Abstract

The objective of this research was to describe the impact of domestic violence suffered on black women in the municipality of Cabo Frio and to prepare an informative lecture on domestic violence and its consequences for black women and their families. It was a descriptive-exploratory research with a qualitative approach. Three women were interviewed, participating in Rede das Pretas. All the interviewees suffered psychological violence, as it is difficult to identify violence, none of the aggressors was reported. However, these victims managed to break the cycle of violence and live far from their aggressors. It was seen that some data diverged from the literature in relation to the profile of the aggressor and the level of education of women. It is concluded that the objectives were achieved, since it was possible to describe the impact of domestic violence suffered on black women, in the municipality of Cabo Frio. This research is of great importance to society, as it supports the admission of better conduct in welcoming women victims of domestic violence. In nursing, it is relevant for professional improvement, the adoption of humanized assistance, established in sorority and empathy.
