It is characterized by the disrespectful treatment of women at health institutions, during the pregnancy-puerperal period. Identifying future health professionals´ knowledge on this theme can be useful to design teaching strategies that support professional training for the prevention and coping of obstetric violence. <strong>Objective: </strong>To evaluate the knowledge of nursing undergraduate students on Obstetric Violence. <strong>Methods:</strong> This is descriptive and exploratory research with a quantitative approach and a sample of 115 students from a public university. The data were collected by a structured questionnaire. The questions were analyzed by applying statistical tests and Poisson regression models with robust variance. <strong>Results:</strong> About 99.1% of the students stated some approach to the theme, and 56.3% know someone who suffered obstetric violence. The university and social media were cited as the main sources of information. Only 10.5% were able to estimate how many women currently suffer from obstetric violence; 13% know the available legislation and 33.04% said they know how to make a report of violence. <strong>Conclusion: </strong>The findings indicate that students have superficial knowledge about the investigated topic, ignoring epidemiological aspects, as well as related legislation in Brazil and available instances for reporting. These results justify the teaching improvement about obstetric violence in the educational process of these future professionals, as a strategy to prevent and struggle with obstetric violence.</p>}, journal={ABCS Health Sciences}, author={Ramos, Thais Marquezoni and Tanaka, Erika Zambrano and Carmona, Elenice Valentim and Sanfelice, Clara Fróes de Oliveira}, year={2022}, month={Oct.}, pages={e022221} }
