          Abstract

          A violência doméstica (VD) vem sendo apontada como uma das principais causas de morbi-mortalidade, despertando, no setor saúde, uma grande preocupação com essa temática. A presente pesquisa objetivou avaliar as crenças dos Agentes Comunitários de Saúde (ACS) a respeito da violência doméstica(VD) contra crianças, adolescentes e idosos. Utilizou-se a técnica dos grupos focais e foram pesquisadas 24 Unidades Básicas de Saúde (UBS). Os dados foram analisados através da técnica de análise de conteúdo. Dentre os tipos de VD mais freqüentemente detectados, estão: “Física” e “Negligência” para crianças/adolescentes, e “Financeira” e “Psicológica/Emocional” no caso dos idosos. As mães foram apontadas como principais agressores das crianças/adolescentes enquanto os filhos foram citados como principais agressores dos idosos. Os resultados deixam clara a necessidade de se pensar em uma capacitação dos ACS, assim como na elaboração e implantação de políticas públicas de prevenção e combate à VD no universo pesquisado.

          Domestic violence(DV) has been identified as a major cause of morbidity and mortality, awakening in the health sector, a major concern with this subject. This study aims to assess the beliefs of the Community Health Agents(CHA) regarding domestic violence against children, adolescents and elderly. We used the technique of focus groups were surveyed in 24 Basic Health Units(UBS). The data were analyzed using the technique of content analysis. Among the types of DV most frequently detected, are: "Physics" and "neglect" for children/adolescents, and "Financial" and "Psychological/Emotional" in the elderly. Mothers were identified as major abusers of children and adolescents while the sons were cited as major abusers of the elderly. These results make clear the need to think of a qualification of CHA, as well as the development and implementation of public policies to prevent and fight against DV in the group studied.

              Internet use and stigmatized illness.

              People with stigmatized illnesses often avoid seeking health care and education. The internet may be a useful health education and outreach tool for this group. This study examined patterns of internet use for health information among those with and without stigmatized illnesses. A national survey of internet users in the USA was conducted. Respondents who self-reported a stigmatized condition-defined as anxiety, depression, herpes, or urinary incontinence-were compared to respondents who reported having at least one other chronic illness, such as cancer, heart problems, diabetes, and back pain. The analytical sample consisted of 7014 respondents. Cross-sectional associations between stigmatized illness and frequency of internet use for information about health care, use of the internet for communication about health, changes in health care utilization after internet use, and satisfaction with the internet were determined. After controlling for a number of potential confounders, those with stigmatized illnesses were significantly more likely to have used the internet for health information, to have communicated with clinicians about their condition using the internet, and to have increased utilization of health care based on information found on the internet, than those with non-stigmatized conditions. Length of time spent online, frequency of internet use, satisfaction with health information found on the internet, and discussion of internet findings with health care providers did not significantly differ between the two groups. Results from this survey suggest that the internet may be a valuable health communication and education tool for populations who are affected by stigmatized illnesses.
