Resumen

MARIN DIAZ, Miguel Eusebio. Meditate: Is the abuse a problem of health?. Rev haban cienc méd [online]. 2007, vol.6, n.1. ISSN 1729-519X.

The concept of health problem it's not restricted to a particular disease, do not demand the existence of an injury or health deterioration, but, at least, a worry from the physician or from the patient about his o her health condition could be affected because of the problem. Maltreatment and Family Violence are problems those cause harm to health mostly in children, women and elders. In our daily practice, we could see some cases in which some member of a family, like children or elders, are maltreated and due to our unawareness about those facts which are included in 10th revision of the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD-10), we all, physicians, nurses and Primary Attention professionals in general don't carry out administrative actions like to inform in primary records and in the end it doesn't appear like a health problem in the statistics. This work is an ask to take into account these facts in order to make clear that maltreatment is a health problem, not only cause it exist alter all, but because, moreover, it's accepted as it by WHO in ICD-10 so we can handled as the same way as the others health problems and give easier a solution to it, putting our efforts and experiences together to avoid its perpetuity, recurrences y consequences.

Palabras clave : maltreatment; health problem.
