Violence is a problem that has been generated since centuries ago, especially in couples which generally have their beginnings in the adolescent stage; within these relationships different types of violence perpetrated specifically towards women have been evidenced within the sociocultural context, presenting specific characteristics according to the personality of the person in the different ways of reacting to these situations of aggression, so the general objective was to identify the relationship between the clues of personality disorders and the levels of partner violence in women of reproductive age. The methodology used in the research was correlational, with a quantitative, non- experimental, cross-sectional and bibliographic approach. Through the application of instruments such as the Salamanca Personality Disorders Questionnaire to evaluate signs of personality disorders and the Domestic Violence Measurement Scale (VIFJ4) for levels of intimate partner violence, using a sample of 96 female nursing students between 18 and 37 years of age, who agreed to participate voluntarily. A significant positive correlation of 0.05 (bilateral) was observed between the clues of personality disorders and the levels of intimate partner violence, highlighting the anxious personality, mild levels of violence in the study and that there is no significant relationship with age to present violence.
