SUMMARY:

Violence against women is a serious global public health problem, particularly in Brazil there
are high and increasing cases of domestic aggression against women especially after the Covid
Pandemic 19, from childhood to adulthood, this violence causes a series of physical changes
and mental disorders that favor ideation and consequent suicide attempts. It is necessary to
study the predisposing factors and symptoms more related to these attempts so that objective
actions aimed at the impediment are taken and effected. Most suicide attempts are not even
attended in health services and it is estimated that before the consumption of lethal fact a
person performs previous attempts, in women the attempts are more frequent and this is
justified by the use of less lethal methods, while men use more invasive and destructive
methods, attempts can be prevented if well addressed, for this, in-depth data on factors
involved are needed since the majority is not at least notified, a record that according to
Ordinance No. 204 of the Ministry of Health should be done within 24 hours. This study seeks
to understand and relate suicide attempts involving patients treated at the largest public
emergency hospital in the state of Alagoas with domestic violence. Patients over 18 years of
age treated in the emergency department with admission due to self-inflicted injury by suicide
attempt will be interviewed, first a sociodemographic questionnaire and psychological pain
scale, later the WAST scale validated for screening for domestic violence in women, patients
who acentire will be followed at the University Hospital with psychiatric and psychological
care, in addition, they will be monitored through teleservices performed by researchers
weekly, every two weeks, monthly and quarterly. Between March and July 2022, 4 women
were approached (50% of the total sample), all did not have a partner, all have children (2 to 3
children) per woman and all have incomplete elementary school, 85% non-white, half inactive
work, family income ranged from 400 to 2400 methods used were burn and injury by misplate,
the mean age was 43.25 ranging from 24 to 60 years, one reported prior planning; the
Psychological Pain scale showed a high degree of suffering indicated by high scores 44.75,
higher than the general 43.85 [±8.68]. The data reveal the difficulties of screening, prevention
and treatment of these women since none remained in the study, and it is not possible to
apply the WAST questionnaire and subsequent follow-up.
