Resumen
La violencia de género causa problemas de salud a corto y largo plazo. El presente trabajo pretende analizar las actitudes y formación en violencia de género de los/as profesionales sanitarios. Para ello se pasó una entrevista semiestructurada a una muestra disponible de 190 profesionales de la salud que trabajaban en las Islas Canarias. Los resultados indicaron que, aunque había mucha diversidad y la mayoría de profesionales consideraba que la violencia de género era consecuencia de la sociedad patriarcal y del machismo, algunos afirmaban que era un problema de pareja o que la mujer era culpable. Además, se detectó la presencia de mitos tales como que la violencia de género es consecuencia de la enfermedad del agresor o de su consumo de alcohol y drogas. Y menos de la mitad había realizado formación en violencia de género.
Abstract: Gender violence results in immediate and long-term health problems. The present study aimed to analyze attitudes and formation on gender violence of professional health care workers. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with a purposeful sample of 190 health care providers in the Canary Islands. Results showed that, despite the diversity and although the majority of professionals saw gender violence as a consequence of the patriarchal society and machismo, some of them regarded it as a couple problem or thought the woman was guilty. In addition, some of them were supporting a series of myths like that gender violence was a consequence of the disease of the aggressor or of the consumption of alcohol and drugs. Less than half of the interviewed ones had carried out gender violence training.
