Revista Brasileira de Enfermagem. 2016;69(5):956-963
DOI 10.1590/0034-7167-2016-0045

Objective:
the objective of this study was to understand the meaning of the harmful use of crack by people undergoing addiction treatment.
Method:
qualitative approach of social research on strategic modality was used. Field observation, preparation of field diary and focus groups, and data analysis through the method of interpreting meaning were carried out.
Results:
the results contributed to the construction of three thematic categories: “The discovery of crack and other drugs” that describes the experimentation with crack and other drugs; “The pain of the pleasure”, key category that describes the moments after crack experimentation and that, many times, turns into addiction, which leads the person into a cycle of short periods of attempts at abstinence, relapse, and relentless consumption; and “Return to normal life”.
Conclusion:
treating people with crack addiction must be carried out in ways that narrow the distance between these people and their families, society and health care.

Intimate partner violence in adolescence: an analysis of gender and generation
Revista Brasileira de Enfermagem. 2016;69(5):946-955
DOI 10.1590/0034-7167-2016-0408
Views0ABSTRACT
Objective:
to analyze the intimate partner violence in adolescence from the perspective of gender and generation.
Method:
Quantitative, descriptive, and exploratory research. 111 adolescents participated in this study, with ages from 15 to 19 years old.
Results:
We found that 91% of participants have perpetrated and 90.1% have undergone at least one of the natures of violence. The intimate partner violence in adolescence constitutes a form of gender violence, and gender constructions have determined the suffered and perpetrated aggressions, possibly also determining the naturalization and legitimization of such aggressions. The inequality of power between generations may determine greater vulnerability of youngsters to the phenomenon.
Conclusion:
The historical and social construction of masculinity and femininity and the power inequalities set by these constructions converge with the power inequality between generations. Thus, gender and generation are determinants of intimate partner violence in adolescence, as well as of the vulnerability of adolescents to this phenomenon.
