Abstract

It is a descriptive, qualitative study, aimed at a sample at the convenience of the authors, more than 100 health professionals were invited to participate, after explaining what the ethnographic study was about to understand whether or not there was intrafamily violence in the women health professionals, 50 agreed to participate in the interview, A personalized interview was developed in a controlled environment, 12 generating questions were used to guide the interview, the data was recorded and then the transcribed data was analyzed, performing a discourse analysis from the tabulated results. The study carried out allows us to understand that neither professional or economic improvement, nor knowledge about the factors that perpetuate domestic violence, guarantee women immunity from it. There are social, cultural and psychological factors that are not sufficiently understood and faced to stop this multifactorial phenomenon.
