The research aimed to analyze pregnant women's knowledge about obstetric violence based on the actions carried out by nurses. This is an exploratory study with a qualitative approach. Data collection took place through two semi-structured questionnaires: the first containing 16 questions for sociodemographic and clinical characterization and the second with 4 questions for the audio-recorded interview script. A lack of knowledge on the subject was evident, as well as gaps in relation to the development of actions carried out by nurses during prenatal care aimed at promoting information on the subject. herefore, it is up to the nurse to ensure women's health throughout all care, whether in Basic Health Units or in hospital units, seeking to build the prevention of obstetric violence with the health team.
