VIOLÊNCIA DOMÉSTICA E POPULAÇÃO LGBT+: uma revisão integrativa

Abstract

LGBTphobia in its entirety is linked to violence, discrimination, hate crimes aimed at LGBT+ people; while a social problem, it can start in the domestic and intra-family space and extends to other social contexts.The objective was to investigate the main contributors to the increase in domestic violence against LGBT+ people. For this, an integrative review was carried out in the following research platforms: Medline, Nursing Database (BDENF), PAHO-IRIS, Coleciona SUS, Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Science da Saúde (LILACS), INDEXPsi Periodicals and Electronic Periodicals in Psychology (PEPSIC) with the respective descriptors: “(Intimate Partner Violence) OR (Domestic Violence) OR (Family Violence) AND (Sexual and Gender Minorities) OR (People LGBT)”. Completely available articles were included that discussed topics related to domestic violence directed at LGBT+ people during the COVID-19 pandemic, which had been published in national journals related to the field of Psychology and Public Health. Therefore, theses, dissertations, books, reviews and event documents, articles that did not deal with the main theme, studies from international journals and studies not available for full reading were excluded. The applied search strategy resulted in 614 publications. After applying the eligibility criteria, four studies were considered to compose the final analysis. The results were reflected in three categories: vulnerability, violence and family relationships. There is a lack of studies focused on domestic violence against LGBT+ people, which reflects a heterocisnormative society that interferes with the development of scientific studies and data on intrafamily violence of LGBT+ people, with non-reporting or underreporting.
