Intervenção psicossocial sobre violência de gênero com estudantes universitárias: estudo de viabilidade
Abstract
Gender violence has been a growing problem within Brazilian universities and
still little studied in the country. However, it has been increasingly urgent to
think about actions aimed at confronting this violence and combating gender
inequalities in this scenario. Among the possible mechanisms for coping with
violence, group context intervention for women who were exposed to violent
situations stands out. This dissertation aimed to develop, conduct and evaluate
the feasibility of a remote psychosocial intervention on gender violence with
university students. To achieve the first objective, a review of the national and
international literature on interventions on gender violence in the context of the
university was carried out. Searches were carried out in the databases: Scopus,
Lilacs, Scielo, PubMed, and Web of Science from December 2020 and January
2021 and resulted in 524 articles, however only one article was considered
eligible to be analyzed. The study aimed to examine the use of the Photovoice
method as a therapeutic intervention with university women who were victims of
sexual violence and who presented symptoms of Post-traumatic Stress Disorder,
obtaining promising results regarding the therapeutic effects of the method. The
second study describes the remote intervention with the target population. Two
students participated in the research, initially a synchronous interview was
carried out with the researcher in which they answered the Questionnaire of
Stressful Events, the Transversal Scale of Symptoms Level 1 Self-Applicable of
the DSM-5 Adults, Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale - DERS, and the
Questionnaire of Emotional Regulation as a pre-test and answered them again at
the end of the intervention. Subsequently, 8 90-minute weekly synchronous
meetings were held. The protocol used consisted of using psychoeducation on
gender violence, working on the victims' self-knowledge/self-esteem, as well as
the support network and, above all, emotional regulation. All meetings were
recorded and later transcribed for analysis of the intervention process. To verify
the rate of significant clinical change, the JT method was conducted. The results
obtained indicated that there was a reliable positive change in the total score of
the Difficulty in Emotional Regulation Scale that can be attributed to the
intervention. The protocol used showed the potential to be rethought in its forms
of application, however, despite the high acceptability and adherence of the
participants, the intervention was not satisfactory in terms of other feasibility
criteria, such as demand.
