Paternidade: responsabilidade social do homem no papel de provedor

OBJETIVO: Analisar os significados atribuidos a paternidade por homens que sao pais. DELINEAMENTO DO ESTUDO: Estudo realizado em Joao Pessoa, PB, em 2003, desenvolvido sob abordagem qualitativa e enfoque teorico de genero. Os participantes do estudo foram dez homens, cujos filhos eram atendidos no ambulatorio de puericultura de um hospital escola. As informacoes analisadas foram obtidas por meio de entrevistas semi-estruturadas. Os depoimentos foram analisados pela tecnica de analise critica do discurso. ANALISE DOS DISCURSOS: Os sujeitos do estudo concebiam a paternidade como um novo encargo social, vinculando-a mais a provisao material da familia do que ao espaco de envolvimento afetivo com o(a) filho(a). Entretanto, os participantes experimentavam um processo de transicao no qual o pai tradicional convivia entre aqueles cuja dimensao afetiva da paternidade apresentava-se como eixo central de preocupacao do ser pai. CONCLUSOES: O significado e o exercicio concreto da paternidade situaram-se num campo de responsabilidades que predominantemente reproduzem o pai tradicional mas tambem recriam o papel de pai, com inclusao da dimensao afetiva.

Characteristics of violence against children in a Brazilian Capital

The purpose of this exploratory, descriptive and retrospective study with a quantitative approach was to characterize violence against children in Curitiba. Reports of 2004 through 2008 about compulsory denouncements of violence cases were analyzed. The results showed an increase in violence, with home violence as the most frequent type and five to nine-year-olds as the most affected group, and negligence and physical violence as the most denounced forms of violence. Almost 81% of the sexual violence is performed against girls and the father is the main aggressor, showing inequality in gender relations and between generations. The importance of notification as a visibility instrument is highlighted. Other confrontation measures are necessary though, such as the promotion of equitable relationships of gender and generation, and cross-sectional policies that involve the social segments in a praxis that transforms reality.The purpose of this exploratory, descriptive and retrospective study with a quantitative approach was to characterize violence against children in Curitiba.

Domestic violence against women from the perspective of the community health agent

This study addresses violence against women from the perspective of Community Health Agents and related care practices developed at the basic care level. It aims to understand their opinions and care practices in daily care delivery in order to support training of workers on this theme. The theoretical-methodological reference was gender violence as a social construct and ideology as a social product and guider of health care practices. Data collection was carried out through a questionnaire with closed questions addressing these professionals’ positions in relation to facts in the care delivery context. The results showed that positions and conceptions are mostly supported by common perceptions, that is, they do not differ from women victims of violence or lay people in general, which leads to the conclusion that it is necessary to broaden the discussion of this problem, introducing the gender perspective in the acknowledgement and care of women.

[The evaluative limits and possibilities in the family health strategy for gender-based violence].

The study aimed to understand the evaluative limits and possibilities of the Family Health Strategy (FHS) in acknowledging and confronting the health needs of women experiencing gender-based violence. This was a case study with a qualitative approach, conducted in a Basic Health Unit that operated under the FHS in São Paulo (SP). Data were collected through interviews with health professionals of the multidisciplinary teams, and women users of the service who experienced gender-based violence. The results were analyzed according to the analytical categories: gender, gender-based violence and health needs. Medicalization was seen as the most significant limitation of professional practice. Moreover, there were opportunities related to the bond afforded by the logic of attention brought by the FHS. Such possibilities, however, were still curtailed by the limitations of the biomedical model and the absence of specific technologies to deal with violence.The study aimed to understand the evaluative limits and possibilities of the Family Health Strategy (FHS) in acknowledging and confronting the health needs of women experiencing gender-based violence.

A autonomia como necessidade estruturante para o enfrentamento da violência de gênero

Objetiva-se apresentar categoria referente a necessidades relacionadas a autonomia, reconhecidas pelos profissionais da Estrategia Saude da Familia no que concerne a atencao a saude de mulheres que vivenciam violencia. Para a producao do material empirico foram feitas entrevistas com profissionais de saude que compoem as equipes da ESF e com mulheres usuarias do servico. Os significados conformam a necessidade de autonomia relacionada a mulher como sujeito na tomada de decisoes. Entretanto, alguns significados revelaram o reducionismo que se traduz na desresponsabilizacao do servico em relacao ao problema. A autonomia financeira foi um aspecto convergente entre os discursos dos profissionais e das usuarias do servico de saude. Concluiu-se que para o enfrentamento da violencia e fundamental a inclusao da perspectiva de genero tanto nas politicas de saude quanto nas praticas concretizadas no processo de trabalho, condicao que abre possibilidades de respostas a necessidades praticas e estrategicas de genero, contribuindo para a reducao da iniquidade entre homens e mulheres e a promocao da emancipacao feminina.The objective if this article is to present a category regarding the needs related to autonomy, recognized by professionals working in the Family Health Strategy (FHS), in terms of the health care for women who experience violence. To produce the empirical material, interviews were performed with health care professionals that comprise the FHS teams and with women users of the service. The meanings confirm the need for autonomy related to women as subjects in making decisions. However, some meanings revealed the reductionism that is translated by the de-responsabilization of the service in relation to the problem. Financial autonomy was a converging aspect among the discourses between the health service professionals and users. In conclusion, in order to deal with violence, it is essential to include the gender perspective in the health policies as well as in the practices implemented in the working process. This condition would open windows of opportunity of answers to the practical and strategic needs of the gender, and, thus, contribute to reducing the inequity between men and women and promote female emancipation.
