OBJECTIVE: To measure and characterize the aggressions suffered by health professionals in the field of primary care in Tenerife between 2018-2019 (pre-pandemic) and 2020-2021 (pandemic). Secondly, to analyze the degree of knowledge of the professionals in relation to the procedure for action against aggressions as well as the existing security measures and aspects that could be improved for their protection.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: Observational, descriptive and cross-sectional study using a self-completed form electronically. It was disseminated through the different communication channels with health professionals, being available between March and April 2022. The quantitative variables were analyzed using measures of central tendency and dispersion, and the qualitative variables in percentage, also performing a bivariate analysis using the Chi square and Student's T.

RESULTS: 72.50% of the participants have suffered some type of aggression in the workplace and they are more frequent causes in the metropolitan area of Tenerife, which are produced fundamentally by the patient and their relatives. These aggressions are mostly verbal and occur in greater quantity towards women with the category of nurse.

CONCLUSIONS: Nursing is the category that suffers the most aggressions in primary care in Tenerife, regardless of the area of the island where they carry out their work.
