RESUMO

This is a quanti-qualitative study that had as purpose to understand the limits and the possibilities of action by integrants of family health teams on domestic violence against women in search of appropriate ways to give visibility to this problem in the scope of the health services. Its specific objectives were: to identify the conceptions of violence by women who had lived in violent situations in the domestic space, to apprehend which could be the expectation of the women when searching the health service after suffering domestic violence, identify the limits of action of the health professionals dealing with women under domestic violence, and to analyze the gender´s view and the perception of the family health team in relation to the domestic violence against the woman. In this study the categories gender and type of violence were used as theoretical and methodological referential for the social constructs. For the data analysis it was used the methodology proposed by Bardin and Minayo and the recommendations of Bourdieu for the construction of the histories of the women. The research was developed in two stages. The first one had as subjects pregnant women attended in the Centro de Saúde Padre Fernando de Melo in the city of Belo Horizonte, evaluated through the observation, the application of a closed questionnaire with 64 questions and 12 half-structuralized interviews. The information obtained subsidized the development of the second stage of the research. The second stage was developed through a workshop with fifteen professionals of the family health team above mentioned having as the purpose the perception and positioning of the professionals dealing with situations of domestic violence against the women. In this workshop information on the limits and possibilities of approaching the domestic violence in the health services were collected. The results show that women and health professionals when do not recognize the domestic violence do not contribute to prevent it, what then becomes a present and recurrent problem in the health services. The results also show the potentiality of the workshops in the collection of data for research, articulated to the critical analysis and approach of the domestic violence in health services facilities and programs
