INTRODUCTION

Currently, the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (Covid-19) is considered the greatest worldwide threat to public health, being characterized as a pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11^th, 2020. Until August 23^th, 2020, 23,057,288 cases and 800,906 deaths were confirmed worldwide, and in Brazil there are 3,532,330 cases, with 113,358 deaths.

One of the main recommendations and strategies of the international health agencies to prevent or reduce viral circulation and consequent disease, is social isolation and lockdown.² Such a strategy, legitimized by the scientific evidence, exposes a paradox: the greatest risk of people suffering domestic violence (DV). International^3-27 and national^28-31 studies ratify the rise in violence against children, adolescents,^{3,11,13,31-35} women^14,36-38 and most vulnerable populations, in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic, due to vulnerability,^{6-7,15,17,24,34,36,38-45} stress,^{4,14-15,30,39,41} economic shock^8,24,46 and the situation of social isolation to contain the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus.^{3-5,8-24,26,28,29-31,46-47}

At the same time that there is an increase in cases of DV, a number of studies^4,36,41,48 highlight a reduction or temporary closure of government services related to health, education, social assistance, of the third sector and community that welcome, identify, notify and assist children, adolescents and women in coping with DV, a fact that amplifies the vulnerability of this population. Therefore, in order to make visible the impacts that the closure of these services causes, a number of studies^{3,6,11,31-33,35,43} pointed to the need for the journalistic and scientific media to emphasize the intensification and worsening of DV. A reflective American study, carried out during the current pandemic, added in its results that the figures regarding the perpetuation of DV can be outdated, since many women still remain without access or possibility to report their cases.³⁸

In this sense, the health professionals faced an important challenge to cope with two public health problems, the pandemic and DV against children, adolescents and women.^28,48 In view of the above, this scoping review aims to contribute to the services and professionals working on these public health problems by gathering the available recommendations from the production of knowledge generated by the Covid-19 pandemic. The novelty and originality of this study is reiterated by bringing this discussion in an articulated manner among the populations mentioned, as well as contextualized to the Brazilian scenario, which is still incipient with regard to productions in the area. These elements can contribute to the qualification of intersectoral health care for children, adolescents and women. Therefore, the objective of this study was to map the recommendations of coping strategies for violence against children, adolescents and women in the context of social isolation due to Covid-19.

METHOD

In this study, the proposal of a Scoping Review was adopted, according to the Joanna Briggs Institute(JBI) method.⁴⁹ This is a study search method to map scientific evidence related to key concepts in a particular area of interest. The categories used include effectiveness, suitability, meaning and applicability of health practices and scientific methods.^49-50

The Population, Concept and Context (PCC) strategy was used to construct the research question. The following were defined: for Population (P), women, children and adolescents from 0 to 19 years old, considering the WHO age criterion;⁵¹ for Concept (C), domestic violence, the description of the Mesh descriptor “Deliberate, often repetitive physical, verbal, and/or other types of abuse by one or more members against others of a household”. Regarding Context (C), social isolation at home during the SARS-CoV-2 and Covid-19 period. Based on these definitions, the guiding question was established: what is the production of knowledge about coping strategies for violence against children, adolescents and women in the context of social isolation due to Covid-19?

In this sense, an initial search of the studies was carried out in the period of July 2020, with the following keywords: domestic violence and Covid-19, in the Scientific Electronic Library database (SCIELO) and with the keyword domestic violence on the Pubcovid-19 platform, which features articles published on Covid-19 and indexed in the National Library of Medicine (Pubmed) and EMBASE platforms. First, titles, abstracts and descriptors were read. The selected studies that answered the guiding question of this review were read in full and their references were analyzed in search of additional studies.

The terms used for each selected database were specified and defined after the first search. Descriptors and keywords were established for the effective search in other databases and data platforms. The descriptors and their respective synonyms defined in Portuguese, Spanish and English, according to DeCS and Mesh, were the following: criança/niño/child*, Adolescente/Adolescente/Adolescent, Mulheres/Mujeres/Women, Violência Doméstica/Violencia Doméstica/Domestic Violence, Maus-Tratos Infantis/Maltrato a los Niños/Child Abuse, Maus-Tratos Conjugais/Maltrato Conyugal/Spouse Abuse, Violência por Parceiro Íntimo/Violencia de Pareja/Intimate Partner Violence, Covid-19. Along with the descriptors, the following Boolean terms were used: AND, OR and NOT, so as to compose the search formulas to be used for searches in the databases.⁵²

In this sense, searches were carried out in the databases of Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences (Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde, LILACS), National Library of Medicine (PubMed), The Cochrane Library, The Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL) (via the EBSCO platform), and on the Web of Science and Institutional Repository for Information Exchange (IRIS) of the Pan American Health Organization. As for the gray literature, the search was carried out by the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher-Level Personnel Portal (CAPES Portal). The references listed in the studies found were also searched, in order to identify additional documents for potential inclusion in this review.

The inclusion criteria for the selected studies were primary studies with a quantitative approach (randomized or non-randomized clinical studies, quasi-experimental studies and observational studies), qualitative, quanti-qualitative and mixed. Experience reports were included, as well as literature reviews (integrative, scoping, systematic, meta-analysis and/or meta-synthesis), and guidelines. The languages of the studies were English, Spanish and Portuguese, without limitation regarding year of publication, as recommended by the JBI, published or made available until July 2020. Regarding the exclusion criteria, books and abstracts of scientific events were excluded, as well as and other studies that did not answer the research question.

The search and selection process for the studies in this review is shown in Figure 1, following the JBI recommendations, according to a checklist adapted from the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA).⁵³

Figure 1 -
Search strategy used for the scoping review, adapted from PRISMA.

The studies included in this review must answer the study question and inclusion criteria. Of the 526 studies found, the titles and abstracts were read by two reviewers and a third, as recommended by the JBI. A study was added by the authors by the area of expertise and to answer the review question. Of these, 372 were selected for meeting the inclusion criteria established in this review. Among those selected, 74 studies were chosen for full reading, 15 of which were excluded for not answering the review question related to the Concept and Context strategy. The final sample totaled 59 studies analyzed and included in this review.

The study data were extracted using an instrument structured by the researchers, according to JBI guidelines, which included: study title, journal, year of publication, database, country of origin, language, methodological design, type of publication, objective, introduction, guidelines or reflections on the theme. The main recommendations for the care of children, adolescents and women in situations of violence during the period of social isolation due to SARS-CoV-2 and Covid-19 were also classified. These recommendations were grouped into conceptual categories.

RESULTS

Of the 59 studies selected, the majority (53%-89%) was in the English language and was carried out by multicenter studies, among them by the World Health Organization (13%-22%). The other studies focused on different continents such as America (USA, Brazil, Peru), Asia (India, Philippines), Europe (Italy, France, England), Oceania (Australia) and Africa (South Africa). Regarding the type of publication selected, in this review, in the databases, the types of studies varied largely as reflections and opinions of experts (37%-63%), literature reviews (7%-12%), guideline (6%-10.2%), scientific article (5%-8%). In the gray literature, field notes (2%-3.4%), and documentaries and reports (2%-3.4%) were identified.

In relation to the recommendations, it was decided to present and discuss the results through conceptual categories, formulated from reading the material mapped in this review, called as follows: prevention; identification and intervention; continued care; care for the safety and mental health of the professionals; intersectoriality/interdisciplinarity; and special care for vulnerable populations. These categories worked on the logic of the comprehensive care line for children, adolescents and women and are shown in Table 1.

DISCUSSION

The studies selected for the present review provided important care recommendations for children, adolescents and women in situations of DV. Some of these recommendations can help to cope with violence and guarantee access to services of the care network for people in situations of violence in the Brazilian context. However, it is important to emphasize that, based on the diversity of states and cities, such recommendations must be adapted to the organizations of the local and regional networks.

Thus, examples of planning and implementing actions for the professional practice and guidance to the population and community were raised, in view of the increase in interpersonal violence previously observed in natural disasters, health emergencies and infectious epidemics, such as the Zika virus and Ebola.^{14,21,37,43,69,71}

Some studies have brought preventive recommendations, which permeate sensitized views on violence, especially on the part of the community and society, in addition to the recommendation to increase the number of teams and new forms of assistance and care for violence.²⁸ Some countries have developed preventive and informational actions linked to continuous and intersectoral care; for example, in Spain⁶⁶ awareness campaigns about the increase in DV during the pandemic were promoted and services to combat these types of violence were considered as essential for them to work 24 hours a day. In addition, new access lines and “panic” buttons were made available in applications to request help, an action also carried out in India.^59,66 The American College of Surgeons has created recommendations to reduce injuries due to firearms and sought to work on ways to safely store these weapons in the domestic environment.⁷²

Also in the preventive aspect, actions to promote accessibility are recommended, such as the production of reports on violence in Braille and Libras,⁴ in addition to providing the population with information regarding reproductive and sexual health, the signs of violence and the possibilities of help and protection services.^{4,8,14,16-18,48,33,16,54,17,55-58} Maintaining safe contact with the support network was also a preventive action with protective potential.^39,14,33,39 Sensitizing and raising the community's awareness of such issues instrumentalizes both the subjects who are inserted in a violent context and their support networks.

Furthermore, it is also important to sensitize the aggressors, removing the logic of blaming the person who suffers violence and assuming an immutable, aggressive and dominating character for men, and submissive for women. Awareness coupled with the construction of coping strategies for the perpetrators of violence, enable joint solutions to this problem. Such a strategy is advocated in Law No. 11,340 of 2006 - the Maria da Penha Law - which provides, in addition to punishing the aggressor, awareness and resocialization measures.⁷³ Even with the Maria da Pena Law, it is necessary to increase services that raise awareness and discuss machismo with the male population.

It is worth mentioning that, in April 2020, a technical note from the Prosecutor's Office was published in Brazil for the adoption of preventive measures and a contingency plan for the prevention and repression of cases of violence in the context of the pandemic.⁷⁴ However, it is important to reflect on how it is operationalized. As an example, there are prevention measures through campaigns, where actions were carried out and disseminated on YouTube and on television nationwide, highlighting the forms of violence and the hotline for reporting cases. However, such disclosure did not include interpretation of Libras with audio description, which prevents access to information to people with hearing and visual impairments. In addition, there was no disclosure in the regional locus of the availability of services for children, adolescents and women, which limits the visibility of access to the services of the care network. It is important to note that the adoption of strategies in addition to online dissemination is extremely necessary, especially in the Brazilian context, where nearly 46 million people do not have Internet access.⁷⁵

In general, the fact was also highlighted that the changes brought about by the pandemic are generating tension and intrafamily stress, by intensifying coexistence and feelings of fear, overexposure of the media,¹³ economic and social crisis,³⁷ work overload and increased use of alcohol and other psychoactive substances.³⁹ In view of this, most of the recommendations regarding the prevention of violence against children, adolescents and women presented mental health promotion measures, guidance and stress reduction focused on parents, caregivers and intimate partners, possible perpetrators of violence.^{4,11,14-15,30,39-40}

The recommendations related to “Identification and intervention” reinforced the importance of the professionals, especially in health, to remain sensitive to situations of violence and to the review of care protocols to guarantee immediate, safe and continuous care for children, adolescents and women. The studies brought the relevance of expanding human resources so that they also have a broader look at health situations, in addition to commitments related to Covid-19.^15,29 These populations must be asked at all times if they are feeling safe at their homes, with privacy and respect for the choice of the adult woman.^19,54

It is relevant to reflect that health professionals have difficulties in assisting people in situations of DV, either due to discomfort, low training or ignorance of the care protocols, which generates the referral of the person to another professional or service.⁷⁶ In the pandemic scenario, this can intensify, since the centrality of care is directed at people with signs and symptoms of Covid-19, accentuating the difficulty in identifying cases of DV by the professionals who already presented them.

In parallel, schools must promote training for teachers to identify and refer children and adolescents with signs of violence to protection services in remote education.²¹ Radiologists must pay attention to the characteristics of the injuries, reviewing medical records to verify if discrepancies occur between the report and the radiological findings.²⁹ Police officers must provide safe and effective responses;¹⁹ the professionals who manage prenatal and puerperium must be sensitive to greater incidences of depression and DV.¹⁰ In addition, in the case of children and adolescents with suspected injuries derived from violence, hospitalization or immediate referral to protective services must be carried out, given the period of peculiar development of this population and distancing from the main protective institutions.^15,62

A national qualitative study, carried out before the new coronavirus pandemic, sought to understand how the professional practices silence intrafamily violence against children and adolescents. It was emphasized that reductionist actions by the professionals compromised the reception, notification and monitoring of these cases, contributing to the invisibility of this violence.⁷⁷ Such practices can be accentuated in the context of the pandemic and hinder proper reception and notification of violence since children, as they are not the main risk group, may not reach the health services. In addition, with home visits suspended, knowledge about the health needs of this population can be made invisible.

Recommendations were presented for the articulation of services and professionals in the safety network, guaranteeing that they act in person, online, over telephone lines or other means, without interrupting the functioning of the services and the necessary care for children, adolescents and women.^{4-5,8-10,15-16,24,30,38,41,44-46,55,61,64} In the Italian context, for example, empty hotels and inns were transformed into shelters for victims of DV, providing new spaces for the care of this population.⁴⁶

In order to enable the assistance and monitoring of these services to maintain quality, it is essential that the professionals are trained and receive the necessary support to work remotely.^10,28,48,61 In this type of service, inclusion care measures to maintain the safety of children, adolescents and women are necessary, thinking that the perpetrator of violence may be in the same environment.^8,42,54,58 Once again, great challenge is faced to provide this continued care also to people without Internet access.

Primary Health Care (PHC) is one of the gateways for people in situations of violence; however, it is important to contextualize that remote and non-remote care, in the context of the pandemic, can be compromised. The pandemic exposed difficulties in the Brazilian public health system such as underfunding and, in the current government, defunding, as well as the freezing of public spending by Constitutional Amendment EC95 and the changes imposed by the new National Primary Care Policy.^78-79 Such difficulties, in addition to actions to restrict care in PHC, have hampered strategies for monitoring health situations and problems treated in the PHC network. However, we believe that the strategies presented in this review, such as networking and the sensitization of the professionals, can be applied to the Brazilian reality.

Even with the attempt of continuous care and maintenance of the intersectoriality between the protection services for DV, national data show a decrease in the number of police reports at the beginning of the pandemic, as the victim should be in person at the police station.⁸⁰ From the moment the pandemic intensified in the national territory, there was a 431% increase of publications on Twitter with complaints about aggression through the telephone service of the military police and an increasing number of femicides, while the urgent protective measures, which should be granted by the Courts of Justice, have not changed and are falling.⁸⁰ Reflections are also made on the care for children, adolescents and women in situations of violence during Covid-19 in Brazil, given the national political crisis that has generated polarization of understandings and behaviors;⁸¹ it is reiterated that, before the pandemic, DV was already outlined as a complex phenomenon and almost inaccessible by the professionals.⁷⁷

At the national level, only in July 2020, Law 14,222 was enacted, which provides for measures to cope with domestic and family violence against children, adolescents and women during the Covid-19 pandemic. Among other aspects, the law guarantees the following: that there will be continuity in the processes and public security with the implementation of an electronic police report or by telephone; and that virtual assistance does not exclude the obligation of the government to maintain in person assistance.⁸² Thus, given the complexity of violence, it is important to understand the uniqueness of each case, which will require different ways of coping and caring, such as the need for care as close to the person as possible.

Another important aspect brought by the studies in this review was the need for greater attention and care for the professionals, especially health professionals, who have faced a scenario of great stress, stigmatization and isolation.¹⁴ The fact that a large contingent of women work in the health area makes them also vulnerable to situations of violence in the workplace.¹⁴ For these reasons, it is important to guarantee the professionals care and emotional support;^10,41,54,69 reduction of work stress through job rotation; implementation of flexible schedules^4,41 and stimulating the search for support groups.¹⁵ In addition, the managers must promote continuing education^10,28,48,61 and safety plans,¹⁴ as well as provide personal protective equipment.⁴¹ It must be considered that there is a need for long-term plans to monitor these professionals and their families.³⁹ An integrative review sought to discuss the occupational and psychological impacts of pandemics on health professionals and the studies have shown that such situations are related to stress, anxiety and depressive symptoms. The importance is reinforced of new institutional processes to face these moments, as endorsed by the studies in this review.⁸³

Finally, the recommendations of this review brought the importance of the theme of DV against children, adolescents and women to be treated as an intersectoral issue and that requires interprofessional action,^4,13,46 corroborating studies in the area.^84-85 The importance of looking at vulnerable populations was also reinforced, namely: people with disabilities, chronic problems and in situations of poverty, discrimination or conflicts,^{4-5,15-16,40-41,44,54,58,61,64} as these are more likely to be marginalized during or after the pandemic.⁴⁵

The limitations of this study were mainly related to the types of studies included; the lack of primary articles can compromise the construction of relevant recommendations. The scarce number of Brazilian articles also compromises the construction of contextualized recommendations for this scenario. The practical implications of the study are summarized in the results table and can be adapted to those already existing in the line of care for children, adolescents and women in situations of violence.

CONCLUSION

This study brought recommendations for coping strategies for DV against children, adolescents and women, considering the current pandemic scenario by Covid-19. Preventive strategies must be expanded, especially in the context of mental health, articulating care for children, adolescents and women, as well as for possible perpetrators of violence against this population, in addition to community awareness. The professionals, especially health professionals, must be sensitive and alert to signs of violence, intervening immediately and connected to the safety network. The services must guarantee continuous, intersectoral and safe care, especially in the new remote modalities, and must be characterized as essential in times of a pandemic. In this context, the professionals must be physically and emotionally cared for, and already marginalized populations must be seen in these even more adverse moments.

In light of the above, this study brings important recommendations that can be adapted to the Brazilian context, based on greater dissemination of preventive content to the community, which must be understood as a strategic agent in the support network; the review of care protocols; the perspectives for new service configurations of these services by managers and ensuring greater articulation between the different points of care for this population.

It is necessary to conduct empirical studies, which analyze and evaluate the identification of situations of violence in times of a pandemic and the access of children, adolescents and women to the services of the safety net.
