          Abstract

          A violência na conjugalidade é tema de grande relevância em diferentes contextos, dada a magnitude da prevalência em todo o mundo. O presente estudo, quantitativo, teve o objetivo de descrever a violência no casal, bem como analisar possíveis correlações com variáveis sociodemográficas. Participaram 186 casais (n= 372), residentes da região metropolitana de Porto Alegre (RS), casados oficialmente ou em coabitação, selecionados por conveniência, caracterizando uma amostragem por "bola de neve". Para a coleta de dados, foram utilizados um questionário de dados sociodemográficos e a Revised Conflict Tactics Scale (CTS-2), para identificação das diferentes expressões de violência entre cônjuges. Foram realizadas análises estatísticas inferenciais descritivas, para verificar o comportamento das variáveis. Dentre os principais resultados, destacam-se a prevalência de 2,74% de coerção sexual grave cometida pelos homens e de 86,59% de agressão psicológica cometida pelas mulheres. Os resultados obtidos corroboram estudos anteriores, que afirmam que homens exercem predominantemente a violência sexual, ao passo que mulheres usam preponderantemente a agressão psicológica. Destaca-se maior prevalência da violência em casais jovens, economicamente menos favorecidos, com menores níveis de religiosidade e que somente moram juntos, não tendo oficializado a união. Conclui-se que a violência é um fenômeno de grande complexidade, que exige atenção dos profissionais de saúde.

          Marital violence is a very important topic in different contexts, given its high prevalence worldwide. The aim of the present quantitative study was to describe violent marital relationships and analyze correlations with sociodemographic variables. 186 couples (N=372) participated in this study. All couples reside in the metropolitan area of Porto Alegre (RS), are offcially married or live together. Snowball sampling was used to select the subjects. A sociodemographic questionnaire was used to collect data, as well as the Revised Conflict Tactics Scale (CTS-2), to identify the different expressions of violence within the marital relationship. For data analysis all information was entered in the SPSS program (20.0) and descriptive statistics was performed in order to check variables. Among the most important results, male sexual coercion stands out at 2.74%, with psychological violence practiced at 86.59% by women. The results obtained corroborate previous studies which showed men using predominantly sexual violence and women using predominantly psychological violence. This study highlights a higher prevalence of violence among young couples, with a low level of religiosity and low income couples, and who live together but are not off cially married. It is concluded that violence is a complex phenomenon which requires attention from health professionals.
