| Summary: | Actions against violence are not the responsibility of the health sector alone. They require an intersectoral network support.
This is a research based on the Grounded Theory method, approved by the Ethics Committee. Fifty-two professionals
working in the Family Health Strategy were interviewed in order to understand the meanings attributed by these professionals
concerning women in situations of domestic violence. Women in domestic violence situations are referred to a
psychologist and a social worker from the Family Health Strategy Nucleus. Some centers were mentioned as external
referrals: Reference Center, Women’s Police Station, Institute of Forensic Medicine and hospital space or maternity. However,
the lack of knowledge about the services and intersectoral disarticulation harms women’s care. Knowledge about the
services, understanding about the flow and intersectoral coordination are the improvements suggested. |
