Objective:

to explore the opinions and experiences of health professionals in relation to the detection of gender violence during pregnancy.

Material and method:

A structured search was carried out in different databases. The identification of studies and critical reading were carried out. Qualitative studies and systematic reviews were selected. Studies from different parts of the world were included to add multiculturalism of the study.

Results:

Most of the health professionals integrated the detection of gender violence within their competencies. Most of them expressed the lack of theoretical and practical training in this area. In addition, they identified the main obstacles and facilitators for the detection of gender violence in consultation and made proposals to improve the process.

Conclusion:

although professionals are in favor of participating in the detection and help of women who suffer gender violence, it seems that there is still work to be done in this area. The training of professionals should be expanded to acquire skills so that they can work with a biopsychosocial approach.
