“…At the same time there are no regulatory mechanisms for protecting the rights of medical workers as well as regulating the responsibility of citizens for such crimes. Some authors substantiate the need to revise the current criminal legislation in terms of establishing additional guarantees that ensure the protection of the life and health of medical workers in connection with the performance of their official duties and make proposals for its improvement (Petrova et al, 2018). Other researchers believe that the legal status of medical workers differs and should occupy a special place in the system of regulation of labor relations and consider medical workers as special subjects of labor law defining the specifics of the profession, which has distinctive features in the form of a focus on preserving the life / health of the patient, high legal responsibility, expressed by the stressful nature of work, which is harmful and dangerous.…”

The article presents the research of the opinions of a professional group of doctors (N=1041) on topical problems of protecting the rights of medical workers in the exercise of their labor functions associated with the risky nature of medical activities, an increase in legal responsibility, workload and the progressive aggression of patients. The authors used sociological and statistical research methods. The significance of differences between the values was determined using the Student's t-test (p<0.05, t≥2). Recent years have been characterized by a pronounced increase in the number of complaints of patients to medical workers and institutions related to the medical care provision and the onset of various kinds of responsibility of doctors in the implementation of professional activities. The problem of legal insecurity of medical workers are the following: ambiguity of their legal status in the field of labor legislation, vulnerability in the event of adverse outcomes in professional activity, uncertainty of actions in the event of aggression (attacks) by patients. The leading rank places among the influencing factors are the depreciation of the benefits of medical specialists working in hazardous working conditions and aggression of patients. According to doctors' opinion these negative factors can be overcome by toughening the penalty for the use of violence against medical workers performing their duties.
