Abstract

Introduction: violence is a current social and health problem, not only because of the various effects it causes, but also because it nullifies fundamental human rights.

Objective: to characterize the behavior of intrafamily violence in adolescents at the José Martí Pérez Teaching Polyclinic in Gibara, from September, 2020 to March, 2021.

Methods: a cross-sectional descriptive observational study was carried out. The study universe consisted of 123 adolescents who attended consultations. Through intentional non-probability sampling, 74 adolescents was selected. The variables used were age, sex, type of violence, family functioning, response to violence. Descriptive statistic was used.

Results: male sex (55.4 %) and psychological violence (52.7 %) predominated. The types of violence present in adolescents were related to the existence of dysfunctional families, the psychological one (X2 = 8.52; p = 0.00) being the one with the highest representation. The father figure was identified as the main aggressor. The family violence atmosphere wich harms thr adolescent is accepted by 52.7 %.

Conclusions: belonging to a dysfunctional family is related to a greater predisposition to face psychological violence in male adolescents.
