Construction of an intervention proposal for professionals to address intimate partner violence among adolescents in Brazil

Abstract

The intimate partner violence (IPV) among adolescents needs to be addressed by primary health care services and others that may, in partnership with the health care network, also be responsible for coping with IPV, such as Non-Governmental Organizations. This study aims to construct an intervention on coping with adolescent IPV and to describe the advantages of using software for qualitative data analysis for the development of this proposal. This is a study with a qualitative approach conducted with primary health and Non-Governmental Organizations professionals in Curitiba and São Paulo, Brazil. We performed data collection through two sessions of a critical-emancipatory workshop and supported by webQDA. The results show that the workshop could be a potent intervention to address adolescent IPV, due to its possibility of being implemented in different areas and realities. The webQDA use showed advantages as the systematization of data and the identification of the documentary source.
