[The meaning of sexual abuse in the manifestation of corporeity: a phenomenological study]. / Significado da violência sexual na manifestação da corporeidade: um estudo fenomenológico.

This phenomenological study aimed at understanding the meaning of sexual abuse in the manifestation of corporeity. It was performed at an outpatient clinic for victims of sexual abuse from a teaching hospital in Curitiba/Brazil, from February to May of year 2007.

Thus, they will be able to help those victims transcend their experience and find a new meaning to their existence, and care delivery will be humanized, ethical and sympathetic.

[Profile of the violence committed against women assisted at Pousada de Maria lodging]. / Perfil da violência contra mulheres atendidas na Pousada de Maria.

This exploratory, retrospective study was performed at the Pousada de Maria lodging in Curitiba, Brazil in 2007, with the objective of characterizing the profile of the violence practiced against women staying at Pousada de Maria from 1993 to 2007. Data collection was performed by analyzing 886 records of the victims' registration and transcribed to an instrument formulated for the study. The victims were between 18 and 88 years old, with low education; they suffered physical, psychological, sexual and structural violence, mainly by their partners and acquaintances. They lived with violence to maintain their family union and decided to resolve the situation when they had access to social programs and shelters. Violence is a common phenomenon among single women with incomplete primary education; 24.6% suffered physical violence, 24.15% psychological, and 14.22% structural violence. Single women, whether in a common-law relationship or married, should be considered as an at-risk group and worthy subjects of attention by health professionals when planning preventive actions.

Feeling powerless: a feeling expressed by caregivers of sexual violence victims.

This phenomenological study aimed to reveal the meaning of providing care to victims of sexual violence. The study was carried out from December 2006 to March 2007 with 12 health professionals. Data were collected through tape-recorded semi-structured interviews, whose analysis followed the phenomenological trajectory. The following theme emerged: Feeling powerless, a feeling expressed by caregivers of sexual violence victims. The feeling of powerlessness is continuously fed by health professionals' daily routines, given the impossibility of solving situations of violence, of problems that emerge from the other's subjectivity, as well as social issues, because these professionals were not trained for that. Thus, it is essential to address the issue both in undergraduate and graduate programs in health and human areas. Institutions should promote continuing education so that these professionals can act properly.

In the relationship among the categories, the patterns of knowledge and the social role highlight the social-political knowledge, reflecting the profession maturation regarding intrinsic social issues, part of it social body; and extrinsic, the demands from society.

Fragments of feaale corporeality in victims of domesticviolence: a phenomenological approach / Framentos de corrporeidades femininas vitimas de la violencia conyugal: una aproximación fenomenológica / Fragmentos d corrporeidades femininas vítimas deviolência conjugal: uma aproximação fenomenológica

ABSTRACTThis was a phenomenological study undertaken at the Women's Police Station in Guarapuava in the Brazilian state of Paraná that aimed to understand the significance of living with the offender after filing a domestic violence report at the station. Data were collected by means of interviews with 14 women victims of domestic violence, who continued to live with their attackers after reporting them. The women's discourses were interpreted through the lens of the framework of French philosopher Maurice MerleauPonty. The results showed that the victims' body images were modified, distorted, and negative. Coexistence with the offenders was sustained through destruction and weakening of the victims' body image, thereby reducing their coping skills because they felt threatened, insecure, and inferior to the other, which perpetuated the cycle of violence. In conclusion, there is a need for professionals trained to capture the invisible beneath the visible, in order to take care of abused women in their multidimensionality.

RESUMEN Investigación fenomenológica desarrollada en Comisaría de la Mujer en Guarapuava, Paraná, que tenía como objetivo: comprender el significado de convivir con el agresor después de la delación de la violencia conyugal en la Comisaría de la Mujer. Los datos fueron recolectados a través de entrevistas a 14 mujeres víctimas de violencia doméstica que permanecieron en contacto con los asaltantes tras denunciar a ellos. Los discursos fueron interpretados a la luz del marco filosófico de Maurice Merleau-Ponty. Los resultados revelaron que los cuerpos femeninos víctimas de la violencia se dieron cuenta de su imagen corporal modificada, distorsionada y negativa. El sentido de la convivencia con el agresor encuentra apoyo en la destrucción del imagen corporal, que fue debilitado, lo que reduce las habilidades de afrontamiento de estos cuerpos, porque se han sentido amenazados, inferiorizados e inseguros frente al otro, lo que contribuyó a perpetuar el ciclo de la violencia. Así, podemos ver la necesidad de profesionales capacitados para capturar lo invisible en lo visible con el fin de hacerse cargo de esos organismos en su multidimensionalidad.

RESUMOPesquisa fenomenológica desenvolvida na Delegacia da Mulher em Guarapuava, Paraná, que teve como objetivo compreender o significado de coexistir com o agressor após a denúncia da violência conjugal na Delegacia da Mulher. Os dados foram obtidos mediante entrevistas com 14 mulheres vítimas de violência conjugal que permaneceram no convívio com os agressores após denunciálos. Os discursos foram interpretados à luz do referencial filosófico de Maurice Merleau-Ponty. Os resultados revelaram que os corpos femininos vítimas de violência perceberam sua imagem corporal modificada, distorcida e negativa. O sentido da coexistência com o agressor encontra sustentação na destruição da imagem corporal, que foi fragilizada, reduzindo as capacidades de enfrentamento desses corpos, por se sentirem ameaçados, inferiorizados e inseguros em relação ao outro, fato que contribuiu para perpetuar o ciclo da violência. Destarte, percebe-se a necessidade de profissionais capacitados para captar o invisível no visível, a fim de cuidar desses corpos na sua multidimensionalidade.

Violência institucional em unidades básicas de saúde sob o olhar de usuárias / Institutional violence in primary care centers, from the perspective of female service users / Violencia institucional en unidades básicas de salud bajo el punto de vista de usuarias

Trata-se de pesquisa descritiva e qualitativa, realizada em cinco Centros Integrados de Atendimento, de março a maio de 2010, com 30 usuárias que realizaram consulta de enfermagem para o pré-natal, planejamento familiar e exame preventivo de câncer de colo uterino. Objetivou-se conhecer a percepção das usuárias atendidas em Unidades Básicas de Saúde quanto à violência institucional na assistência à saúde da mulher. Os discursos foram coletados mediante entrevista semiestruturada e a partir da análise de conteúdo temática emergiu a categoria "Olhares sobre a violência institucional na assistência à saúde da mulher". Apesar da violência institucional se apresentar de forma oculta no cuidado a saúde das usuárias, e não ser identificada como tal, as participantes da pesquisa relataram insatisfação em relação ao acesso, acolhimento e atendimento prestados. Dessa forma, faz-se necessário refletir sobre a prática de enfermagem a fim de prevenir a violação dos direitos das mulheres na assistência à saúde.

This is descriptive and qualitative research, undertaken in five Integrated Care Centers, between March and May 2010, with 30 female service users who undertook nursing consultations for prenatal monitoring, family planning and screening tests for cervical cancer. The aim was to investigate the perception of female service users attended in Primary Healthcare Centers regarding the institutional violence in women's healthcare. The discourses were collected through semistructured interviews; based on the thematic content analysis, the category "Perspectives on the institutional violence in women's healthcare" emerged. In spite of the institutional violence being presented in a hidden way in the care for the service users' health, and not being identified as such, the study participants reported dissatisfaction in relation to the access, embracement, and the attendance given. As a result, it is necessary to reflect on the practice of nursing so as to prevent the violation of women's rights in health care.

Delinear o perfil de agressores detidos em flagrante delito e da violência que perpetraram contra mulheres no período de implantação e consolidação da lei Maria da Penha, em um município da região central do estado do Paraná. Métodos: Pesquisa retrospectiva documental, realizada mediante apreciação de 130 Autos de Prisão, analisados pela estatística descritiva. Resultados: Eram adultos jovens, casados, com baixa escolaridade e trabalho remunerado. 89,3% foram libertados sob pagamento de fiança. Eram, majoritariamente, cônjuges, que sob efeito de álcool, praticaram violência. Um número significativo já possuía outros registros de violência doméstica. Conclusão: A denúncia, como ação isolada, revelou-se insuficiente para interromper o ciclo da violência. É necessário voltar-se para além da denúncia, pela implantação de ações de enfrentamento articuladas entre os setores de saúde, educação, segurança, justiça e assistência social, voltadas à igualdade de gênero e a cultura de paz...

Processo de resiliência nas mulheres vítimas de violência doméstica: um olhar fenomenológico / Resilience in women victims of domestic violence: a phenomenological view / Proceso de resiliencia en las mujeres víctimas de violencia doméstica: desde una mirada fenomenológica

Pesquisa fenomenológica desenvolvida no Centro de referência e atendimento à mulher em situação de violência doméstica de Curitiba e região metropolitana, de abril a agosto de 2010, com cinco mulheres. Teve como objetivo desvelar a manifestação do processo de resiliência nas mulheres vítimas de violência doméstica. As descrições foram obtidas mediante entrevistas abertas gravadas e analisadas de acordo os seguintes momentos: descrição, redução e compreensão do fenômeno. Constatou-se que o processo de resiliência iniciou quando o agressor concretamente tentou matá-las, agredir e/ou matar os filhos. A ameaça à vida as fez saírem do estado de imobilidade, e a mobilização interna as colocou em movimento existencial, em busca de ajuda nas redes de apoio social que são fundamentais para o enfrentamento, pois possibilitam narrar o trauma vivido. A narrativa fez com que atribuíssem um novo significado ao sofrimento vivido e, desta forma, houve a superação e estímulo ao processo de resiliência.

This phenomenological study was developed in the Reference and care center for women victims of domestic violence in Curitiba, Brazil, and the metropolitan region, from April to August of 2010, with five women. The objective was to reveal the manifestation of the resilience process in women victims of domestic violence. The descriptions were obtained through open interviews and analyzed according to the following moments: description, reduction and understanding of the phenomenon. It was found that the resilience process started when the aggressor physically attempt to kill them, hurt and/or kill their children. The threat to their lives made them leave the state of immobility, and internal mobility set them into existential movement, to search for help in the social support networks, which are essential for their dealing with the situation, as they allow them to report the trauma they have experienced. The narrative implies the women attribute a new meaning to the suffering they experienced and, therefore, there was overcoming and an encouragement to the resilience process.

[The silent itinerary of people with HIV told through oral history]. / A trajetória silenciosa de pessoas portadoras do HIV contada pela história oral.

The emergence of AIDS as a social and historical phenomenon has brought along with it specters held in social imagination, aggravating the concept of plague, generating strong feelings and prejudice, becoming a stigma. Such factors ultimately affect HIV bearers' well being. Thus, this study aims to understand the dimension of the problem of HIV bearers who have not seeked treatment in the National Health System and the reasons which make this search so difficult. The adopted methodological approach was thematic oral accounts. Five HIV bearers collaborated in this study. By using content analysis, we observed that the study participants do not go to Health Units near their homes fearing to be identified, especially since they know they will certainly meet people from their neighborhood at the health units who do not know about their HIV diagnosis. Because of this fear, they anticipate they will suffer discrimination and stigmatization - due to the disease's social significance - and so, to protect themselves, they choose a secrecy that keeps them from trusting anyone and from seeking health care, thus increasing their personal suffering and vulnerability to develop AIDS.
