Abstract

This is descriptive and qualitative research,
undertaken in five Integrated Care Centers, between
March and May 2010, with 30 female service users who
undertook nursing consultations for prenatal monitoring,
family planning and screening tests for cervical cancer.
The aim was to investigate the perception of female
service users attended in Primary Healthcare Centers
regarding the institutional violence in women’s healthcare.
The discourses were collected through semistructured
interviews; based on the thematic content analysis, the
category “Perspectives on the institutional violence in
women’s healthcare” emerged. In spite of the institutional
violence being presented in a hidden way in the care for
the service users’ health, and not being identified as such,
the study participants reported dissatisfaction in relation to
the access, embracement, and the attendance given. As a
result, it is necessary to reflect on the practice of nursing so
as to prevent the violation of women’s rights in health care.
