Introduction: People with high emotional intelligence are more likely to have more satisfaction with life, enjoying a family environment, and sharing their feelings with others. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of emotional intelligence through mobile education on job satisfaction among female staff of Yazd Shahid Sadoughi University of Medical Sciences.
Methods: This was a quasi-experimental study with pre-test post-test design and a control group. To evaluate the job satisfaction, a job questionnaire questionnaire was used. Out of the staff of the Health School, all 50 women were selected by census method as the intervention group. After completing job satisfaction questionnaires by all female staff, emotional intelligence topics were taught to the intervention group through mobile training for 5 weeks. After 40 days, the job satisfaction questionnaires were completed again in both intervention and control groups. Data were analyzed using SPSS software.
Results: The results showed that training emotional intelligence by mobile, significantly influences the job satisfaction, workplace satisfaction, satisfaction from colleagues, and satisfaction from supervisor in female employees of school of public health (P-Value<0.05), but it has no significant effect on the satisfaction from salary and bonus (P-Value>0.05). The results also showed that there was no significant relationship between job satisfaction and demographic characteristics in female employees (P-Value<0.05).
Conclusion: Considering the confirmed effect of emotional intelligence mobile learning on job satisfaction of female employees, it is suggested that university administrators emphasize on the emotional intelligence in order to improve the employees' job satisfaction.

Introduction: Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in men after lung cancer and the second leading cause of cancer death in men. The aim of this study was to investigate and explain the preventive behaviors of prostate cancer based on the health belief model (HBM) among Military men.
Methods: This analytical cross-sectional study was conducted on 253 military men who were selected using stratified random sampling method in the Hormozgan province in 2016. Data collection was performed via a questionnaire, which included questions regarding demographic characteristics, HBM constructs, and prostate cancer preventive behaviors. Data were analyzed using descriptive (frequency, mean, and standard deviation) and analytical statistical methods (linear and Pearson regression coefficients) in SPSS software.
Results: The study showed a significant relationship between the mean scores of perceived susceptibility, benefits, and self-efficacy and the military Men's performance on adopting the preventive behaviors of prostate cancer (P–Value<0.05). Also among the health belief model constructs, perceived barriers (P–Value<0.001) and self-efficacy (P–Value<0.001) were the most important predictor of prostate cancer preventive behavior among military men.
Conclusion: This study suggests that health service professionals should pay attention to predictive constructs including perceived barriers and benefits and self-efficacy in designing and implementing health education programs regarding the prostate cancer.

Introduction: Heat stress in many industries, including steel industries, is a serious threat to the health and safety of workers. The aim of this study was to assess the occupational exposure to heat stress based on the Wet Bulb Globe Temperature index in the steel industry workers.
Methods: This descriptive - analytical study was conducted in 11 workstations with occupational exposure to heat in a steel industry in 2013. A Wet Bulb Globe Temperature meter was used to measure the heat stress. Data were analyzed using SPSS software and inferentional statistics.
Results: The results showed that the highest exposure to heat stress was related to the rolling operator (31.5° C) and the minimal exposure to heat stress was in the operator main room (18.52 ° C). In the case of furnace, lift, ruffing, wrench, rolling work, Scissors, and the lathe operators, the heat exposure exceeded the occupational exposure limits.
Conclusion: The findings of this study showed that working in the steel industries, due to the exothermic processes, is a threat for the health of the workers of this type of industry. Therefore, heat control and interventional plans should be considered to reduce the heat stress in such industries.

Introduction: Prevention of hepatitis B (HBV) infection is mainly based on the vaccination of children at birth, as well as vaccination of the high risk groups such as health providers. The purpose of this study was to determine the efficacy of a single dose of hepatitis B vaccine in health care workers who were non–responders to three doses HBV vaccination.
Methods: This applicatory study was conducted using a quantitative approach. The statistical population were 99 medical personnel of three hospitals of Kurdistan province who had not proper immune response to previous three dose of hepatitis vaccine and were re-vaccinated with a single dose of hepatitis B vaccine, and one month after the first dose of the vaccine, their antibody levels were measured. The data collection tool was a checklist including information about age, sex and smoking as well as the results of receiving a dose of vaccine (Hepatitis B vaccine antibody titer). SPSS software, univariate inferential statistics, and multivariate logistic regression analysis were used to analyze the data.
Results: The results of this study showed that there is a significant relationship between smoking and reduction in immune response. In 55.6% of the vaccinated individuals, one month after the injection, antibody levels were more than 10 mIU/ml. in addtition, the results showed that smoking is significantly realted to the immune system response and results in a reduction in the immune response (P-Value<0.05). There was no relationship between age and sex and immune response (P-Value>0.05).
Conclusion: Injection of an additional dose of hepatitis B vaccine in people who had received three doses previously and had no proper immune response was effective in more than half of the participants and it is cost effective.
