Introduction: Domestic violence against women is a serious public health problem in the world, requiring care by health professionals. The woman who was the victim feels ashamed, blames herself, is afraid of losing her children or even of being attacked again. She believes that the aggressor will change and tries to protect him. Sometimes, the aggressor accompanies her at all times with the health professionals, not giving her the opportunity to expose the fact. In addition to these factors, there are also points concerning to the behavior of the professional, who for lack of knowledge and misconceptions, ends up not being attentive to signs of violence against the woman. Objective: It’s to understand the conduct of health professionals in primary care for domestic violence against women. Method: It is a qualitative, descriptive exploratory research, carried out through a semi-structured interview with health professionals working at UBS Rio Grande, supported by Leininger's cross-cultural theory. Results: The analysis of the results showed that health professionals, especially community agents, are extremely important in the recognition of violence. Concerning to the care given by the professionals to the victimized woman, the mentioned aspects were the reception, orientation, direction and empathy. It was noticed that relationship and therapeutic communication are present in all stages of the process and was observed that the professionals provide diversified care based on empiricism, due to the lack of qualification, however, even in the face of this reality, they believe they can take care of patients in case of domestic violence. Final Considerations: Thus, it is considered fundamental to carry out actions based on norms of the Ministry of Health with the ACS, because it is the professional category with the most proximity to the community, contributing to prevention, promotion and assistance in the integral care of women.
