http://dx.doi.org/10.5902/2179769211010Aim: to identify the specific formation health professionals have on gender violence (GV) and knowledge about the actuation protocol on GV having received formation in mistreatment detection. Methods: transversal, observational and descriptive study. The sample size was 119 health professionals from Murcia (Spain). A statistical study of contingency tables was made, using the X2 of Pearson. Results: 82.9% of the professionals don’t know if there is a protocol of GV and 92.4% report never having received specific training. 74.8% have never detected a case of abuse in women during practice. Knowledge of the protocols and specific training is significantly related (p<0.05) with the detection of GV. Conclusions: the specific formation, the knowledge of domestic violence protocols and a greater sensitization of health professionals would increase the number of detections of poorly treated women, reducing chronic health problems and health care spending.
