HEALTH SURVEILLANCE AND SOCIAL ASSISTANCE SURVEILLANCE

Abstract

This article aimed to perform a comparative analysis of the records of notifications of violence against women from Health Surveillance and Social Assistance Surveillance in the municipality of Jijoca de Jericoacoara, Ceará, Brazil, in 2018. The databases used were the Violence Surveillance System and Accidents of the Notifiable Diseases Information System (VIVA / SINAN), and the Personal and Social Risk Map of Jijoca de Jericoacoara. To characterize the cases of violence against women, the classification of types of violence in the VIVA / SINAN notification form was adopted. The epidemiological characteristics of the reported cases were described, similarities and divergences were evaluated and the percentage of variation between the two databases was calculated. Most records of reports of violence against women were present, with a difference of 2.02% between the total of reports of violence, resulting in quite distinct epidemiological scenarios portrayed by the two sources. It is concluded that, although Federal Law nº 10.778 of 2003 establishes compulsory notification in health services nationwide, the records of notifications made by the Health Surveillance proved to be insufficient to characterize the real situation of the problem of violence against women.
