Violence in the Nursing Workplace in the Context of Primary Health Care: A Qualitative Study.

Violence demands considerable attention due to its complexity and social consequences. The objective of this study was to analyze violence in the nursing professional workplace in the context of primary health care in Brazil. It is a qualitative study with theoretical and methodological reference to institutional analysis. It was carried out in basic health units in Brazil. Nursing professionals (N = 11) participated in semi-structured interviews and discussion groups, in addition to a research diary and participant observation. Data collection took place from October to December 2021. The results are presented in five categories: types of violence and aggressors from the perspective of nursing professionals; the causes of violence reported by professionals; strategies for the management of violence; professionals' proposals for preventing violence in health contexts; the consequences of violence in the workplace. Nursing professionals make up a large part of the workforce and have reported verbal, physical, moral, and psychological violence. The main causes are associated with user access to services. For the prevention of violence, professionals do not see themselves as protagonists of change. The consequences are the loss of quality of work and the health of professionals who requested sick leave and transfers. The study's findings can help in the development of public policies and educational and management actions.

Women and leprosy: interferences and experiences.

OBJECTIVE: to know the interferences of leprosy in women's lives and how they reinvent themselves in coping with the disease. METHOD: a descriptive study with a qualitative approach. The theoretical-methodological framework adopts an approximation to the cartographic method and some concepts of schizoanalysis, which were used to analyze the data. The tools used to produce the data were the interview and the logbook. The interviews were conducted from July to November 2019, at the participants' homes. RESULTS: the group consisted of nine women. To display the data, we were inspired by Deleuze's ideas about difference and repetition. The results were organized in three thematic axes that address the lives of these women affected by leprosy, which accompany concerns, anxieties and worries about the effects of the disease. The transformations in the female body, the financial maintenance itself due to the comorbidities caused by leprosy and its difficulties in guaranteeing rights are elements strongly pointed out by women. CONCLUSION: there is overlap and interference of the female condition in a patriarchal society that still accompanies it. We bet on the strength of becoming-a-woman and the need to consider them in their singularities and in their context for producing care permeated by meetings of the affirmation of the power of life.

Resumo Objetivo: conocer las interferencias de la enfermedad de Hansen en la vida de las mujeres y cómo se reinventan en el afrontamiento de la enfermedad. Método: estudio de abordaje cualitativo. El marco teórico-metodológico adopta un acercamiento al método cartográfico y algunos conceptos de esquizoanálisis, que fueron utilizados para analizar los datos. Las herramientas utilizadas para producir los datos fueron la entrevista y el libro de registro. Las entrevistas se realizaron de julio a noviembre de 2019, en los domicilios de las participantes. Resultados: el grupo estuvo compuesto por nueve mujeres. Para presentar los datos, nos inspiramos en las ideas de Deleuze sobre la diferencia y la repetición. Los resultados se organizaron en tres ejes temáticos que abordan la vida de estas mujeres afectadas por la enfermedad de Hansen, que acompañan inquietudes, angustias y preocupaciones sobre los efectos de la enfermedad. Los cambios en el cuerpo femenino, la manutención económica propiamente dicha debido a las comorbilidades provocadas por la enfermedad de Hansen y sus dificultades para garantizar los derechos son elementos fuertemente señalados por las mujeres. Conclusión: hay una superposición e interferencia de la condición femenina en una sociedad patriarcal que aún la acompaña. Apostamos por la fuerza del devenir-mujer y la necesidad de considerarla en sus singularidades y en su contexto para la producción de cuidados forjados por encuentros para afirmar el poder de la vida.

Objetivo: conhecer as interferências da hanseníase na vida das mulheres e como elas se reinventam no enfrentamento da doença. Método: estudo de abordagem qualitativa. O referencial teórico-metodológico adota uma aproximação ao método cartográfico e alguns conceitos da esquizoanálise, que foram utilizados para analisar os dados. As ferramentas utilizadas para produção dos dados foram a entrevista e o diário de bordo. As entrevistas foram realizadas no período de julho a novembro de 2019, no domicílio das participantes. Resultados: o grupo foi composto por nove mulheres. Para apresentar os dados, nos inspiramos nas ideias de Deleuze relativas à diferença e repetição. Os resultados foram organizados em três eixos temáticos que abordam a vida dessas mulheres afetadas pela hanseníase, os quais acompanham inquietações, angústias e preocupações frente aos efeitos da doença. As alterações no corpo feminino, a própria manutenção financeira devido às comorbidades causadas pela hanseníase e as suas dificuldades nas garantias de direitos são elementos fortemente apontados pelas mulheres. Conclusão: há sobreposição e interferência da condição feminina em uma sociedade patriarcal que ainda a acompanha. Apostamos na força do devir-mulher e na necessidade de considerá-la em suas singularidades e em seu contexto para a produção do cuidado permeado por encontros de afirmação da potência da vida.
