ABSTRACT
Introducción. Las mujeres maltratadas presentan peor salud. Las mujeres inmigrantes tienen más riesgo de padecer maltrato por parte de su pareja siendo el tipo de maltrato psicológico el más frecuente. Debido a que un gran porcentaje de la población residente en el distrito sanitario de Coslada es de origen rumano se estableció una investigación dirigida a estudiar si hay diferencias entre mujeres españolas y rumanas en cuanto a la percepción de los distintos tipos de violencia, esperando encontrar diferencias significativas. Material y métodos. : Participaron 93 mujeres (61,26% rumanas) a las que se le administró un cuestionario compuesto por variables sociodemográficas, el APGAR familiar y una encuesta de percepción de conductas relacionadas con la violencia de género. Se calcularon los estadísticos descriptivos de la muestra y se realizó un análisis de regresión jerárquica múltiple. Resultados y conclusiones. Casi un 30% de las mujeres de origen rumano y un 10% de las españolas encuestadas se consideran o han considerado ser víctimas de maltrato. Según los datos obtenidos, las mujeres de origen rumano de la muestra identifican más fácilmente aquellos comportamientos que implican violencia física o sexual, mientras que, al igual que las mujeres españolas, tienen más dificultades para reconocer la violencia psicológica (AU)
