to analyze based on the practitioners' discourse, the way they organize their practices confronting situations of intra-family violence against children and adolescents.
qualitative research carried out with 15 professionals who work in social and health services located in the southernmost of Brazil. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, performed at the participants' workplace. We used a theoretical matrix to analyze the data, based on Institutional Ethnography and the technique of discursive textual analysis.
the practitioners' practices developed in situations of intra-family violence against children and adolescents are organized on the basis of: power relations that take place in services that respond to violence situations; routines instituted to meet the demands of care in services; and the interplay between the conception of violence as a public health problem and the conception of violence as a social problem.
the way these practices are organized is reflected in actions that are not protective against situations of intra-family violence against children and adolescents.
