Abstract:

This article analyzes data on family violence treated in the emergency services,according to sociodemographic characteristics of the people attended, the event and the
evolution of care,childhood to old age by sex; and the factors that differentiate the events of family violence compared to those committed by non-relatives. Data24
Brazilian capitals and the Federal District were analyzed, comprising 86 emergency and emergency services, and a total of 4,893 individuals surveyed. Of these, 26.6% suffered
intrafamily violence (40.0% were children/adolescents, 57.2% were adults and 2.8% were elderly). The adjusted model studied shows that being male is less likely to suffer
intrafamily violence (OR = 0.23, 95% CI = 0.18 - 0.29), having fewer years of study are at increased risk OR = 1.65, 95% CI = 1.31 - 2.08) and women are more likely to
commit intrafamily violence when compared to the \"both sexes\" category (OR = 3.24, 95% CI = 1.65 - 6.38). The study reinforces that professionals within the various levels
of complexity of the health sector need to be able to deal with the phenomenon of family violence, providing support and support, performing good protocol practices, taking care of injuries and promoting access to other services.
