Marital violence precipitating/intensifying elements during the Covid-19 pandemic

Resumo O estudo tem por objetivo identificar elementos precipitadores/intensificadores da violência conjugal em tempos de pandemia da Covid-19. Trata-se de uma revisão narrativa da literatura, tendo a busca sido realizada no mês de maio de 2020. Utilizou-se a plataforma PubCovid-19, a qual está indexada na Biblioteca Nacional de Medicina dos Estados Unidos (PubMed) e no Banco de dados Excerpta Medica (EMBASE). Para a realização da busca foram utilizados os seguintes descritores em inglês: "Domestic violente";"Covid-19"e "Intimate Partner Violence". Foram selecionados nove artigos para leitura na íntegra. A partir da exploração do material selecionado, foram elaboradas três categorias empíricas a saber: Instabilidade econômica, Uso/abuso de álcool e outras drogas e Enfraquecimento da rede de apoio da mulher. É importante que nesse contexto de pandemia, sejam ampliadas as redes de apoio à mulher em situação de violência conjugal, com destaque para o uso de tecnologias digitais como possíveis ferramentas para a triagem de casos de violência em tempos de pandemia. The study aims to identify marital violence precipitating/intensifying elements during the COVID-19 pandemic. This is a narrative review of the literature, and the search was carried out in May 2020. We employed the PubCovid-19 platform, which is indexed in the United States National Library of Medicine (PubMed) and the Excerpta Medica (EMBASE) database. English descriptors "Domestic violence", "COVID-19", and "Intimate Partner Violence"were used in the search, and nine papers were selected for full-text reading. Three empirical categories were elaborated from the exploration of the selected material: Economic instability, Alcohol and other drugs use/abuse, and Weaker women's support network. Support networks for women in situations of marital violence should be expanded in this pandemic context, with emphasis on the use of digital technologies as possible tools for screening pandemic-related violence cases.

Covid-19 Pandemic: reflecting vulnerabilities in the light of gender, race and class

Resumo O objetivo deste estudo é refletir os impactos da COVID 19, considerando marcadores de gênero, raça e classe. Trata-se de um estudo exploratório, com ênfase na análise de publicações selecionados, a partir de procura sistematizada em sites oficiais, bem como na plataforma PubCovid-19 que apresenta os artigos publicados sobre COVID-19, os quais estão indexados nas Pubmed e EMBASE. O trabalho foi pautado nos referidos documentos e construído com reflexões dos autores a partir das perspectivas dos marcadores sociais relacionados à gênero, raça e classe, os quais contribuem para o prognóstico da doença. A reflexão realizada com base na literatura analisada revelou que os marcadores de gênero, classe e raça se apresentam enquanto condição vulnerabilizadora à exposição da COVID-19 nos mais diversos cenários mundiais. Esse contexto descortina a necessidade histórica da implantação de estratégias de melhoria de vida dessa população não só durante a pandemia, como também após sua passagem. Para tanto, necessário se faz a adoção de políticas socioeconômicas de maior impacto na vida dessas pessoas e com maior abrangência, ampliando o acesso a melhores condições de saúde, educação, moradia e renda. This study aims to reflect the impact of COVID 19, considering gender, race, and class markers. This is an exploratory study, with an emphasis on the analysis of selected publications, based on a systematized search on official websites, and on the PubCovid-19 platform that includes papers published on COVID-19, which are indexed in PubMed and EMBASE. This work was based on these documents and built with reflections from the authors from the perspectives of social markers related to gender, race, and class, which contribute to the prognosis of the disease. The reflection carried out from the analyzed literature revealed that the markers of gender, class, and race emerge as a vulnerable condition to the exposure of COVID-19 in the most diverse world scenarios. This context reveals the historical need to implement strategies to improve the lives of this population, not only during the pandemic but also after their passing. Therefore, it is necessary to adopt socioeconomic policies with a more significant impact on the lives of these people and with greater coverage, expanding access to better health, education, housing, and income.
