As and answer to de Mexican normativity within the NOM-190-SSA1-1999 which involves the nursing staff we draw-up as an.

Objective: identifying and describing family violence within a group of women (n=15), neighbors and users of the ENEO-UNAM’s Primary Health Care Community Center (CCOAPS) at San Luis Tlaxialtemalco, México (SLT).

Procedure: We used a qualitative descriptive transversal research method designed as an interview with  previous informed consent, within the CCOAPS physical settings. Social construction models, based on gender perspective, were identified, and a guideline for the interview was elaborated and integrated with 11 items related to gender; the interview was conducted privately and confidentially assured, and it was audiotaped verbatim; then interview were concentrated under 3 categories: male stereotypes, femenine stereotypes, and violence. 

Outcomes: Finding showed that women in the study sample acknowledge male violence, gender-differenciated models, and social inequities on detriment of women, but they consider them as a result  of biological gender differences and family-maternal learning and don’t take violence as a violation to their human rights and dignity.

Conclusion: Considering that being part of a social gender constitutes a determinant category on individual and collective health gives nursing another really  holistic dimension of care.
