Comportamento espacial das notificações da violência urbana contra as mulheres

Abstract

Introduction: Violence against women is considered a multi-causal and complex historical phenomenon, characterized by conduct, based on gender, that may cause some type of harm and is considered a serious public health problem. Therefore, it is necessary to monitor this phenomenon through notifications from health services tracked by the Interpersonal and Self Violent Violence Surveillance System (VIVA / SINAN). Objective: to analyze the spatial behavior of reports of violence against women, in Campina Grande - PB, between 2014 and 2017. Materials and Methods: this is a quantitative, descriptive and analytical research, with a cross-sectional design based on the notifications of violence against women with SINAN. The census study analyzed all the Individual Report Cards involving women victims of violence. The variables were selected according to the FNI fill-in fields, in order to identify the sociodemographic profile of the victim, the typology of violence and to enable the verification of spatial behavior. Descriptive and analytical statistics were generated. When dealing with the spatial aspect - distribution and autocorrelation - Moran indices and Geary Statistic C were used, at a significance level of 95%. In order to demonstrate the test results, Lisa Maps and Moran Maps were used, as well as the Moran Diagram. Results: psychological violence was the most frequent (80.1%) and the majority of reports identified the profile: young adults (40.9%), less than eight years old (47.0%), nonwhite (65.8%), without partners (56.5%), heterosexuals (87.3%), non-disabled (81.5%). The spatial behavior showed an irregular distribution among the neighborhoods. As for the spatial autocorrelation between the neighborhoods, there was no statistical significance, confirming no spatial dependence between them. Conclusions: Violence against women more frequently affects adult women with low socio-demographic levels and behaves independently in the space sphere, between the city's neighborhoods, revealing the need to strengthen public policies to combat this phenomenon.
