The experience of helplessness or abandonment during pregnancy affects the emotional state of women, hindering their disposition in taking care of themselves and their baby. The aim of this study was to understand the emotional experience arising from intra-family violence experienced by institutionally sheltered adolescent mothers and pregnant adolescents. This study is exploratory, descriptive, clinical and qualitive. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with a psychologist from the institution and with six adolescents in the institution: one pregnant girl and five mothers. The data showed that helplessness was experienced by participants both during their pregnancy and throughout their lives. The institution was found to be the only place of protection, care and support for adolescents in the puerperal pregnancy period. The adolescents' mothers had also experienced abandonment by either their family members or their partners and the adolescents themselves repeated this abandonment with their own children. This study concludes that violence has consequences for the lives of adolescents, causing immense suffering and a transgenerational repetition of violence, demanding greater prevention and intervention.
Objectives to determine how Family Health Strategy professionals recognize and deal
with domestic violence in pregnant women. Method qualitative study based on the Theory of Praxis Intervention in Collective
Health Nursing (TIPESC). Fourteen professionals at a Basic Health Unit in
the east side of Sao Paulo/Brazil were interviewed. Empirical data were
categorized and discussed in thematic groups. For data analysis was used the
technique of Discourse Analysis. Results we identified low number of reported cases of domestic violence; lack of
education and training of health care professionals; failure in the
identification and intervention process due to bias on their personal
problems, moral attitudes and prejudice against these women. In addition,
the study showed that their labor process was based entirely on the
biological aspects of the women and to overcome this, they need of proper
rapport between health care professionals and pregnant women to deal with of
domestic violence. Conclusion professionals should develop skills to intervene in violence against
pregnant women and also modify labor processes considering women in their
totality and part of society.
Resumo Os termos Violência Doméstica (VD) e Violência Intrafamiliar (VI) são identificados na literatura com significados ora semelhantes, ora distintos. O objetivo deste trabalho foi identificar, analisar e compreender o uso dos termos VD e VI em artigos acadêmicos na área da psicologia. O método utilizado foi a revisão sistemática. Os termos VD e VI foram pesquisados nos artigos on-line da Revista Psicologia & Sociedade. Identificaram-se 46 artigos, sendo o uso do termo VD unânime quando se refere à violência de gênero e contra a mulher; já quando a violência se refere às crianças e adolescentes, observou-se uma maior diversidade no uso dos termos, e com relação à violência contra idosos, a prevalência foi do termo VI. Conclui-se sobre a importância de não reduzir o significado dos termos culminando em uma compreensão limitada ao âmbito microssocial, mas ampliando as reflexões acerca dos conceitos de forma a englobar também dimensões macrossociais.
O presente artigo apresenta uma análise sócio-histórica sobre sentimentos e afetividades, no intuito de respaldar a reflexão sobre o sofrimento ético-político vivido pelos catadores na execução de suas atividades laborais. A pesquisa foi realizada por meio da observação participante e entrevistas semiestruturadas com cinco catadores de materiais recicláveis. A análise dos dados revela as emoções mais frequentes, que são a vergonha e a humilhação, decorrentes sobretudo da discriminação e do preconceito. Em contrapartida, tornar-se catador pode ser também fonte de alegria. De um lado, por motivo ético, ou seja, pela possibilidade de o indivíduo recuperar a própria dignidade ao se inserir e ser reconhecido socialmente como trabalhador honesto, distinto de mendigos e de bandidos. De outro lado, por lhe dar a oportunidade de organizar-se e mobilizar-se coletivamente na luta por melhores condições de trabalho e de vida. Palavras-chave: catadores de material reciclável; sofrimento ético-político; potência de ação.
