The healthcare professional plays a key role in the detection and subsequent channeling of a situation of violence to a judicial level for appropriate investigation. The mandatory reporting of gender violence has become a controversial issue among health care practitioners and victims. The objective of this study was to analyze the quality of the way in which injury reports on victims of gender violence is completed, through an analysis of the information they include, the readability and the degree to which the document can be understood. A retrospective study in a sample of 197 injury reports were performed from health services (primary care, hospital services and emergency services). We analyzed 22 variables related to the content, readability of the document, the victim's identification data as well as identification of the doctor responsible for assistance, the moment of assistance and the characteristics of the injury. The most frequent deficiencies in the data are identification of the doctor responsible for medical attention, the date on which the aggression occurred, a description of the injuries and the judgment of compatibility between the cause of injury (according to the victim) and the actual injury they have. The injury reports do not conform to the legal requirements needed in a document of such extraordinary importance. Greater awareness in health professionals concerning the importance of the injury report as a medicolegal document is needed so that the correct information can be provided to the relevant judicial authority.
医疗保健专业人员在发现暴力情况并随后将其提交司法层面进行适当调查方面发挥着关键作用。强制性报告性别暴力已成为医疗保健从业者和受害者之间有争议的问题。本研究的目的是通过分析性别暴力受害者伤害报告所包含的信息、可读性以及文件可理解的程度，来分析填写此类报告的质量。对来自卫生服务机构（初级保健、医院服务和急救服务）的197份伤害报告样本进行了回顾性研究。我们分析了22个与内容、文件可读性、受害者身份数据以及负责救助的医生身份、救助时间和伤害特征相关的变量。数据中最常见的不足之处在于负责医疗护理的医生的身份识别、攻击发生的日期、伤害的描述以及伤害原因（根据受害者所述）与他们实际所受伤害之间的一致性判断。伤害报告不符合如此重要文件所需的法律要求。需要提高卫生专业人员对伤害报告作为法医学文件重要性的认识，以便能够向相关司法当局提供正确信息。
