- Abstract
Objective: to know about the aspects related to the road traffic accidents. Method: it is a descriptive and exploratory study, with a quantitative approach, performed in Natal/RN/Brazil, in the Monsenhor Walfredo Gurgel Hospital, where forms were used for data collection. The sample was composed of 70 patients injured by road traffic accidents. Data were categorized and processed by the program Microsoft Excel 2000, in Windows XP platform. The study was approved by the Ethics Research Committee, under CAAE nº 0144.0.051.294-09. Results: 30% were pedestrians or passengers and 70% were drivers, of which 43% were not qualified, in other words, they did not have the Brazilian Driving License. Conclusion: as a reflection of this study, we have designed a Government Project fostered by the Education Sector of the State Traffic Department from the Rio Grande do Norte State (DETRAN/RN), called Traffic Transversal Activities in the Public and Private Education Networks. The aforementioned project aims at establishing a didactic and educational process that allows us to build a new perception of social values and education, by contributing to the life quality.
