Factors that interfere with the approach to intimate partner violence in Primary Health Care: scoping review.

Abstract

This study seeks to answer the research question: "How does the literature present the Primary Health Care approach to intimate partner violence against women?", with the objective of analyzing the factors that interfere with this approach. The methodology was based on the construction of a scoping review, where the search strategy was applied in the databases: CINAHL, Embase, LILACS, PubMed/MEDLINE, SciELO, Scopus, Web of Science and gray literature. Forty six studies related to the approach to this type of crime in Primary Health Care were selected. Studies indicate that the work context in Primary Care has not favored the approach to complex issues such as this violence. The overload of services, the limited time for providing services to users, the imposition of target lengths shaped by the logic of productivity and the high turnover of professionals were highlighted.
