Abstract
Objective: To know the perception of primary care physicians and nurses about violence against women and their coping. Method: A cross-sectional study with a qualitative approach, carried out with professionals from the Family Health Strategy of a municipality in the interior of Ceara, Brazil, who answered a semi-structured interview. The discourses were organized through thematic categorization and analyzed based on relevant literature. The data was also processed in the IRAMUTEQ software. Results: Twelve health professionals, four physicians and eight nurses, who describe the main manifestations of violence in women participated in the study. They point out that for various reasons, among them the low qualification, they do not have capacity to act on complaints of violent acts, emphasizing educational activities as important the recognition of the grievance. As for the notification, it has proved a difficulty for its operation, associated with the fear of retaliation due to the breach of professional secrecy. The word cloud processed by IRAMUTEC reinforces the results, by highlighting the word no, demonstrating that professionals do not feel safe when confronted with these cases, and most of them do not report the grievance. Conclusions: The professionals do not act effectively in coping with violence against women in basic care.
