Abstract
Background & Objectives: The rate of burnout may be high in unfertilized women, since there is little known
about it, we designed a study to compare "couple burnout" between fertilized and unfertilized women in Tehran,
Iran.
Methods: All (60 women) referred unfertilized women to reproductive center of Imam Khomeini teaching hospital
were included in our study during 2009 year. By systematic random sampling we recruited 60 unfertilized women
as control group. Couple Burnout’s specific questionnaire was filled up by participants.
Results: Unfertilized women experienced higher levels of couple burnout compared to fertilized cases (P<0.001).
Furthermore unfertilized women with higher education showed an elevated rate of couple burnout than women
with lower educational status (P=0.002).
Conclusion: In management of unfertilized families, "couple burnout" is an important underlying factor that should
be considered in infertility treatment in primary health care system.

Results: A total of 770 individuals were selected for the study, of whom 345 (44.8%) were male. The mean age ± standard deviation of the participants was 42.6±8.4. Analysis of the quality of life pathway of the participants showed an appropriate model (RMSEA= 0.014, CFI=0.999, NFI = 0.991, TLI = 0.994, CMIN/DF = 1.146). In addition, general health (0.560) and physical activity (0.078) had a direct correlation and occupational burnout (-0.178) and age (-0.082) had an inverse correlation with quality of life.

This study aimed to identify the association between occupational burnout and driving behavior among the employees of Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences.
Materials and Methods: A descriptive- analytical study was conducted on 1629 employees of Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences that were selected using random sampling. The employees completed a demographic questionnaire, Maslach Burnout Inventory, and Manchester Driver Behavior Questionnaire. The data were assessed based on a Likert scale.
Results: The results of occupational burnout analysis showed that the mean scores of emotional exhaustion (72.2-22.2-5.6%), cynicism (0.6-42.8-51.6) and professional inefficacy (31.8-21.8-46.4%) were mild, moderate and severe, respectively. The results also showed a significant relationship between depersonalization disorder and unintentional driving violations (P=0.026), driving-related errors and self-adequacy (p=0.023), and occupational burnout and driving behavior and the variables of gender, shift work, working hours, and educational groups. In general, occupational burnout was higher in women than in men (P<0.05).
Conclusion: Educational programs can improve low - risk driving ability among this group of employees. Psychological and counseling services should be reinforced in organizations so that the employees attain the ability to adapt to occupational psychological pressures to reduce occupational burnout in the long term.
