Condições da saúde psíquica de mulheres vítimas de violência doméstica: uma revisão integrativa da literatura

Abstract

The present study aimed to raise the state of the art about domestic violence against women with a focus on psychosocial developments and the losses faced by victims of this form of violence. Empirical articles published in Brazil between 2011 and 2021 were reviewed, accessed from SciELO, PePSIC, LILACS and BVS databases using the following descriptors: Violence And Domestic Violence And Women. A total of 6,448 articles retrieved and taking into account defined inclusion criteria, only seven studies were included for the integrative review. The results revealed that victimized women tend to have reactive conditions with significant losses in their lives in at least three analytical dimensions: mental health, socialization and work. The studies are discussed from the understanding of domestic violence as a complex phenomenon that deserves to be addressed, in addition to legal issues, also from the perspective of public health.
