SUMMARY:

The National Policy to Combat Violence against Women established a response
network that lists essential public services for assisting women experiencing violence:
health, public safety, justice, and social assistance. However, Primary Health Care, as
the gateway to the Unified Health System and the response network, is a privileged
place to treat the physical and psychological harm resulting from violence. Therefore,
health teams within this service must possess qualified knowledge of psychological
violence to maximize the effectiveness of their actions to combat violence, such as
mandatory reporting of violence, referral to specialized services, collection and
recording of epidemiological data, and production of knowledge for public policy
formulation. Therefore, this study is justified by the need to map institutional
documents and scientific literature for guidelines that guide health professionals in
providing appropriate and effective support to women experiencing psychological
violence, helping to break the cycle of abuse. To this end, this research aimed to discuss
these guidelines through two articles that followed a qualitative descriptive and
exploratory methodology. The first article is an Institutional Analysis "on paper" that
analyzed three volumes of the National Policy Collection to Combat Violence Against
Women, taking gender as an institution. The second article is a scoping review that
followed the methodological recommendations of the Joanna Briggs Institute Evidence
Synthesis Handbook 2024, the Checklist of Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic
Reviews and Meta-Analyses (extension for Scoping Reviews) 2020, and the Peer
Review of Electronic Search Strategies 2015; the files were screened using the
Intelligent Systematic Review software - Rayyan 2016©. The first study conducted an
institutional analysis of public policies and professional practices related to the care of
women experiencing psychological violence in primary care, identifying gaps in
specific guidelines and the presence of institutional violence in care that can revictimize
women. The second study, a scoping review, mapped existing guidelines to support
care, highlighting the scarcity of evidence-based protocols, the lack of adequate
training, and the need for integrated and intersectoral practices to optimize care. Both
studies emphasize the central role of Primary Health Care in early identification and
appropriate care, highlighting the urgent need to develop specific protocols, conduct
ongoing training, and strengthen the link between health services, social assistance,
public security, and justice. Thus, it reinforces the need to build humane and effective
support networks, essential to overcoming structural inequalities and guaranteeing the
rights and dignity of women victims of psychological violence. In the area of Public
Health, the dissertation contributed by emphasizing the importance of professional
practices that promote comprehensiveness, equity, and women's protagonism,
incorporating interdisciplinary approaches that consider the social, economic, and
cultural determinants of gender-based violence.
