RESUMO
Introduction: manpower providing health and treatment care has a crucial contribution to public health, therefore maintaining and improving the quality of health care providers is required for quality of providing service. An aspect that has impact on their health is occupation and job satisfaction
Objective: present study is designed to examine predictive factors of public health based on job satisfaction of health service centers' employees
Methods: this study is a cross sectional descriptive-analytic study conducted in 2012. In this study, census method was used for sampling. 252 personnel of health centers participated in this study and data collection tool included three questionnaires of Job Description Index [JDI], General Health Questionnaire [GHQ] and demographic characteristic questionnaire which were used after establishment of its validity and reliability. Data was analyzed using descriptive and analytical tests [Mann Whitney- Kruskal Wallis
Results: findings showed that only 47.6% of staff had good general health. About 63.16% of employees were satisfied most level of satisfaction was in colleague domain [76.83%] and least level of satisfaction was in salary domain [41.5%]. Results indicated that from domain studied, only related and predicted areas of public health were colleague domain [p<0.049] and work environment condition [p<0.043] therefore the chance of general health increased by increasing level of satisfaction with colleague and work condition. Among the demographic characteristics, education [p<0.043] and management position [p<0.035] were identified as predictors of publichealth
Conclusion: in attention to obtained results, it can be said that the relationship between work and health is mutual and for improving the two concepts, planning and appropriate interventions are needed. And this intervention can lead to increased job satisfaction and staff physical and mental health
RESUMO
Introduction: fasting in word means refuse to eat or drink, and not to do or say anything unreligious. Fasting affects spiritual and emotional aspects of human and stress is also an emotional variable. Although it is believed that a little stress is necessary for daily living but excess stress has serious side effects on body, mind and social relationships. In last years, there has been an increasing emphasis on decreasing stress by means of non - invasive and non - medical methods that are justified in a particular culture. The researchers were interested to assess the effects of fasting in Ramadan on students' level of stress through an applied research
Objective: the main goal of study was to determine the relationship between fasting and students' stress level during and after Ramadan. The assumption of the study was that fasting affects students' stress level
Materials and Methods: this study was cross - sectional and the sample consisted of 110 male students living in dormitories who were randomly chosen. The data collection instrument was a two-part questionnaire. The first part covered demographic data and the second part consisted of Hamilton's Stress Checklist. At first, students' stress level was measured at fourth week of Ramadan and then after a month, it was remeasured
Results: the results indicated that the students stress level was medium and showed a significant correlation between stress during and after Ramadan [P< %01]. Stress decrease was not related to age, level of education or tea consumption assumption. Smokers had higher level of stress in Ramadan [P< %05]
Conclusion: the research results showed that the study assumption was accepted and fasting in Ramadan influences student's stress level
