Atención prehospitalaria a mujeres víctimas de violencia intrafamiliar

Abstract

Domestic violence has historically been considered a social problem, but has not received sufficient attention from the authorities in charge of combating or mitigating this problem. Every day we witness acts of intrafamily violence where the main victims turn out to be women and the most significant consequences are those that affect the psychological part of women. Therefore, the following work emphasizes how a situation of this type of violence should be addressed by pre-hospital care personnel. The need to elaborate this monograph arises because in the university training the technologist focuses on pre-hospital care in physical injuries, ignoring in great magnitude the psychological aspect.
