Resumo: The present work is a descriptive and retrospective study aimed at determining the profile of women who had attempted suicide and were treated at an information and toxicological assistance center in Parana, Brazil, in 2008. Records of toxicological occurrences were used to compile the following variables: month of occurrence, age, patient's occupation and origin, location in which the suicide attempt (SA) occurred, type of agent used, associated pathology and type of treatment performed before the SA occurred; history of prior SAs, and the clinical evolution of the case. Three hundred eight (308) SA records were found. Most occurred in the age group of 20-59 years (70.38%). The most common agent used to attempt suicide was medication, found in 250 cases (81.70%). Depression was found to be the most common mental disorder, in 36 cases (25.35%), and most cases, 171 women (67.06%), showed no history of prior attempts. Most cases, 289 (96.33%), evolved into a cure. It is important to highlight the importance of studying specific groups as regards the occurrence of SA and women's vulnerability to this issue.

Se utilizaron los registros de incidencia toxicológica para compilación de las siguientes variables: mes del hecho; edad, ocupación y procedencia de la paciente y lugar del intento de suicidio (IS); tipo de agente utilizado; patología asociada y tipo de tratamiento realizado hasta el momento del hecho; historial de intentos anteriores y evolución clínica del caso. Se encontraron 308 registros de IS. La mayoría ocurrió entre los 20 y 59 años (70,38%). El agente mas utilizado como medio para el IS fue el medicamento con 250 casos (81,70%). La depresión fue el trastorno mental mas encontrado, 36 (25,35%), y la mayoría (171 mujeres ó 67,06%), no presentó historial de intentos anteriores. La mayoría de los casos evolucionó para la cura 289 (96,33%). Se recalca la importancia de que se estudien los grupos específicos en cuanto a la incidencia de IS y a la vulnerabilidad femenina ante esta problemática.Trata-se de um estudo de caráter descritivo e retrospectivo que objetivou estabelecer o perfil de mulheres que tentaram suicídio e foram atendidas em um centro de informação e assistência toxicológica do Paraná, no ano de 2008.

Foram encontrados 308 registros de TS. A maioria ocorreu na faixa etária de 20 a 59 anos (70,38%). O meio mais utilizado para TS foi o medicamento, com 250 casos (81,70%). A depressão foi o transtorno mental mais encontrado, com 36 casos (25,35%), e a maioria (171 mulheres ou 67,06%) não apresentou histórico de tentativas anteriores. A maioria dos casos evoluiu para a cura 289 (96,33%).
