METHODS: Documentary and descriptive study with a qualitative approach. The documentary search happened through the access to the E-mec website for the identification of public Higher Education Institutions for undergraduate nursing degree in Brazil. The menus available online from educational institutions that contained the terms "woman" and "violence" were analyzed. Data processing took place using the IraMuTeQ software, and they were analyzed using the Descending Hierarchical Classification technique. RESULTS: The analysis by the software resulted in an important degree of utilization (72.95%), since, of the 244 segments of texts from the menus, 178 were retained. The analysis by the Descending Hierarchical Classification resulted in four thematic categories: Violence against women as a pathological process linked to sexual and reproductive health; Women's Health: Care, epidemiological, social and cultural aspects; Gender as an analytical category; and Children's and Adolescents' Care. CONCLUSIONS: It was found a connection between the terms "woman" and "violence" to the sexual and reproductive aspects of women (physiological and pathological natures) susceptible to intervention; however, the gender approach is recognized as an analytical category for understanding the vulnerabilities of the female audience to illness and violence.

Cyberbullying e violência de gênero em jogos online / Cyberbullying and gender violence in online games

A pesquisa teve como objetivo identificar a percepção de mulheres jogadoras online quanto às manifestações de violência no espaço virtual. Trata-se de estudo transversal, descritivo e qualitativo realizado entre julho e novembro de 2018 nos municípios de Juazeiro do Norte e Crato, Ceará, Brasil, utilizaram-se roteiros semiestruturados para as entrevistas que foram processadas pelo software IRAMUTEQ, versão 0.7 alfa 2. Participaram 13 mulheres, entre 20 e 35 anos, solteiras e estudantes. A partir dos dados coletados, se elaboraram duas categorias temáticas. A primeira aborda os tipos de violência sofrida em jogos online, com destaque para a psicológica, materializada em xingamentos e assédio sexual; e a segunda, as motivações da violência sexual em jogos online como resultado, em parte, da presença de mulheres nesse ambiente. Concluiu-se que a violência de gênero está presente em todos os espaços onde as mulheres se inserem, incluindo os virtuais. Assim, incentivar a denúncia e punição de agressores e a fiscalização desses locais pode democratizar tais ambientes.

It is a cross-sectional descriptive study using qualitative research, with violence in the virtual environment as a variable. It started in July 2018 and it finished in November 2018. Data were acquired in two cities: Juazeiro do Norte and Crato (State of Ceará, Brazil). It was used a semi-structured interview which has been finished with saturation. All interviews were processed by the software IRAMUTEQ, v0.7 alpha 2. During the research process 13 (thirteen) female players participated, most of them are 20 to 35 years old, students and single. From the responses collected, it was possible to elaborate two different thematic categories: The first one addresses the types of violence suffered in online games, with emphasis on the psychological one, materialized in swearing and sexual harassment; and the second, the motivations of sexual violence in online games as a result, in part, of the presence of women in this environment. It was concluded that gender abuse happens in every single male dominant environment (such as online gaming). Thus, encouraging the reporting and the punishment of aggressions, and the inspection of these environments can democratize such spaces.
