Abstract

Violence is a phenomenon that affects all social classes in the world and affects children, adolescents, adults
and elderly. This article aims to hold discussions about the role of nurses in the assistance provided to women victims of
violence in order to establish a caring relationship. Practiced against women, violence is characterized as domestic and
intrafamily and defined as violence of gender due to the submissive relationships of women in society. Taking care of these
victims is a challenge for health professionals once the majority may have doubts on how to perform it, because there is
no structured model of how to do it. However there are some recommendations that will ultimately represent guidelines for
these professionals’ work. Care must be designed to promote security, hosting, respect and satisfaction of individual
needs; and this will be possible if a caring relationship is established between the professional and client.
