Factors associated to the imposition of types of violence against women informed in sentry services

Authorship SCIMAGO INSTITUTIONS RANKINGS

OBJECTIVE:

to identify the prevalence and the factors associated to the imposition of the different types of violence against women informed in sentry services.

METHOD:

transversal study accomplished through 939 notification forms of cases of violence against women, referring to the three years from 2006 to 2008 in Fortaleza, Ceará. Univariate and multiple analyses by logistic regression were realized.

RESULT:

the results showed a positive association between the imposition of types of violence against women with a schooling varying from illiterate to basic education and the aggression which had occurred other times.

CONCLUSION:

this knowledge contributes to the delineation of specific actions that aim at facing this problem, as well as generates subsidies for adequate attendance proposals and guidance for the victims who call on health services.
