Resumo: Introduction: Domestic violence against women is understood as any action or omission based on gender at some point in their life that causes death, injury, physical, sexual or psychological suffering, in addition to moral or patrimonial damage. It is an extremely serious public health problem due to the short, medium and long term consequences. Unfortunately, many professionals are unprepared to provide assistance to the victim, due to limiting factors, resulting in underreporting of cases. Objective: to highlight the reasons why nursing teams find it difficult to care for women victims of domestic violence. Review: Integrative of relevant evidence-based studies, published between 2015 and 2020, in Portuguese and English, available in full in the SciELO, Science Direct and BVS databases. DISCUSSION: The integration of the selected literature makes it possible to infer that the lack of qualification to identify cases of violence and insufficient knowledge on the topic, as well as their actions in relation to this issue, are the main evidences of the unpreparedness of nursing teams for an adequate assistance to woman, victim of domestic violence. In view of the complexity that encompasses the phenomenon of violence, nursing care requires planning to promote a reliable, respectful and satisfactory reception, capable of offering the victim the coping options. Final remarks: Awareness about domestic violence as a type of harm to women, as well as short, medium and long term developments are able to benefit not only women, but also all members involved in the intrafamily environment. Therefore, it is necessary to have a dignified, respectful and resolute welcome to each woman, thus providing qualified and effective assistance.
