Purpose: To study and analyze the presence of aggression in the workplace among medical professionals in emergency departments. Material/Methods: The study included 227 medical and non-medical personnel from emergency units in the Varna region. Documentary, sociological, and statistical methods are applied. The study was carried out in 2023. Results: A large proportion of emergency workers were the object of aggression from patients or their relatives during work (84.1%, n=191). The object of aggression is the employees in the age group of 51-65 years (35.2%, n=80). More often, aggression is verbal aggression. Doctors and nurses are the object of aggression more often than other categories of staff.
