Abstract

The aim of this paper has been to determine the attitudes, knowledge and practice of the nursing professionals when faced with domestic violence.
A questionnaire-based descriptive study was designed with the participation of 73 nursing professionals.
The results showed a clear association with the term of domestic violence with physical and psychological maltreatment. There appears to be a relationship between the fact of knowing someone from within the setting with the ability to identify or intervene professionally in a case.
It is concluded that there is a general feeling of lack of information on this subject. Greater multidisciplinary organisation is needed for a more effective intervention.
