Abstract Background: There has been a reported increase in cases of domestic violence during the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, however systematic research data is still unavailable. This study was conducted to find out domestic violence prevalence and coping strategies among married adults during lockdown due to COVID-19 in India. Methodology: A cross-sectional study was conducted among married men and women in the month of April 2020. Data regarding socio-demographic profile, domestic violence and coping strategies employed during lockdown was collected thorough google forms. 97.9% forms were completely filled by the respondents. Descriptive analysis was done. Results: Out of 94 study participants, about 7.4% (n=7) had faced domestic violence during lockdown. Out of these 7 participants, about 85.7% (n=6) reported increased frequency of domestic violence during lockdown. About half of the victims chose to ignore it (57.1%, n=4) or used yoga/meditation (42.9%, n=3) to cope. Conclusion: With about 7.4% study participants facing domestic violence during lockdown, it is necessary to study its detailed epidemiology in pandemics so that interventions like helpline numbers, screening of patients during tele-consultation, etc. which can be delivered even during lockdown with the help of healthcare and frontline workers could be devised to address this problem.

Adolescents who lose a parent to AIDS often deal with an aura of secrecy which hinders opportunities to receive social support and their abilities to cope with their loss (Nagler, Adnopoz, & Forsyth, 1995). A study was conducted to investigate the relationship between social support and coping strategies, gender, and likelihood of reporting a parent's cause of death as AIDS. Participants included fifteen males and five females, between the ages of eleven and seventeen years, who had one or both parents die from AIDS. Results indicate that higher amounts of support are related to greater numbers of coping strategies, and a greater likelihood of reporting a parent's cause of death as AIDS. Female adolescents reported a greater number of coping strategies than male adolescents. Implications of the findings are discussed.

Objetivos: investigar como as mulheres vivenciam a revelação diagnóstica de infecção pelo Vírus da Imunodeficiência Humana (HIV) no pré-natal e identificar as estratégias de enfrentamento para lidar com a soropositividade. Método: estudo descritivo, com abordagem qualitativa, realizado com seis mulheres notificadas com HIV no período gestacional em um hospital de Fortaleza – CE. Os dados foram coletados por entrevista semiestruturada e tratados pela técnica de análise de conteúdo. Os aspectos éticos foram respeitados, sendo o projeto aprovado sob nº 11222424-5. Resultados: a complexidade da descoberta do HIV durante a gestação foi compreendida a partir de três categorias: dificuldades após o diagnóstico; ocultação da soropositividade ao HIV e estratégias para lidar com a soropositividade. Conclusão: torna-se de fundamental importância o apoio dos enfermeiros, para que possam compreender o contexto de vida dessas mulheres e adequar o cuidado às suas singularidades, alcançando uma melhor qualidade na assistência de enfermagem.ABSTRACTObjectives: to investigate how women experience revelation of a diagnosis of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in prenatal care, and to identify coping strategies to deal with being seropositive. Method: in this qualitative, descriptive study of six women notified as HIV-positive during pregnancy, at a hospital in Fortaleza, Ceará, data were collected by semi-structured interview, and treated by content analysis. Ethical concerns were met, and the project was approved (No. 11222424-5). Results: the complexity of discovering HIV during pregnancy was understood from three categories: difficulties after diagnosis; concealing HIV seropositivity; and strategies for coping with seropositivity. Conclusion: nurses’ support is of fundamental importance, so that they can understand the context of these women’s lives and suit care to their singularities, so as to achieve better quality nursing care.RESUMENObjetivos: iinvestigar cómo las mujeres experimentan la revelación diagnóstica para el Virus de la Inmunodeficiencia Humana (VIH) en el prenatal e identificar las estrategias de enfrentamiento para lidiar con la seropositividad.
