| Abstract | |
The invisibility of violence is checked in the underestimated rates of its real occurrence. It\'s a problem to be faced for health area due to all physical and mental problems cause by this in woman\'s health. The most common region affect in a violence episode is the head and face. That\'s why studies about the complexity of anatomy, physiology and aesthetic of those structures are so important. Our aim in this study was to study all women who have gone to the IML/RP to exam of their bodies. The period of the study was May, 2005 to October, 2006. During this period, 284 women were seen in that service, but just 67 (23,59%) had face injuries. One questionnaire was applied in order to provide data about the woman\'s profile, all data was analyzed by using SPSS Program. Qualitative analysis was also developed with all 67 women by using Thematic Analyses in order to understand the perceptions about the suffered violence, health consequences and pathways of reaction. The cases with craniomaxilal injuries were verified and categorized in legal deontology principles. Data were collect in two distinct moments: first in the first day of exam, second in the return (30days). All ethical rules were respected in the whole study steps. The average age was 31,5 years-old, with minimum of 19 and maximum of 44 years-old. All of them studied, among them 41,8% did the first degree and 37,3% did the second one. The criteria established by ABA/ABIPEME were used to estimate the economical condition. Only 9% of women were unemployed and 23,9% were homecare. The age of aggressor goes from 16 to 62 years. The media age was 39 years, 42% of them were free workers and most of them were white(58,2%). Most of aggressors were partners or ex-partners, and the use of alcohol and drugs was significant. The men\'s bodies were used as guns against their women: slaps, kicks were most common expressions of violence. Judicial classification of lesions were distinguished as: 50 (74,6%) light, severe in 12 (17,9%) and very severe in 5(7,5%). For oral examination a protocol was developed by respecting the anatomy and physiology of maxillofacial structures. Analyzing the statements of women 04 categories were defined: Violence context, Net Support and Help, Understanding the suffered violence and Health Consequences. The knowledge of the facial injuries that affect so many women makes us to reflect about health and life conditions of many women around the world, how suffering is happening away and nobody knows. This study contributes to many discussions about this issue and also helps on the planning of assistance actions since the first contact with the victimized women until their whole reintegration and rehabilitation, in witch Dentistry has an important role.
