This study compared the conceptions about mental illness of administrative professionals, nurses and doctors of emergency health services in the city of Londrina, PR. The design was cross-sectional, using the Opinions about Mental Illness (OMI) scale with a random sample of 30% of the professionals, totaling 96 subjects in the period 2010 to 2011. The data was statistically analyzed by the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS); with two factors of the OMI scale and nurses, there was normality in the sampling distribution. The Kruskall-Wallis test indicated a significant variation with respect to four of the seven factor components of the OMI (p <0.05). The professionals that work in emergency health services require training in the area of mental health, and there is a need for further studies on this topic, with a larger number of subjects.
