33%, la violencia física con 19% y la sexual con 12%.
