Abstract
This study aimed to compare experiences and perceptions of users and health
professionals on violence in the context of Primary Health Care. It is a cross-sectional study of
qualitative and quantitative nature conducted in Ribeirão das Neves (Minas Gerais), in which
semi-structured interviews were carried out using questionnaires applicable to users (n= 628)
and self-administered to professionals (n=300). Descriptive analysis was performed – distribution
of simple frequency, cross and bivariate – and correspondence analysis comparing the
responses of users and professionals, stored in two different databases. The Thematic Categorical
Content Analysis enabled the construction of three categories of analysis – from which were
discussed and jointly, the quantitative and qualitative results: 1) Violence as a health problem;
2) Completeness of Care; 3) Social Participation. It is noted that violence permeates everyday
life and activity of users and professionals, behaving as an event that deserves deepening by
who is suffering, living and dealing with the problem. The social participation spaces were
recognized as an important strategy of community inclusion in the discussion of their problems.
However, users and professionals differ on the role of health care in addressing and violence.
Primary care has great potential to produce quality of care but apparently does not accomplish
it when deals with the violence approach.
