Abstract
Introduction& Purpose: One of the challenges that organizations face today is the issue of retaining employees in the organization. Meanwhile, addressing the causes of early retirement among health workers is doubly important. The aim of this study was to investigate the causes of early retirement in retirees of Yazd University of Medical Sciences.
Methods: The present descriptive research was conducted to find the causes of early retirement among retirees of staff of Yazd Medical Sciences between 2016 and 2018. Collecting dada was done by examining the personnel file, retirement system and through interviewing people. Data description was done using descriptive statistics and SPSS.21 software.
Results: The average number of years of service lost was 3.7 years. In total, there were more than 528 years of service lost. Regarding job characteristics, the majority of retirees were employed in service and nursing positions (4701%), in hospital (45%) and health centers (42.9%). The study of the causes of early retirement showed that the most common causes of retirement were related to boring work environment (55.7%), physical problems and underlying diseases (40.7%) and lack of support from officials (24.3%).
Conclusion: According to the findings, multilateral support in the organization, promotion of rewards and economic benefits, creating morale in the organization, observing the principles of mental health, reducing anxiety and creating hope and increasing participation of employees in the decision-making process can be effective in reducing early retirement.

Abstract
Background and purpose: The organ transplant network is among the most complex and challenging systems in the healthcare sector. This study presents a three-objective hierarchical location model for kidney transplants, aiming to simultaneously minimize total time and costs while maximizing geographic equity in the supply and demand network for donated kidneys. Various transportation modes within the network are also analyzed.
Materials and Methods: This applied research was conducted over a one-year period in 2022 (1401 in the Iranian calendar) in the province of Sistan and Baluchistan. The proposed mathematical model was implemented in GAMS software and solved using the Torabi-Hosseini method and epsilon constraint technique.
Results: The model recommended establishing candidate locations for organ collection units and transplant centers without the need for air transport equipment. It suggested that only the candidate location number 2 at Zabol Hospital Transplant Center should be equipped with air transport facilities, while the other proposed locations do not require the establishment or use of air emergency services.
Conclusion: The results indicate that the designed kidney transplant network is practical and feasible. Efficient network management ensures that all organ recipients, even those far from the provincial center and in remote areas, have timely access to the necessary facilities and equipment for transplant operations.
