ABSTRACT

Objetivos. Conocer la magnitud de la violencia contra la mujer en la pareja entre las pacientes que acuden al médico de familia, estudiar la frecuencia y aceptación de su investigación por parte del médico de familia y evaluar la efectividad de una pregunta de cribado de maltrato. Diseño. Se trata de un estudio descriptivo y transversal. Ámbito. El estudio se realiza en atención primaria, en 4 cupos de 2 centros de salud urbanos de Jaén. Sujetos. Se seleccionaron aleatoriamente entre las consultantes 170 mujeres. Método. Se realizó entrevista mediante el test de Bradley modificado y las escalas de ansiedad y depresión de Goldberg. También se estudiaron la salud percibida, la frecuencia de detección del maltrato por el médico de familia y la opinión de las mujeres. Resultados. Durante el último año se detectó maltrato en el 22,9% de las consultantes (intervalo de confianza [IC] del 95%, 16,6-29,2). Las mujeres maltratadas presentan una peor salud percibida (odds ratio [OR] = 4,2; IC del 95%, 1,02-17,5) y una mayor probabilidad de depresión (OR = 4,7; IC del 95%, 1,8-12,5), de forma independiente respecto al resto de variables. La pregunta «¿Cómo van las cosas con su pareja?» como cribado de maltrato obtiene un cociente de probabilidades positivo de 6,23 (IC del 95%, 3,6-10,9), una especificidad del 89% y un valor predictivo negativo del 90%. Al 96,5% de las encuestadas no le disgustaría que su médico de familia abordara las relaciones de pareja, situación que se produce en el 24,7% de los casos. Conclusiones. En casi una cuarta parte de las mujeres consultantes se detecta algún tipo de maltrato. El médico de familia no suele investigar el entorno familiar y de pareja, a pesar de ser bien valorado por las mujeres, y del elevado cociente de probabilidades positivo y del elevado valor predictivo negativo para la detección de maltrato


Objectives. To find out the magnitude of violence against female partners among patients who visit their family doctor. To study frequency and acceptance of its investigation by the family doctor and to assess the effectiveness of a screening question on abuse. Design. Descriptive, cross-sectional study. Setting. Primary care, 4 samples from 2 urban health centres in Jaén, Spain. Participants. Who participated 170 women randomly selected from the female consulting population. Measurements. Interviews by means of the Bradley modified test and the anxiety and depression Goldberg scales. Perceived health, frequency of detection of domestic violence, by the family doctor, and female opinions were also studied. Results. During the last year, abuse against women was detected in 22.9% of the female population consulting their family doctor (95% confidence interval [95% CI], 16.6-29.2). Abused women had a worse perception of health (odds ratio [OR] =4.2; 95% CI, 1.02-17.5) and a higher probability of depression (OR=4.7; 95% CI, 1.8-12.5) independently from the rest of variables. The question "How are the things going with your partner?" as a screening of abuse does obtain a positive probability quotient of 6.23 (95% CI, 3.6-10.9), a specificity of 89% and a negative predictive value of 90%. Of those interviewed, 96.5% would not mind if their family doctor approached the couple's relationships, a situation that occurs in 24.7% of cases. Conclusions. Some degree of abuse was detected in almost a quarter of women who consult their family doctor. Family doctors do not usually ask about family and partner relationships and environment, although for almost all women it is well appreciated and the item has an increased likelihood ratio and high negative predictive value in detecting abuse
