Abstract

Objective: to identify the frequency of notification of physical violence against women in the state of Espírito Santo, from 2011 to 2018, and its association with the characteristics of the victim, the aggressor and the occurrence. Method: cross-sectional study with analysis of cases of physical violence against women reported in the Notifiable Diseases Information System in 2011-2018. The associations were tested by Pearson’s chi-square test and Poisson regression. Results: the notification of physical violence against girls and women represented a frequency of 54.1%. The female group aged 20 to 59 years has about 4.3 times more prevalence of being a victim of physical violence when compared to the group aged 0-9 years. Black/brown women have 1.06 times more frequency of notification of physical violence. Most of the occurrences of the event were observed among those without disability/disorder and residents in the urban/periurban area. Physical violence against women was 1.71 times more practiced by an acquaintance, and with suspected alcohol use (PR:1.07). Conclusion: physical violence against women was high and presents association with certain characteristics of the victim of the aggressor and the occurrence, such findings can guide decision-making in coping with violence.
