- Abstract
Objective: The study's goal has been to identify the reproductive and gynecological profiles of women under violence situations. Methods: It is a descriptive epidemiological research. The population was constituted by women victims of violence, within the age group with 18 years old or more, and that have attended at a multidisciplinary support center. Results: Considering the 42 participants, about 88.0% have experienced pregnancy; the history of vaginal discharge was reported by 53.4%; the HIV test was performed by 71.4%; and the majority (88.1%) stated not using the condom in sexual intercourse; a little more than half (52.4%) reported that the partner had already prevented them from using any contraceptive method; and 95.2% of the women reported having already performed the Papanicolaou test. Conclusion: Regarding this group of women suffering violence, a profile of vulnerability was observed concerning the failure to perform prenatal care and the non-use of condoms during sexual intercourse.
