ASSISTÊNCIA AO SUICIDIO E AGRESSIVIDADE NO SERVIÇO DE ATENDIMENTO MÓVEL DE URGÊNCIA.

Objective: To investigate factors associated with calls made by a mobile emergency care service to aggressive behavior and suicidal behavior that occurred in 2014 in a Brazilian municipality. Methods: Quantitative, retrospective and documentary study. Data were extracted from nursing care records and analyzed using descriptive statistics, association tests, covariance analysis and multiple logistic regression. Results: 627 records were analyzed, in which adult men, with aggressive behavior, predominated in their own homes and were transported to a health service. Aggressive behavior was more common among men and had more documented signs and symptoms and less waiting time for care. Suicidal behavior had more evaluation of vital signs, more procedures and referral to health services. Conclusion: Such associations reveal important characteristics for the organization and planning of interventions for emergency care, prevention of violence and qualification of human resources for assistance.
