Violencia intrafamiliar como factor de riesgo para trastorno depresivo mayor en mujeres. Revisión Sistemática

Abstract

Background: Violence is one of the most significant health problems today as the various ways in which it manifests within the family environment are highly diverse. For instance, there is spousal violence due to the psychological, sexual, and economic control of the victim by their aggressor, and the lack of attention to preventive measures has caused this phenomenon to become more widespread and deeply rooted. Methodology: A data analysis was performed using the PRISMA framework, aiming to summarize and interpret the information systematically. A total of 47 files from different academic sources were available, such as PubMed, Google Scholar, Scopus, Elsevier, Dialnet, and Redalyc. Results: A mental health crisis is being experienced within the country and worldwide. Women, in particular, have been more affected due to violence committed by men. Following the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, its consequences continue to affect us, as levels of domestic violence and femicides around the world have increased, serving as an indicator of the poor quality of security and governance in our region. As mentioned below, several countries have been more affected by this problem. Conclusions: Domestic violence will be presented as a risk factor for developing major depressive disorder in women from different countries. Keywords: domestic violence, risk factors, major depressive disorder, women
