Job satisfaction and occupational stress are considered as two factors affecting the productivity of employees at the workplace in developed organizations. Various physical and psychological effects of occupational stress are more common, which in turn leads to poor job satisfaction.

 This analytic cross-sectional study was performed in winter 2018-spring2019 at health centers in one of the cities of Markazi province, Iran. The data gathering tools were demographic and individual characteristics, Job Description Index (JDI) questionnaire and occupational stress questionnaire (OSQ) Davies. Data are then analyzed using SPSS 20 software.

 The test indicated that occupational stress is generally higher in women (119/848) than in men (108/122), and their job satisfaction (242/450) is lower than men (262/682). There is a negative and significant relationship between occupational stress and job satisfaction (r= 0.001 and p= -0.783) at the significance of level p <0.05. Multivariate regression stated that occupational stress variable is generally able to predict job satisfaction (β=-0.783., p = 0.001). The highest occupational stress and the lowest job satisfaction was related to health care workers.

 Regarding the high percentage of female employees in health centers, it is necessary to pay special attention to their problems. The provision of a proper arrangement and policymaking, allocating financial resources, and resolving economic issues are essential.

Considering the importance of improving maternal and fetus health during pregnancy, the role of training programs is undeniable. This study aimed to examine the effect of education based on the Health Belief Model (HBM) on the promotion of urinary tract infection-preventing behaviors in pregnant women.

The Aquasi-experiment was conducted on 200 Pregnant women (intervention 100 and control 100) referred to Torbat Heydariyeh city health centers by random cluster sampling method in 2017. The data collection tool was a questionnaire based on the HMB model and demographic variables, for which the validity and reliability were reviewed and confirmed. The next step This questionnaire was completed in two stages: before and two months after training. The study hypotheses were tested using the chi-square and independent t-tests, paired t-tests, regression, and Pearson’s tests at a significance level of 0.05.

The average age of the participants was 27 ± 6.17. There was no significant difference in terms of demographic variables and different dimensions of the HBM between the two study groups in the pre-intervention stage. However, after receiving training from the experimental group, a significant difference was observed in the mean and standard deviation (SD) of education knowledge, perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, perceived barriers, perceived benefits, cues to action, efficacy, and behavior in the intervention group (P < 0.001).

The results of this study showed that HBM-based educational intervention could improve preventive behaviors of urinary tract infection; therefore, we suggest that the Theory could be used as a suitable framework to enhance preventive behaviors of urinary tract infection in pregnant women.

human errors are of the most important causes of accidents in medical professions which impose exorbitant costs to the societies. Therefore, the present research was carried out in order to identify and evaluate human errors, using SHERPA technique, among physicians and nurses in emergency unit of one of the hospitals in Semnan. In this qualitative and cross-sectional study, first the aims and procedures were instructed to physicians and nurses and then by using the hierarchical task analysis (HTA), tasks and sub-tasks, related to these occupations, were determined. Next, based on the instruction of SHERPA, the work sheets were completed for 15 nurses and 8 physicians and the obtained data were analyzed. According to results, 359 errors were identified including 128 errors (35.65%) related to physician's tasks and 231 errors (64.34%) related to nurse's tasks. Overall, action errors obtained the highest value (52.65%) and selection errors obtained the lowest value (8/9%) among all errors. Moreover, acceptable errors (with modification) had highest percentage and unacceptable errors had lowest percentage of degree of error's risk. According to the results, in both occupations, action errors (with the most frequency) and for physician's tasks retrieval errors and in nurse's tasks, checking errors (with the most percentage of undesirable risk level) should be considered as priorities for controlling the errors.
