Abstract

O presente estudo teve como objetivo revisar a literatura nacional e internacional de 2010 a 2021 sobre os impactos da exposição à violência por parceiros íntimos no desenvolvimento infantil. Foi realizada uma busca nas bases de dados Scopus, NCBI/Pubmed, Web of Science, BVS e Scielo, utilizando os seguintes descritores: domestic violence, violence against woman, marital violence, intimate partner violence e child. A revisão permitiu verificar que a exposição direta e indireta à VPI durante a infância pode acarretar prejuízos nas mais diversas esferas do desenvolvimento infantil.
