Abstract
VALDEZ-SANTIAGO, Rosario et al. Violence at home against adult women during the confinement by the Covid-19 pandemic in Mexico. Salud pública Méx [online]. 2021, vol.63, n.6, pp.782-788. Epub Feb 27, 2023. ISSN 0036-3634. https://doi.org/10.21149/13244.
Objective:
To analyze the prevalence of domestic violence in adult women during confinement derived from the Covid-19 pandemic and individual, familiar and communitarian associated factors.
Materials and methods:
A secondary analysis was carried out the 2020 National Health and Nutrition Survey on Covid-19, with national representation. A logistic regression model adjusted for the variables of interest was performed.
Results:
The prevalence was 5.8%. The most reported acts were shouting, insults or threats (4.3%). Most of the women who reported some type of violence in the home had already experienced it before the confinement. Low levels of well-being (OR= 1.96, 95%CI: 1.28,2.99), and living in a home where job was lost due to contingency (OR= 1.96, 95%CI: 1.41,2.73) were associated factors.
Conclusions:
In care interventions, it is necessary to take into account factors that deepen the vulnerability of women, such as pre-existing violence and loss of employment.
