Emergency department work is recognized as one of the professions where the team is confronted with multiple and repeated stressful situations. We conducted an assessment of this topic with our emergency department team.The objective of our work was to determine the degree of stress among all members of the emergency department team and to identify the different stressors in order to modify them and improve the work environment.This is a descriptive study conducted at the Ibn Jazzar Kairouan Emergency Department, involving 44 healthcare professionals. The study period was from November 2024 to January 31, 2025.We used the Karasake questionnaire.The responses to these questions are closed-ended, using a four-point .  In practice, if the psychological demands score is above 20 and the decision latitude score is below 71, the employee is in the "strained" quadrant and therefore considered to be experiencing job strain.We included 44 participants. The participation rate was 86% for general practitioners . The majority of the population (34.9%) were between 45 and 49 years old. We noted a clear female predominance, with a sex ratio of 4.5. The sample study consisted of 37 general practitioners.The majority of participants (72.7%) reported working variable 24-hour shifts.A high prevalence of high psychological demands was noted among general practitioners and residents, with 65.1% of participants reporting a high level. The median psychological demands score was 29 points, indicating high psychological demands. Ninety-five percent of participants reported a medium to high decisional attitude. . Interpreting these different results placed our population within the "stressed" or job-strain category for the overall population.Overall, 60% of participants were classified as stressed, placing the majority of our study sample within the "job strain" quadrant of the Karasek model. These findings are consistent with literature indicating that women physicians often report higher stress levels due to a combination of professional and personal demands.This study assesses the level of stress in the Ibn Jazzar Emergency Department. It was concluded that healthcare staff experienced significant stress, suggesting the need for improved working conditions and better organization of the healthcare structure.
