Abstract
Objective: To describe teaching approaches on the theme of violence against women from the perspective of academics and future nursing professionals. Methods: Study with an investigative-descriptive focus, supported by a qualitative approach carried out in a Higher Education Institution in Northern Brazil. Data analysis was performed from content analysis. Results: Twenty-two nursing students from the eighth to the tenth period, predominantly female, participated in the study. The educational practices referred to are conversation circles, theoretical classes and lectures. Thematic obstetric violence, reception, social support networks and approach to women are the most discussed. As a future professional, the academic perceives the need to deepen specific knowledge for a qualified approach, especially in the practical field. Conclusion: The theme still needs further deepening in nursing graduation, with the use of active methodologies and strategies that strengthen the teaching and service integration, which critically and problematize the skills and competences of the future professional. The importance of carrying out new studies aimed at approaches that relate academic training and professional practice in nursing is established in order to contribute to humanized, protective and effective care for this woman.
