Abstract

The purpose of the study was to learn about the perception of Family Health Team professionals from the Violence Prevention Program regarding primary interventions to prevent domestic violence. The study was linked to the research "Primary and secondary intervention in domestic violence from the perspective of primary healthcare professionals". The approach of this research was qualitative and exploratory. Data were collected from semi-structured interviews. The participants were four nurses and four physicians. Three categories emerged in the analysis of the theme: knowledge of primary interventions to prevent violence; execution of primary intervention actions to prevent violence - ease and difficulties; and acknowledgement of the importance of primary interventions and the care provided. The professionals were previously aware of the main primary interventions, and some were already taking place in the multidisciplinary work.

Highlights

  • In contemporary society, domestic violence is becoming more and more frequent, as it becomes a growing problem associated with the social, economic, and cultural context in which it emerges

  • Considered a serious healthcare issue because of the physical and psychological damage that it causes, the violence experienced in the family environment affects individual and collective health, and results in losses that are momentary but affect every aspect of life.[1]

  • Knowing the connection between and the important role played by the health professionals who work at the UBESFs in the city with the communities they assist, the purpose of this study was to understand the perception of the Family Health Teams in the PPV area regarding primary interventions to prevent domestic violence
