ABSTRACT

Background: obstetric violence may be perceived by health professionals as a poor treat and not as violent acts because of a deficient knowledge of this variable.
Objective: to analyze the perception on obstetric violence among Obstetrics students from a state university in Lima-Peru.
Methods: a descriptive, correlational and cross-sectional study with a quantitative approach and a non-experimental design was carried out. Analysis-synthesis and induction-deduction were used as theoretical methods and PercOV-S questionnaire as an empirical one and as an analysis instrument; it consisted of 33 items grouped in two dimensions: protocolized-visible and non-protocolized-invisible.
Results: obstetrics students have a greater perception on obstetric violence in the protocolized or visible dimension (mean 3.82 ± 0.988) compared to the non-protocolized or invisible dimension (mean 3.03 ± 0.810). The student's gender was the only characteristic that was significantly associated with the perception of obstetric violence, both in the global score and in its dimensions (p<0.01).
Conclusions: the perception on obstetric violence among Obstetrics students from a state university in Lima-Peru was analyzed; it was found that they have a higher global perception than the average regarding obstetric violence, especially among female students.
