“…Studies carried out involving the practice of nurses in coping with SA against women recommend the following: promoting prevention and coping actions against SA, with dissemination of cores and referral centers; seeking, with managers, greater attention to this topic; requesting training, teaching materials and actions with the community; systematically including the study of SA during the graduation of nurses, guaranteeing students the opportunity to participate in the care of women in situations of violence; and training professionals of the Basic Health Units to know how to deal with the theme safely and decisively. 17,25,33,34 However, a study 35 conducted with health professionals from a primary care service to analyze professional practices in health care for women in situations of violence, warns of the 'psychologization of violence'. The authors report that professionals understand that the best and most appropriate care for these women is referral to psychology and mental health services, because, according to then, the resolution of issues related to situations experienced by women in SA situations would be directed to the Psychology service, recognized as qualified to address complex situations.…”

“…Este fenômeno vem ganhando visibilidade, tornando-se alvo de debates e estimulando o surgimento de legislações específicas, como a Lei Federal 10.778/2003, que determina a notificação compulsória nas situações de violência contra a mulher em serviços de saúde, e a Lei 11.340/2006, conhecida como Lei Maria da Penha, que preconiza meios para combater a violência doméstica e familiar contra a mulher (3)(4)(5)(6) .…”

“…Pesquisas registram que mulheres que sofreram violência procuram mais os cuidados em serviços de saúde, locais em que podem romper o silêncio sobre a situação de violência doméstica vivenciada. Assim, as Unidades Básicas de Saúde são a "porta de entrada" e grande possibilidade para a identificação desse tipo de violência e acolhimento da mulher (4,7) .…”

“…Tudo isso contribui para dificultar o conhecimento dos fatores relacionados às causas desse tipo de violência, podendo-se inferir: o uso abusivo de álcool e outras drogas, doenças mentais, dominação masculina enraizada na cultura e a diferença socioeconômica entre mulheres e homens. 7 A violência sexual, embora não seja a mais prevalente, pode levar a consequências tão ou mais significativas que as demais formas, 8 contudo poucas são as pesquisas existentes que investigam seus fatores associados, o que torna importante a realização de estudos que possam entender essa problemática e com isso contribuir para políticas e estratégias de combate e prevenção de novas ocorrências. 9 A necessidade de abordar esse problema deve ser um compromisso político para promover a saúde da mulher, dar maior visibilidade à questão e poder planejar meios que modifiquem a realidade evidenciada.…”
