Abstract:

The aim was to analyse and improve the response of Primary Health Care (PHC) to the care of cases of domestic violence against women (DVAW) by developing, implementing and evaluating an intervention. A pilot study evaluating the before and after implementation of an intervention, using mixed methods and carried out in three phases - baseline, intervention and evaluation - between August 2017 and March 2019 in two Basic Health Units (UBS) in the city of São Paulo. In this paper, we present the details and evaluation of the intervention, carried out six months after its implementation. The intervention was developed based on the findings of the formative phase and in line with the health policy that establishes the Violence Prevention Nucleus (NPV) and consisted of: drawing up a care flow; general training for all workers and specific training for the NPV; drawing up educational material and monthly case discussions over 6 months. A total of 99 workers and 15 NPV members were trained at the two UBS. The evaluation showed acceptability among the workers, increased identification and repertoire for caring for cases of DVAW, strengthening internal referral and the intersectoral network. We identified obstacles to the full implementation and sustainability of the intervention, related to the care culture of the services and the organisation of healthcare in the municipality.
