Objective: To relate the perception that pregnant users have about obstetric violence based on the behavior of medical staff in the delivery room at three health centers in Anzoátegui state during October 2018. Methods: Non-experimental, correlational, prospective and cross-sectional field study with a sample of 564 patients and 70 physicians from 3 health centers in Anzoátegui state, using a questionnaire as a data collection instrument. Results: The evaluated doctors have regular knowledge and poor behavior (60% of cases) unrelated to each other (p: > 0.05). The main types of dehumanizing treatment were: being in a mandatory position and performing procedures without authorization (99.29% and 73.36% of cases). The type of violence that prevailed was physical in 100% of cases, followed by physical-psychological binomial, however the patient’s perception of the doctor’s behavior was good (75.2%).
