Regarding coexistence and interpersonal relationships between human beings, it is relevant to infer that one of the most reprehensible situations among the many that permeate daily life is violence. In this context, it appears that violence against women, specifically, is also called "gender violence" because it is based on asymmetrical power relations between men and women, where women often find themselves in a situation of subordination. This study aimed to investigate gender-based violence against nurses in the Family Health Strategy (FHS), in Campina Grande / PB. The work was constructed as a quantitative field study that was descriptive, exploratory and explanatory of 76 UBSF in the city of Campina Grande with 80 of the 92 nurses participating in the Family Health Strategy program in this city. For primary data collection, a questionnaire was used, with 17 objective questions pertaining to socio-demographics, gender and violence. After performing a pre-test sample, the participants were contacted by telephone, informed of the objectives of the study, and sample collection was scheduled. Data processing was performed using SPSS for Windows, version 15.0, and analyzed using descriptive statistics, through the presentation of frequencies and percentages, measures of central tendency and variability for discussions of results. After approval of the research project with the CAAE - 0227.0.133.000-11 by ZIP Code, State University of Paraíba, the study was developed taking into account the ethical aspects of research involving humans, as recommended by Resolution 196/96 National Health Council. The participants were 80 nurses, with a mean age of 35.54 years (SD = 7.61), ranging from 23 to 55 years. Most of the surveyed were mulatto, married or in a stable relationship, had children, Catholic, post-graduate level of expertise and earned between 2000 and 3000 reals. The assaults were committed mostly by users of the health service or by their own colleagues. As immediate or mediate reactions to the aggressive act, the more frequent responses observed were verbal and / or physical reaction; aggression was ignored / silenced. All forms of violence against women were reported, including sexual abuse; however, the most frequent were psychological and moral. The main physical consequences in increasing frequency were headache, palpitations and tremors, and in the psychological realm at higher frequencies: stress, powerlessness and insecurity. Results showed that gender-based violence also extends to other places where there is the presence of women, not only those commonly referred to as the domestic and / or family, but also professional areas. It is necessary to expand the studies on gender violence, the identification of groups and social actors involved, as well as the dissemination of these experiences and the building plans for coping with violence at work. If it is not, the cycle of gender violence will not be undone and will continue to be perpetrated even in the most different social spaces where women are present.
