Violencia en el hogar contra mujeres adultas durante el confinamiento por la pandemia de Covid-19 en México

Abstract

Objective: To analyze the prevalence of domestic violence in adult women during confinement derived from the Co-vid-19 pandemic and individual, familiar and communitarian associated factors.

Materials and methods: A second-ary 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, 95CI: 1.28,2.99), and living in a home where job was lost due to contingency (OR 1.96, 95CI: 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.
