Domestic violence: a Rodger's evolutionist conceptual analysis.

OBJECTIVE

to analyze the concept of domestic violence based on its use in health sciences, humanities, and exact sciences according to Rodgers' evolutionary model.

METHODS

this is a concept analysis based on Rodgers' evolutionary conceptual model. Ninety-six articles were included in Portuguese, English, Spanish, and French, which had a definition of domestic violence, having identified the antecedents, attributes and consequences and produced a model case.

RESULTS

twenty-two attributes, ten antecedents and eight consequences were identified.

FINAL CONSIDERATIONS

from antecedents, attributes and consequences, it was possible to identify the connection between domestic violence and gender issues, especially patriarchal, being seen in a normalized way by society and causing consequences to the victims' physical and psychological health.
