Abstract

Objective: to characterize cases of interpersonal and self-directed violence through reports
from a Regional Health Department in the interior of Paraná.
Method: retrospective documentary research, with a quantitative approach, carried out
between May and June 2018. The study analyzed the reports of interpersonal and self-harm
that took place between 2013 and 2016. The data were submitted to descriptive statistical
analysis, presented by absolute and relative frequency distribution.
Results: There was an increase in violence. A total of 766 cases were reported, with a
predominance of female victims in 565 (73.8%) reports. Of these, 322 (42%) were adults and
277 (47.9%) had a partner. Regarding the aggressors, 548 (75.5%) were men and 393 (51.3%)
adults.
Conclusion: The research reinforces the importance of reporting and health care based on the
responsibility of professionals. The increase in violence makes it essential to implement public
policies and train professionals focused on reporting.
