Abstract

This article investigates the types of violence among couples from the perspective of vioented women who attend Trindade Health Center in Florianópolis, Santa Catarina. We conducted an exploratory, descriptive research, with 62 women aged between 19 and 56 years. The interviews were conducted during visits by nurses. The prevalence of psychological and physical violence were estimated by the questionnaire Conflict Tatics Sacles - Form R. Of the 62 women surveyed 93.6% experienced violence, and 100% of these said they had suffered psychological violence and 19% physical violence. The main reason for starting the assault was jealousy demonstrated by the woman’s partner. Violence can be prevented, to do so there’s a need to implement public policies to combat it’s causes, and that society and health services also assume this responsibility.
