Resumo O presente estudo analisa dados de violência intrafamiliar atendidos nos serviços de emergência segundo as características sociodemográficas das pessoas atendidas, do evento e a evolução do atendimento, da infância à velhice por sexo; e os fatores que diferenciam os eventos de violência intrafamiliar em comparação aos cometidos por não familiares. Foram analisados dados de 24 capitais brasileiras e do Distrito Federal, compreendendo 86 serviços de urgência e emergência e englobando um total de 4.893 indivíduos. Dentre o total de atendimentos, 26,6% sofreram violência intrafamiliar (40,0% crianças/adolescentes, 57,2% adultos e 2,8% idosos). O modelo ajustado, que compara as vítimas de violências cometidas por familiares em relação aos não familiares, mostra que ser do sexo masculino possui menor chance de sofrer violência intrafamiliar, ter menos anos de estudo tem risco aumentado e mulheres têm maior chance de cometerem violência intrafamiliar se comparado com a categoria "ambos os sexos". O estudo reforça que os profissionais de saúde precisam ser habilitados a lidar com o fenômeno da violência familiar, prestando apoio e suporte, realizando boas práticas e cuidados protocolares, cuidando das lesões e promovendo acesso a outros serviços.

Abstract This article analyzes data regarding cases of domestic violence treated by the emergency services through the following:

the sociodemographic characteristics of the people who were treated; the events themselves; the evolution of care (from childhood to old age by gender); and the factors that differentiate cases of domestic violence compared to those committed by non-family members. Data from 24 Brazilian state capitals and the Federal District were analyzed, comprising 86 emergency services: a total of 4,893 individuals were surveyed. Of those people who were treated by emergency services, 26.6% suffered domestic violence: 40.0% were children/adolescents, 57.2% were adults and 2.8% were elderly. The adjusted model, which compared victims of violence committed by other family members with those who were not family members, showed that males were less likely to suffer from domestic violence; those that had fewer years of education were at increased risk; and that women were more likely to commit domestic violence compared to the category of "both genders". This study reinforces the fact that health sector professionals need to be able to deal with domestic violence by providing support, performing good practices, abiding by care protocols, taking care of injuries, and facilitating access to other services.
