Objetivo: analisar os fatores associados à ocorrência de violência física grave em crianças e adolescentes com transtornos mentais. Método: estudo transversal com 274 pacientes atendidos em uma unidade de atenção psicossocial de Nova Iguaçu, entre outubro e dezembro de 2016. Além de dados sociodemográficos e clínicos dos cuidadores e crianças, a violência familiar foi apreendida pelo “Parent-Child Conflict Tactics Scales”. Resultados: o tempo de atendimento na unidade de saúde combinada com a jornada semanal de cuidado pelo cuidador resultaram em altas chances de ocorrência de violência física grave (OR 5,0; p-valor 0,002). Por outro lado, a participação em programas de transferência de renda (OR 0,5; p-valor 0,015) demonstrou proteção das crianças e adolescentes às violências. Conclusão: as características sociodemográficas e clínicas parecem estar relacionadas à ocorrência de maus-tratos físicos. Para prevenir episódios, principalmente devido à sobrecarga dos cuidadores, parece imprescindível que as famílias sejam inseridas no cotidiano do cuidado mental.
ABSTRACT
Objective: to analyze factors associated with the occurrence of severe physical violence in children and adolescents with mental disorders. Method: cross-sectional study with 274 patients attending a psychosocial care unit in Nova Iguaçu between October and December 2016. In addition to sociodemographic and clinical data on caregivers and children, family violence was measured by the “Parent-Child Conflict Tactics Scales”. Results: The time spent in the health unit combined with the week’s schedule of care by the caregiver resulted in high chances of serious physical abuse (OR 5.0; p-value 0.002). On the other hand, participation in cash transfer programs (OR 0.5, p-value 0.015) was found to protect children and adolescents from violence. Conclusion: sociodemographic and clinical characteristics seem to be related to the occurrence of physical abuse. To prevent such episodes, it seems essential to include families in daily mental care, mainly because caregivers are overloaded.
RESUMEN
Objetivo: analizar los factores asociados a la ocurrencia de violencia física grave en niños y adolescentes con trastornos mentales. Método: estudio transversal junto a 274 pacientes atendidos en una unidad de atención psicosocial en Nova Iguaçu, entre octubre y diciembre de 2016. Además de los datos sociodemográficos y clínicos sobre los cuidadores y los niños, la violencia familiar fue medida por las “Parent-Child Conflict Tactics Scales”. Resultados: El tiempo de permanencia en la unidad de salud combinado con la jornada semanal de cuidado por parte del cuidador resultaron en altas probabilidades de violencia física grave (OR 5,0; p-valor 0,002). Por otro lado, la participación en programas de transferencia de ingresos (OR 0,5; p-valor 0,015) demostró protección de los niños y adolescentes contra la violencia. Conclusión: las características sociodemográficas y clínicas parecen estar relacionadas con la ocurrencia de maltratos físicos. Para prevenir episodios, principalmente derivados de la sobrecarga de los cuidadores, parece ser fundamental que se incluyan las familias en el cotidiano de cuidado mental.
