The construction of care in assisting women in situations of domestic violence: perspectives of workers in the Family Health Strategy

Abstract

Domestic violence against women is a problem in the field of health, which has the Family Health Strategy (ESF) as an important way of coping. This study sought to understand the care practices for this public, elaborated by workers of the ESF and the Expanded Family Health Center. The research was marked by the advent of the coronavirus pandemic, which made it impossible to be present in the field, thus, the online semi-structured interview was used as the main source of data, and the Thematic Analysis as an analysis strategy. It is observed that the construction of care takes place mainly from the appreciation of light technologies and practical knowledge, which are manifested mainly through what the participants call “intuitive protocols”. The study also points out the fear of reprisals, the disengagement of moral judgments, the implication of the woman, the lack of knowledge about the assistance network and the absence of protocols as the main challenges to be overcome. It also reveals the importance of the protagonism of the knowledge elaborated in the live work in action for the formulation of care strategies, articulated with the National Policy of Integral Attention to Women's Health, in addition to the need for new productions with this perspective.
