Data collection took place through guided interviews using a semi-structured questionnaire. The data were processed using the software IraMuTeQ and the Descending Hierarchical Classification. The data were analyzed using the Discourse of the Collective Subject technique. Results: Through the Descending Hierarchical Classification, six classes were obtained from which the speeches emerged. It was possible to confirm the importance of training nurses in the face of obstetric violence. The main key expressions identified in the speeches were academic training, knowledge in educational practice, quality assistance, scientific, technological and humanistic mismatches, strengthening of the care model, strategic planning in the health sector, humanist base and professional clinical view. Conclusion: Through the Discourse of the Collective Subject, it was possible to partially observe the importance of training nurses, since they enable the contribution of comprehensive care, corroborating a physiological process, which can reduce obstetric violence.
