    Adolescents’ comprehension of gender-related violence: Gender and cultural influences
    (Universidad de Murcia. Servicio de Publicaciones, 2025) Barrio, Carla; Biglia, Bárbara
    Many studies show that Gender-Related Intimate Partner Violence (GRIPV) is a persistent problem among young Europeans, yet there is a significant gap in the literature when it comes to comparing the Italian and Spanish contexts. This survey study, grounded in a feminist ontological and political perspective, explores how gender ascription and cultural elements shape Barcelona and Milan secondary school students’ awareness and perception of GRIPV. We collected 1,216 responses and after a first descriptive analysis, we created some indicators to identify variations in the responses corroborating their consistency through a Validation Factor Analysis. We then used Spearman’s coefficient to identify correlations by gender and city. The main findings reveal a general awareness of IPV, which does not immediately translate into the ability to perceive such violence in one’s environment or comprehend its gender aspects. Interestingly, young people in Barcelona show a higher level of awareness regarding this issue, whereas those in Milan more frequently perceive the existence of violence in their environment. However, it is crucial to note that gender differences outweigh the cultural ones in terms of awareness of GRIPV. These findings should be considered for future interventions addressing the complexity of GRIPV.

    Resilience and associated factors in women survivors of Intimate Partner Violence: a systematic review
    (Universidad de Murcia. Servicio de Publicaciones, 2022) Fernández Álvarez, Natalia; Fontanil, Yolanda; Alcedo, Ángeles
    Most research on Intimate Partner Violence against women (IPV) has tended to present women as passive victims, but in recent years, there has been an increase in studies adopting a strengths-based approach. The aim of the present study is to review the empirical literature about re-silience in women survivors of IPV to (a) analyze the consensus on the definition and assessment of resilience; (b) study the correlates of resilience; and (c) reflect on the applicability of such knowledge in policies and pro-fessional practice. Following PRISMA guidelines, a systematic search was carried out in the Scopus, WoS and PsycINFO databases. The search yield-ed 42 articles published in English or Spanish over an unlimited timeframe. Results showed that process-oriented, trait-oriented, and outcomes-oriented definitions of resilience were all adopted in the research and that assessment methods also differed across studies. Individual, relational, and contextual factors were found as resilience correlates. There is a need for a theoretical consensus and for research on the mecha-nisms through which vulnerability or protective factors exert their influ-ence on groups with specific risk conditions. Finally, governments and in-stitutions should take actions to support women and children and to pre-vent future IPV.

    Síntomas depresivos en gestantes y violencia de pareja: un estudio transversal
    (Universidad de Murcia. Servicio de publicaciones, 2020) da Silva Lima, Leilson; Orrara Amaral do Carmo, Tainá; de Souza Brito Neto, Custódio; da Cunha Pena, José Luis
    Objetivo: Evaluar la presencia de síntomas depresivos en gestantes y su asociación con la violencia de pareja. Métodos: Este es un estudio piloto transversal de una muestra de 65 gestantes que recibieron atención prenatal en la Unidad Básica de Salud de la Universidad Federal de Amapá entre septiembre y octubre de 2018. Para la recolección de datos se utilizó un cuestionario socioeconómico, demográfico y obstétrico; la Escala de Depresión Posparto de Edimburgo, y el Estudio Multipaís sobre la salud de la mujer y la violencia doméstica. Resultados: El 41,5% de las gestantes tienen síntomas depresivos, en el análisis de regresión logística, estos síntomas tienen una asociación significativa con mujeres que sufren algún tipo de violencia de pareja (OR = 6,74; IC 95% 2,0 – 21,7; p = 0,001) Además, estar empleada, ser soltera, tener bajo nivel de escolaridad, bajos ingresos familiares y embarazo no deseado influyeron significativamente en los síntomas depresivos durante el embarazo. Conclusiones: Hubo un alto porcentaje de síntomas depresivos durante el embarazo y estos se relacionan con la violencia de pareja.
