Abstract
Background and Aim: An Adapting work condition with physical and mental conditions of employees is an essential factor to do the job effectively. This study
was conducted to determine the relationship between employees occupational accidents and absence from work in Shiraz Namazi Hospital.
Materials and Methods: This descriptive-analytical and cross-sectional study was done in Shiraz Namazi Hospital at 2010. One Hundred and sixty employees in
different departments of the hospital with a random stratified sampling were enrolled in this study. Data were collected using the checklist consisting of three
parts: demographic information, types of occupational accidents and three open questions to enumerate other occupational accidents, diseases resulting from
occupational accidents and possible causes of exposure to this accidents. Data were analyzed using the SPSS software and using descriptive statistics and chi square & t tests.
Results: Out of 160, 159 participants responded and returned the questionnaire,out of which 68.9% were females. Cuts with sharp objects (22%) and toxicity
resulting from working with solvents (82%) were the lowest and highest nonexposure in sample's studies, respectively. A statistically significant relationship
between gender, work shift, organizational status and duration of employment with the occurrence of a number of occupational accidents was observed.
Conclusion: According to the results, there was no clear relationship between absences from work and frequency of each occupational accident. We recommend
the hospitals to consider notebooks for recording occupational accidents and theirway of occurrence. Also , training courses for employees shoud be in priority.

Abstract
Background and Aim: Hospital internal evaluation is considered as one of the most important steps in strategic planning. Therefore, besides the recognition of the weaknesses and limitations of the organization, especially affecting issues on the performance, the responsibility of the organization will be defined. This study was performed for the assessment of internal environment of the Gachsaran's Shahid Rajai Hospital based on Weisbord Organizational Diagnosis model.
Materials and Methods: In a cross-sectional study, 123 hospital staff were selected using random sampling formula. Data was collected using Weisbord Questionnaire which consisted of 35 questions in seven areas. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS statistical software and the t-test.
Results: Among six variables studied, variable communication with 3/15 ± 1/25 mean and standard deviation has the best situation and reward mechanism with the mean and standard deviation of 4/59 ± 1/32 was the worst. There was a meaningful difference among all variables except for the leadership variable.
Conclusion: Based on the findings of this study, Gachsaran's Shahid Rajai hospital has strength in the fields of goals, organizational structure, coordination, and internal organizational communication

Abstract
Background & Aim: One of the most important and useful models for assessing hospital performance is the Pabon Lasso Model, a graphical model that determines the relative performance of hospitals using three indicators: 1. Bed Occupancy Rate (BOR); 2. Bed turnover (BTO); 3 Average Length of Stay (ALS). The aim of this research is to investigate the performance of the hospitals affiliated with Tehran University of Medical Sciences in Iran during the year 2011 based on the Pabon Lasso Model.
Materials & Methods: This descriptive and cross-sectional study conducted in 2011. All the 16 hospitals affiliated to Tehran University of Medical Sciences formed the study population. Data was analyzed by Excel software and Pabon lasso model.
Results: The following average results for each performance indicator were obtained: Average Length of Stay (ALS) = 6.55 days. Bed Occupancy Rate (BOR) = 74.151% and Bed Turnover (BTO) = 70.24 times per year18.75% hospitals were located in the Pabon Lasso Model zone 1.25% hospitals in zone 2.25% of hospitals in zone 3, and 31.25% hospitals in zone 4 of the model.
Conclusion: The study showed that 75% of the studied hospitals were inefficient. Applying Pabon Lasso model compared hospital's performance. Thus, using one of the active ways of problem recognition in hospitals and perceiving the relation of performance indicators will be helpful in establishing new policy and reviewing current policy in order to maximize performance capacity.

Abstract
Background and Aim: Health literacy is recognized as a key determinant of health and is a central focus of public health policy strategies. The present study aimed to assess the health literacy level and identify the factors influencing it among the clients of comprehensive health service centers in Ilam city.
Materials and Methods: In 2022, a descriptive-analytical study was conducted to examine 429 clients aged 18-65 years who visited comprehensive selected health service centers in Ilam city. For adults the data collection tool used was the Helia health literacy questionnaire. Sampling was conducted in nine clusters, with each cluster consisting of 50 samples. The data was analyzed using SPSS software, which included descriptive statistical tests, Pearson’s correlation coefficient, and one-way analysis of variance, with a significance level set at 0.05.
Results: Based on the results, the average health literacy score was 80.16 ± 16.50. In terms of health literacy, 18.97% of people had inadequate or not very adequate health literacy, while 44.39% of the participants had excellent health literacy. The average health literacy scores across different dimensions are as follows: access to health information 65.74, comprehension of information 81/81, reading information skills 12.74, evaluation of information 05.75, and decision making and behavior based on information 61.92. A significant relationship was observed between job, education, and income variables and various dimensions of average health literacy (p-value≤0.001). However, there was no significant relationship between general health literacy and age, gender, and place of residence (P≤0.05).
Conclusion: The results of the present study demonstrate that vulnerable groups have significantly lower literacy levels. Furthermore, given the impact of education on enhancing people’s health literacy, it is advisable to leverage mass media, social networks, and educational centers to enhance literacy levels as a potential factor in community health.

Abstract
Background and Aim: There is limited evidence about the effect of the corona disease epidemic on the efficiency of hospitals in Iran. This study was conducted with the aim of investigating the effect of the Covid-19 epidemic on the productivity of public hospitals in Ilam province.
Materials and Methods: This retrospective descriptive research has investigated the performance of 9 hospitals in Ilam province during a four-year period(1397-1400) based on the Pabon Lasso graphic model. The desired data were extracted from the HIS system of the hospitals and the key performance indicators of BOR, BTR and ALOS were calculated. The Pabon Lasso diagram was drawn with Excel software.
Results: The results showed that the bed occupancy percentage in teaching hospitals is significantly higher than non-teaching hospitals (P<0.05). Based on the results, the percentage of bed occupancy and the rate of bed rotation after the covid 19 pandemic has decreased significantly (P<0.05). The average length of the stay of patients also increased after the pandemic (P<0.05). Overall evaluation of hospital efficiency based on the Pabén Lasso model shows that the frequency of hospitals located in Nakara district has decreased from 4 hospitals before the pandemic to 3 hospitals, although hospitals in Kara district have not changed during this period.
Conclusion: Most of the researched hospitals, especially non-teaching hospitals, have low bed occupancy. Weakness in the service delivery chain, especially diagnostic services and specialized and super-specialized services, is one of the main reasons for this situation. Moving towards a change in the way hospitals are managed and having more flexibility in the structure and implementation in the short term and prioritizing large hospitals with a complete chain of services can lead to a way out of the current inefficient situation.
