Journal Title: Revista Eletronica de Enfermagem - Year 2012, Vol 14, Issue 4
Abstract
The objective of this study was to identify the conduct of community health agents (CHA) of the Family Health Strategy in cases of suspected or confirmed family violence. This qualitative, descriptive study was performed by interviewing CHAs. The content analysis of the data revealed two categories. The first refers to tracking domestic violence against women. In this category, community health agents reported suspected or confirmed cases and their form. The second category consists of reports regarding the conducts that were adopted, revealing the possible approaches used with victims and the limitations of the service. Results showed that community health agents identify domestic violence, thus indicating the need to establish strategies that contribute with improving women’s care and preventing family violence
