LOURENCO, Lélio Moura    COSTA, Dayane Pereira. Violence between Intimate Partners and its Implications for Women's Health. Gerais, Rev. Interinst. Psicol. []. 2020, 13, 1, pp.1-18. ISSN 1983-8220.  https://doi.org/10.36298/gerais2020130109.

Violence among intimate partners is considered by government agencies as one of the major causes of changes in the health status of women. Through a systematic review of the literature, the present work investigated the consequences of domestic violence among intimate partners for women's health. Articles from the following databases were selected: PubMed, PsycInfo, Redalyc, SciELO, Pepsic and Bireme. The papers were divided into two spreadsheets, one for Domestic Violence and another for Violence between Intimate Partners. After applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 13 products of the DV table and 7 of the IPV table were included, totaling a sample of 20 articles for analysis. The results suggest that there is a significant relationship between intimate partner violence and women's health, especially mental health. From this study, it is considered essential that interventions aimed at minimizing these diseases be carried out.
