Nudge-based interventions in the decision-making of women victims of violence

an integrative review of the literature

Resumo

This study conducts an integrative review to explore the issue of violence against women and the effectiveness of nudge-based behavioral interventions developed in recent years. The research was conducted using Google Scholar, Scopus, Scielo, and PubMed, utilizing keywords such as "Nudge," "violence," and "women." The search was limited to English, Spanish, and Portuguese articles between 2013 and 2023. After applying predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria, only three articles were deemed suitable for the final analysis. This highlights a significant gap in research within this domain, particularly in Brazil, where femicide rates rank among the highest globally. The study identified two primary analytical categories: (1) Gender Violence as a Structural Phenomenon and (2) Nudges as Behavioral Tools: Exploring Potential and Limitations. The paucity of findings underscores the urgent need for further research in this area. Advancing our understanding is imperative to develop effective intervention strategies to mitigate violence against women.
