Nurses play a key role in the detection and care of Victims of Gender Violence (VGV). Habitually, Professional Nurses at the Primary Care (PC) recognize these cases when they receive visits alien to the GV Detection Program. Therefore they must acquire necessary capabilities to identify and approach GV efficiently. - Aim: Analyze the PC Professional Nurses perception about the care they provide and the detection methods they use to identify and serve on all levels the VGV. - Material & Methods: This assignment was carried out through Bibliographical research of literature related to the perception that PC Professional Nurses have towards GV. Guides, protocols, official reports, legal documents, service portfolios, official web pages and data bases were used. The documents selected were the best adapted to the purpose of this research. - Results & discussion: PC Nursing Professionals encounter problems detecting VGV because of lack of specific knowledge in this field.
