The most repeated forms of violence were verbal aggression, 70% (160) and moral harassment, 50% (29). In physical aggression and sexual harassment, the main aggressors were patients, 42.9% (6). Escorts or relatives accounted for 71.9% (115) of cases of verbal aggression. In bullying, 43.1% (25) of the perpetrators were co-workers of the same profession as the victim. The morning hours accounted for 43.8% (70) of physical aggression, 50% (7) of verbal aggression, 50% (29) of bullying and 57.1% (8) of sexual harassment. A statistical association was identified between the young age group and sexual harassment (p = 0.010); Be divorced and suffer verbal aggression (p = 0.048); Daytime work and verbal aggression (p = 0.042); Less experience time and suffer verbal aggression (p = 0.030); Evaluation of the workplace as unsafe and suffering occupational violence (p = 0.000) and suffer verbal aggression (p = 0.004); Report violent leadership and suffer occupational violence (p = 0.048) and physical aggression (p = 0.018); Report violent companions and suffer verbal aggression (p = 0.037); Report violent physicians and suffer moral harassment (p = 0.001) and sexual harassment (p = 0.000); Lack of security or police and suffer verbal aggression (p = 0.031); Lack of training on violence and sexual harassment (p = 0.035); Witnessing violence and suffering occupational violence (p = 0.000) and verbal aggression (p = 0.000). For the implementation of measures and interventions aimed at workers' health, not only the elements intrinsically linked to the work process, but also the external elements must be considered; It is necessary a set of actions that include health professionals, administrators and managers, public policies, economic, social and cultural factors.
