RESUMO
A violência por parceiro íntimo é um problema global e mais comum sofrida pelas mulheres. Este estudo explorou barreiras aos serviços de saúde relacionadas à violência por parceiro íntimo entre mulheres imigrantes de língua portuguesa em Toronto, Canadá. Estudo exploratório de discussões em grupo com 12 mulheres imigrantes de língua portuguesa. Os resultados esclarecem lutas enfrentadas pelas mulheres imigrantes e seus caminhos para cuidar e buscar ajuda. O medo de serem deportadas, a obtenção de evidências de abuso e a falta de serviços no idioma específico foram as barreiras relatadas. Fé e religião foram apontadas como fatores-chave no apoio a resiliência das mulheres, quando disponíveis os serviços comunitários no idioma específico. Enfermeiros que prestam assistência às mulheres que lidam com a violência por parceiro íntimo devem repensar o escopo de suas ações de defesa para abordar essas barreiras estruturais, construindo alianças com organizações para melhor servir e proteger as mulheres em situações vulneráveis.
ABSTRACT
Intimate partner violence is a global health issue and the most common form of violence experienced by women. This study explored barriers to accessing help to Intimate partner violence related health services among Portuguese-speaking immigrant women in Toronto, Canada. Exploratory study conducted by a survey and focus group discussions with 12 Portuguese-speaking immigrant women. Results clarify the struggles faced by Portuguese-speaking immigrant women and their pathways to care and help-seeking. Participants reported that the fear of being deported, obtaining evidence of abuse, and lack of language-specific services were the key barriers to seeking help. When available, language-specific community-based services, along with faith and religion, were noted as key factors that supported women's resilience. Nurses who provide care and services to women who are dealing with Intimate partner violence should rethink the scope of their advocacy actions toward addressing these structural barriers by building alliances with organizations to better serve and protect women in such vulnerable situations.
