    <abstract xml:lang="en">Introduction. Professionals working with victims of gender-based violence are exposed to highly stressing situations that can cause physical, psychological, and emotional health problems. Designing and implementing personal and institutional self-care measures is fundamental to address this problem. Objectives. a) To describe and analyze the repercussions of working with victims of violence on care professionals; b) to describe and analyze the factors that negatively affect the workers&rsquo; health and; c) to describe and analyze the personal and institutional care practices performed to mitigate those consequences. Method. We used a qualitative, descriptive, and exploratory design in the framework of the grounded theory. The instrument used was a semi-structured interview created for this study. Twenty professionals involved in interventions with victims of gender-based violence were interviewed. Results. The results of this study show that professionals who work with care for victims of gender violence are victims of physical (tics, headaches, musculoskeletal problems, somatizations, etc.) and psychological (restlessness, insomnia, anxiety, etc.) problems related to their professional practice. The participants relate their health problems to variables such as the emotional impact of the issue, conflicts in the teams, and the job insecurity in the social sector. Discussion and conclusion. The occupational hazard prevention plans that public and private institutions implement need to include personal and institutional care measures to protect the health of the workers and the quality of the care provided.</abstract>
    <trans-abstract xml:lang="es">Introducci&oacute;n. Los profesionales que trabajan con v&iacute;ctimas de violencia de g&eacute;nero est&aacute;n expuestos a situaciones muy estresantes que pueden afectar su salud f&iacute;sica, psicol&oacute;gica y emocional. Dise&ntilde;ar e implementar medidas de autocuidado personal e institucional es imprescindible para abordar esta problem&aacute;tica. Objetivo. a) describir y analizar las repercusiones sobre la salud que genera el trabajo con v&iacute;ctimas de violencia sobre los profesionales de atenci&oacute;n; b) describir y analizar los factores que deterioran la salud de los trabajadores; y c) describir y analizar las pr&aacute;cticas de cuidado personal e institucional emprendidas para mitigar estas consecuencias. M&eacute;todo. Se utiliz&oacute; un dise&ntilde;o cualitativo, descriptivo y exploratorio, siguiendo las bases de la &ldquo;teor&iacute;a fundamentada&rdquo; (grounded theory). Se emple&oacute; una entrevista semiestructurada creada para los fines del trabajo. Se administr&oacute; a 20 profesionales implicados en tareas de intervenci&oacute;n con personas v&iacute;ctimas de violencia de g&eacute;nero. Resultados. Los profesionales que trabajan en tareas de atenci&oacute;n a v&iacute;ctimas de violencia sufren problemas f&iacute;sicos (tics, dolores de cabeza, problemas musculoesquel&eacute;ticos, somatizaciones, etc.) y psicol&oacute;gicos (inquietud, insomnio, ansiedad, etc.) relacionados con su quehacer profesional. Los participantes relacionan sus problemas de salud con variables como el impacto emocional de la tem&aacute;tica, los conflictos en los equipos y la precariedad laboral del sector social. Discusi&oacute;n y conclusi&oacute;n. Los planes de riesgos laborales de instituciones p&uacute;blicas y privadas deben incluir medidas de cuidado personal e institucional que permitan salvaguardar la salud de los trabajadores y la calidad de la asistencia brindada.</trans-abstract>
