ABSTRACT
The objective was to understand the meaning of care for women victims of Domestic Violence from the perspective of Primary Health Care professionals. A descriptive, qualitative study was carried out, with the social phenomenology approach of Alfred Schütz. Twenty-two professionals from municipalities of the 10th Health Regional of Paraná participated in the research. Information was obtained between April and September 2020, by telephone, through a phenomenological interview, using the RecorderR application, and was analyzed according to the phenomenological method. The following categories were created: Domestic Violence as something very common and complex; low demand for care given the substantial number of cases and lack of professional knowledge to provide care. The study contributes to the understanding of care provided for victims in the research`s context, the challenges for the integrality and for the reflection and elaboration of health policies focused on the theme.
