Abstract

Introduction: violence against women is a matter of public interest that transcends geographical, cultural, and socioeconomic boundaries. It is understood as any act or conduct that violates human rights, based on gender, that causes death, harm, or physical, sexual, psychological, or patrimonial suffering to women. Primary health care is the individual’s gateway to the network, thus the nurse must be trained to recognize possible cases of violence and effectively welcome women, to establish measures for prevention, promotion, and care for victims. Objective: To analyze the effectiveness of the approach taken by nurses in primary care to women victims of violence, seeking to identify practices and strategies that can be improved to offer comprehensive and welcoming care, to contribute to health promotion and coping with gender violence. Method: a study of a qualitative methodological approach, with an explanatory descriptive character, through an integrative review of the literature on national and international publications in representative journals in the field of nursing, indexed in the virtual database PubMed, LILACS e Medline, within the period delimited for this research, in the years 2019 to 2024. Discussion: the analyses highlighted the different types of violence against women, the need for primary care nurses to be trained to identify and welcome victims, as well as the obstacles encountered by the health class. Conclusion: the attributions of the Primary Health Care nurse are essential for the reception of women who are victims of violence, considering that they are the first professional to have contact with the victim and build a bond, which is essential for the victim to remain in the care network and disassociate themselves from the abuser.
