Abstract

Objective: understand how the tracking and referral of cases of violence against women by
nurses of the Family Health Strategy of the upstate Paraíba are carried out.
Method: a transversal, qualitative study, with the participation of seven nurses working in the
Family Health Strategy, linked to the VI health district of the municipality of Campina Grande,
Paraíba. The collection took place in September 2018 and a content analysis of Bardin was
performed.
Results: three categories have emerged: I - Concepts of violence (29.3%); II - Tracking of
violence cases (53.7%); III - Referral of violence cases (17.1%). The words “physical aggression”,
“woman’s police station”, “social worker”, “psychological”, “denounce”, “remember”,
“suffer”, “physical” were observed.
Conclusion: nurses understand violence and the gynecological consultation serves to identify
cases. The research clarifies points of the fragility of health services that make it difficult to
fight violence and demonstrate the need for team qualification.
