“…The absence or lack of knowledge concerning the existence of the assistance network contributes to make the professionals who work in primary care feel limited or incapable of approaching the question in their practice, as observed by Schraiber et al 17 in a primary care unit in the city of São Paulo (Southeastern Brazil), Kronbauer & Meneghel 10 in Porto Alegre (Southern Brazil), Moreira et al 12 in Natal (Northeastern Brazil), Lettiere et al 11 and Vieira et al 20 in Ribeirão Preto (Southeastern Brazil). A similar situation was observed in the United States, in which professionals did not routinely investigate situations of violence among the assisted women because they were not suffi ciently trained for that, they had little time for the assistances and considered that effective measures would not be adopted to solve the problem.…”

OBJECTIVE:To estimate the prevalence of violence in women who are primary healthcare users and to verify if these situations were detected and how they were tackled by these services' professionals. METHODS: RESULTS:A specifi c protocol for assisting women in situations of violence was mentioned in fi ve municipalities. The majority (83%) of the coordinators reported that situations of violence among female users were detected, although 74% said this was not routinely investigated, which was confi rmed by 72.3% of the professionals. Among the women, 76.5% reported having experienced some type of violence throughout their lives, and 56.4% said that an intimate partner was the perpetrator of that violence; almost 30% reported at least one episode in the 12 months prior to the interview; 6.5% reported looking for help at a Primary Healthcare Unit. CONCLUSIONS:A relevant proportion of users experienced violence in their daily routine, mainly perpetrated by an intimate partner. Most of the women were neither identifi ed nor approached in these services and did not receive help. Although health managers and professionals realized the magnitude of the problem, they did not consider that primary care was prepared to assist these women. The study showed that there is no intersectoral care network to assist women in situation of violence.

“…The approach to women in situations of violence is essentially clinical and sometimes women avoid to inform professionals about the violence. There justifications ruled in great demand and limited number of professionals who require the service fast and focusing on the symptoms [6]. In general, situations of violence are not considered an emergency, unless the injury caused entail risk of death or sequelae unwanted pregnancy [30].…”

“…Professionals justify non-involvement by lack of services for effective interventions on the complexity of the phenomenon [6]. In this sense, the support of women is rooted in social assistance, represented by the social worker and the role of Non Governmental Organizations, NGOs, which reinforces the exclusion of the subject of the health [12].…”

“…Women it is the condition of subjection to man of breeding, caring for and primarily responsible for the education of children, and these roles naturalized and reproduced. When use of violent men reaffirm the dominance of the female body and the oppression of women, as phenomena that were seen as natural attitudes in social relations and can only be resolved in the private sphere [6,11,36,37].…”

“…While men tend to suffer violence, in general, are practiced in a public space, women, in general, suffer daily with a phenomenon that manifests itself in their own homes and, the majority of times it is practiced by partners and family members. It is comprehended as a powerful instrument, resulting of genre, social class, race, ethnicity and generation inequalities [3,6]. It is a violation to human rights, to life and to health, involving multiple social segments.…”

The aim was to know how health assessment to women in violence situation is developed. Literature review on LILACS and MEDLINE databases was conducted in April 2013 with the descriptors: “domestic violence” and “women’s health”, on a 1994-2012 timeframe. Statistics characterization and content theme analysis of the scientific production were developed. Results showed that the assessment is permeated by institutional limitation and an approach strictly clinical that makes identification and diagnosis of violence difficult, reinforcing invisibility in health care. Professional assessment is influenced by socio-cultural and the naturalization of the phenomena, which is not considered a public health issue. Technical knowledge is insufficient, making the possibility of promoting violence cycle rupture difficult. However, we envisage reception as a possibility to assess female demands. We conclude the need to include the theme in health undergraduate courses and also the urgency of this learning experience to support a multidisciplinary and intersectoral work web. Thus, rethinking assessment as a way of (re)organizing how health care is structured in order to compose an assessment web to women and guarantee reception of their demands is needed. Else, constructing competence allied to coping public policy to the problem and guaranteeing a human and full assistance will stay only on the academic field, constituting itself as a limit on protecting life of these women and their families.

Past studies on intimate partner violence (IPV) have revealed mixed findings about its prevalence across gender. Some support gender symmetry in IPV, such that that men and women are equally likely to perpetrate IPV; others show evidence of gender asymmetry, such that men are far more likely to be perpetrators in a violent intimate relationship. This paper reviews the literature on gender symmetry in IPV. Explanations have been suggested for the discrepancy in past findings, including gender differences in reporting styles. Most studies have pointed to a possibility of under-reporting in both men's and women's self-reports of IPV, although the patterns of under-reporting vary. Factors affecting the reporting patterns across gender, the limitations of existing studies and suggestions for future research on gender differences in IPV reporting are also discussed.
