This descriptive analytical study surveyed 150 male and female health workers in Iranshahr City. All participants enrolled in this study using the census method. A two-part questionnaire was applied to collect data, the first part of which gathered demographic information; while the second part concerned with the Maslach Burnout Inventory. SPSS statistical software, version 21 was utilized for data analysis with the implementation of paired t-tests, independent sample t-tests, and one-way analysis of variance.

It was revealed that job burnout was average in  health workers. There was a statistically significant difference (p<0.05) in personal performance intensity scores between various age groups; but the intensity of emotional exhaustion and job depersonalization dimensions did not exhibit any significant difference among age groups (p>0.05). Moreover, there was no significant relationship between job burnout dimensions and the duration of residence in a place among individuals (p>0.05).

Preventing the impact of burnout is crucial for enhancing the lives of patients and improving overall performance within the healthcare system. Attention must be given to eliminating and managing factors that contribute to job burnout.

Evidence shows that a high level of emotional intelligence in health care workers leads to better communication with patients and, ultimately, the pateints’ satisfaction. Considering the undeniable and complex relationship between emotional intelligence and communication skills, the present research was designed and implemented.

The current research is a descriptive-analytical study. The participants included 121 community health workers from Kurdistan Province, Iran. The required data was collected through a communication skills checklist by observation, Queen Dam's communication skills questionnaire, and Shering's Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire. Descriptive statistics, analysis of variance (ANOVA), and linear regression were performed using SPSS (version 21) software.

The results of self-declaration of emotional intelligence and communication skills showed that only 28% of the participants had high emotional intelligence, and 32.2% had high communication skills. The evaluation of communication skills through the observation method showed that the staff obtained a low score with respect to introducing themselves to patients, explaining the treatment process, and keeping the patients calm. Moreover, 40.7% of participants had active listening skills. The r-squared (the coefficient of determination) showed that 86% of the variance of emotional intelligence is related to the variable of communication skills.

Overall, the findings of the present study revealed an average level of emotional intelligence and communication skills among health care workers. Concerning the communication weaknesses observed in the emotional dimensions, it is recommended to intervene appropriately.

Physical manifestation (17%) and stress (3%) were the most and the least observed mental disorders, respectively. Overall, the findings revealed that the average of mental disorders in the studied population was 25±14.

Considering the high importance of improving mental health among health workers, it is necessary to put the necessary trainings to deal with difficu lt conditions on the agenda.

The health of food products is one of the indicators of community health, and health workers provide numerous services in this regard. Therefore, it seems necessary to provide education based on the current situation and existing educational needs. The present study was conducted to investigate the knowledge, attitude, and educational needs of health workers in the field of food health, in the villages of Sirjan, Iran, in 2020.

This cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 77 health workers in the villages of Sirjan in 2020 by census method. Two questionnaires were used to collect the required data, including a questionnaire to measure knowledge and attitude and a researcher-made questionnaire to assess educational needs. Data were analyzed in SPSS version 24 using descriptive statistics.

The mean age of the participants was 23.9±84.37 years. Most of the subjects (67.5%) were female, and 87% of them were married. The mean scores of knowledge and attitude were 7.33±1.03 and 28.23±5.33, respectively, which indicated the average level of knowledge and attitude of health workers in this field. The total mean score of educational needs was estimated at 134.33±3.42. The mean scores of subscales were obtained as follows: personal hygiene (19.29±3.18), kitchenware hygiene (18.75±3.42), building hygiene (45.70±8.99), and food hygiene (51.10±9.15).

The knowledge and attitude of rural health workers of Sirjan in the field of food health were moderate and their educational needs were high. Therefore, it is essential to provide necessary training in the field of food hygiene to improve their knowledge and attitude and meet their educational needs.

Evaluating the effectiveness of various in-service training methods is essential in order to achieve the desired goals and reduce costs in any organization. Therefore, the present study was conducted to investigate the effect of traditional education and e-learning (distance learning) on health workers in Noor city regarding waste management in 1999 based on the Kirk Patrick model. 

The present study was performed by quasi-experimental method in 80 health centers of Noor city. 100 participants in the study were randomly divided into two groups of traditional education and distance education on waste management education. Outcome assessment was performed using the first two levels of the Kirk Patrick model using a questionnaire and test. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and paired t-test, independent t-test and linear regression by SPSS software.  

The results of the paird t-test showed the effect of both methods on improving the learning rate (Pvalue≤0.05) of the respondents regarding rural waste management. The findings of the independent samples t test showed that there was no statistically significant difference (Pvalue≥0.05) between the satisfaction score with a mean difference of 0.1 and the learning rate of health workers with a mean difference of 0.02 in the two groups. The results of linear regression test showed that the level of literacy had a statistically significant relationship (Pvalue≤0.05 = β = 0.30) but about the age, there was no statistically significant relationship (Pvalue≥0.05) with the amount of learning. 

 Traditional and e-learning methods had a similar effect on health workers' learning in the field of waste management. Therefore, it is necessary that in-service training programs for community health workers, use e-learning methods in combination with other methods for their professional improvement.

Work environments have harmful physical, social, and workplace psychological factors that can affect people's health and disrupt other areas of people's lives. Workplace human resources spend at least a third of their lives at work, and the pressures and stresses of work can jeopardize their health and, consequently, threaten organizational interests and goals. Decreasing the performance of the individual, the amount of productivity of the organization also decreases. In recent years, one of the most critical issues and problems in administrative systems, including occupational hazards that have attracted the attention of researchers, is the issue of public health and burnout of individuals in an organization. Due to the recorded adverse effects of burnout, this syndrome can affect job performance, such as quality of work, general health, and job satisfaction. One of the main inevitable consequences of job stress is burnout, affecting the quality of care provided by health workers. This study aimed to determine the relationship between burnout and general health in health workers in Arak health centers.

In this descriptive-analytical study, 110 health workers working in the Arak health center were studied. The number of samples was done using census, and all health workers working in Arak Health Center were selected. Data collection tools in this study were a 22-item Maslach burnout questionnaire and a 28-item general health questionnaire. The data of this study were analyzed using descriptive data and one-way ANOVA, and Pearson correlation coefficient by SPSS22 software.

According to the findings of this study, there was a significant relationship between general health and burnout, meaning that people with higher general health experienced lower rates of burnout. The status of burnout was moderate among the health workers studied. The burnout scores of male and female health workers were almost the same, and there was no significant difference between them. There was a statistically significant direct relationship between general health and emotional fatigue and depersonalization using Kendall, Pearson, and Spearman test. A statistically significant inverse relationship was observed between general health and personal inadequacy.

Considering the relationship between burnout and public health, the Arak city health center managers must implement programs to promote and improve job motivation, human relations, and a sense of self-efficacy. Promoting general health and reducing the burnout rate of health workers should be a priority for the University of Medical Sciences managers.

Health workers are the most fundamental elements of the health system whose mission is to improve the health of the rural community. Assessing and measuring the level of health is one of the important health issues. Health is a broad concept with multiple dimensions including physical, mental, and social health. Social health is a concept that has become increasingly important in scientific, policy, and executive circles. Social health emphasizes aspects of health related to a personchr('39')s relationship with other people or the communities in which he lives. One of the factors affecting social health is quality of life. Quality of life is a multidimensional concept affected by many important factors such as physical and mental conditions. Assessing the quality of life is important in order to determine physical, mental, and social performance. These dimensions can be discussed independently, but there is a correlation between them. Certainly, the development of health promotion programs in the community, regardless of the social and cultural context of the community in question leads to inefficient solutions. Despite the importance of health workerschr('39') work, their high volume of work, and pathological consequences, few studies are conducted on the qualitative and social fields of health workers. As a result, it is necessary to pay attention to their physical, mental, and social health and quality of life. Achieving goals in the field of health requires preventing death, reducing disability, improving the quality of life, and efficient workforce. Since health workers are at the forefront of health care centers, it is necessary to have good social health and quality of life to provide services to villagers. Therefore, this study was conducted to determine the social health and quality of life in health workers in Qorveh and Dehgolan in 2019.

This study was conducted to evaluate the social health and quality of life of health workers in Qorveh and Dehgolan cities affiliated to Kurdistan University of Medical Sciences. This was a descriptive cross-sectional study and included 198 health workers working in health centers in Qorveh and Dehgolan cities. Among them, 87 were working in 42 health centers of Dehgolan and 111 in 58 health centers of Qorveh. Samples were selected by census sampling method. After obtaining approval from the Research Ethics Committee and receiving a letter of introduction from Iran University of Medical Sciences and submitting it to Kurdistan University of Medical Sciences, the researcher obtained permission to participate in the research. In order to observe ethical considerations, the researcher first explained the objectives and method of the study to the officials of Qorveh and Dehgolan health centers, and in collaboration with them attended the workshops where the researcher attended as a lecturer and after obtaining informed consent, the researched distributed demographic information form, Social Health Questionnaire, and SF-36 Quality of Life Questionnaire among health workers to complete in 10 days and deliver to Qorveh health workers, and then to Dehgolan Welfare Training Center, and subsequently to Dehgolan Health Center. The researcher thanked the health workers and collected the information of the health workers who were absent during the workshops hold in the health centers. After collecting information which lasted for 3 months, the data were analyzed using SPSS software version 16.

The findings of the present study showed that most of the health workers participating in this study were women, their average age was 37 years, the majority were married, and officially employed, and had a diploma degree. Most of them assessed their economic situation as moderate, owned a house, and had no underlying diseases. The total score of social health was 69.28 ± 7.6 which indicates the average social health in health workers. The highest and lowest mean scores obtained among the dimensions of social health were social cohesion with an average of 4.09 ± 20.67 and social acceptance with an average of 2.96 ± 0.64, respectively. The total score of quality of life of health workers was 63.30 ± 20.87, which indicates their average quality of life. Quality of life was the highest in the dimension of physical function with an average of 73.35 ± 29.74, and was the lowest in the dimension of general health with an average of 57.82 ± 21.74. Also, the physical health dimension with an average of 63.85 ± 24.58 was higher than the mental health dimension with an average of 62.75 ± 21.29. The only variable that had a statistically significant relationship with the social health of health workers was housing status (p = 0.005). Tukeychr('39')s multiple comparison showed that the average score of social health obtained for health workers with a private home was significantly higher than those with a rental house (p = 0.005), and the difference was not significant in other cases. But all demographic variables of health workers had a statistically significant relationship with quality of life. The results showed that the quality of life in male health workers compared to the females (p = 0.012), health workers with diploma degree compared to health workers with secondary education (p <0.001), single health workers compared to married ones (p <0.001), and health workers who had no history of disease was higher (p <0.001). Age was another variable that had a statistically significant relationship with quality of life (p <0.001). Quality of life in health workers with formal employment was significantly lower than corporate health workers (p <0.001) and also contracted ones (p = 0.007), and this difference was not significant at other levels. Quality of life in health workers with more than 20 years of experience was significantly lower than health workers with 10 - 19 years of experience (p <0.001) and also less than 10 years of experience (p <0.001). The quality of life in health workers with poor economic status was significantly lower than those with average economic status (p = 0.04) and this difference was not significant at other levels. Housing status was another variable that had a statistically significant relationship with quality of life (p = 0.009). Also, the mean score of quality of life obtained for health workers with a private home was significantly higher than those with a rental house (p = 0.018) and in other cases this difference was not significant.

The present study showed that the social health of health workers was average and higher than the mean score of 60. The highest and lowest scores obtained in the dimensions of social health were social cohesion and social acceptance, respectively. Also, the quality of life of health workers was moderate. Health workers obtained the highest score in the physical function dimension and the lowest score in the general health dimension. The mean score in the physical dimension was higher than the mental health dimension. The study on the effect of demographic variables showed that the only variable with a statistically significant relationship with social health was housing status and the difference was not significant for the other cases. All demographic variables of health workers had a statistically significant relationship with quality of life. Variables of quality of life and social health are dynamic concepts that change over time. Examining and measuring this concept depicts the status of human development in society, so continuous monitoring of quality of life and social health is essential. The health system will have the desired efficiency when the problems and needs of its employees are taken into account in its design and management. The results of this study highlight the importance of implementing health education and health promotion interventions in the field of social health and quality of life among employees.

Hospital infections are one of the most important problems in each health care system the use of social media provides a powerful tool in the education process for health educators. The aim of this study was to evaluate the quality of the educational programs delivered through telegram messenger and its influence on improving the awareness of health workers in the prevention of hospital infections.

This was a descriptive-analytical cross-sectional study. All health workers in Bam health houses were enrolled in a census method. The trainings were provided to the target group through telegram messenger and the awareness of participants was measured before and after the training via questionnaires. Thereafter, the data were analyzed by SPSS-23 software.

In this study, the mean score of participants before and after training was 9.9 ±3.6 and 16.6 ±3.7 out of a total of 26 scores respectively; finally, the difference in scores before and after the training was significant.

The use of social media and the telegram messenger has a positive effect on increasing the awareness of health workers about nosocomial infections.

The necessity of governing ethics is desirable in the work environments and is universally accepted. Ethical performance is based on the ethical criteria that employees are expected to adhere to. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between ethical educational needs and ethical efficiency in health workers of Sistan province. This is a descriptive correlational study. Data of 377 healthcare providers of Sistan rural areas were collected through a multi-stage cluster sampling method.  Information was collected with a valid and reliable questionnaire. The data were analyzed by SPSS 19 software using descriptive correlation, independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, and Pearson correlation coefficient. The results showed mean score of the need for ethical education of health care providers was relatively high (with respect to the maximum of the score), and the ethical performance of health care workers was low. There was also a significant and inverse relationship between score of ethical educational needs and ethical performance of health care providers (P >0.05). Based on the results, there was a significant and inverse relationship between ethical educational needs and ethical performance of health care providers. Providers who had a higher level of information and less educational needs had higher ethical performance. So, implementation of educational programs based on ethical educational needs is recommended for increasing ethical performance of health care providers as they are first-line practitioners who interact with people and health care clients.

Job burnout is a term to describe the negative changes in attitudes and behavior of people exposed to work stress. This study aimed to measure the intensity of burnout among rural health workers and to determine its related factors in Northeastern provinces of Iran.
In this cross-sectional study a total of 548 rural health workers (Behvarz) working in medical universities of Shahroud, Sabzevar, Neishabour, Bojnourd and Semnan randomly were selected and investigated through Maslach Burnout Inventory. Data were analyzed using proportional ordered logistic regression and chi-square tests.
Most of the participants (71%) were female and married (90%). 14.6% of the participants were completely satisfied with their income and 7.4% with their essential facilities. Despite moderate satisfaction with their income and essential facilities, more than 75% of the rural health workers were highly interested in their job. The mean score of the intensity of emotional exhaustion, lack of personal accomplishment, depersonalization, conflict and burnout among the participants were 16.9±15.60, 35.5±13.54, 4.8±5.07, 6.1±4.66, and 63.1±25.14, respectively. Significant relationships were observed between burnout and factors including satisfaction with income and essential facilities, interest in job, gender, and place of residence.
Although burnout among rural health workers is low, the intensity of emotional exhaustion, lack of personal accomplishment in health workers with experience of over 10 years is high. The opportunity to transfer high experienced workers to health houses close to city center, and providing the opportunity of continuation of education and academic and job promotion can improve the situation.
