Research statistical society included all nurses in Abdanan, Darehshahar, and Dehloran in Ilam Province of Iran (N=198). Hundred and thirty one people were selected using Cochrane's formula and random sampling. Data was collected via professional behavior questionnaire and organizational commitement questionnaire. Data was analyzed via descriptive and analytical statistics. 
Results: The result of Pearson correlation test showed that there was a positive and significant relationship between professional behavior and organizational commitement (p<0/01=, r=0/558). Also there were positive and significant relationships between professional behavior and nurses' emotional commitement (p<0/01, r=0/435), nurses' continuous commitement (p<0/01, r=0/506) and nurses' normative commitement (p<0/01, r=0/519). 
Conclusion: There was a significant relationship between professional behavior and organizational commitement of nurses. Therefore, we suggest that hospital executives and policymakers provide appropriate situation for improving the variables of nursing professional behavior.

Abstract
Background and Aim: The field of pre-hospital rapid response teams is facing major challenges in the field of chemical, biological, radiation and nuclear accidents. Considering that the country of Iran is exposed to the occurrence of these incidents, the possibility of the danger of these incidents and threats cannot be ignored. This study was conducted with the aim of determining effective factors in the formation of pre-hospital rapid response teams in the field of health in response to CBRN accidents.
Materials and Methods: the current study is qualitative research with a content analysis approach; which was conducted using semi-structured in-depth interviews with 18 specialists and experts through purposive and snowball sampling. Sampling was done until data saturation. Thematic analysis method was used to analyze the data. The study aimed to extract effective factors in the formation of pre-hospital rapid response teams in the field of health in response to chemical, biological, radiation and nuclear accidents in Iran in 2022.
Results: The factors affecting the formation of the team were divided into 5 main classes and 5 subgroups including capacity building (Education, training), operational requirements (information and communication, command and control, emergency response operational plan, internal and external coordination), required resources (equipment, financing), team formation requirements (decontamination requirements, structural requirements) and team formation structure (general team composition, specialized team composition). The highest number of codes with 39% was related to the emergency response operational plan subcategory and the lowest number of codes with 8% was related to the equipment subcategory.
Conclusion: This study presented the design of the local pre-hospital rapid response team in the field of health in chemical, biological, radiation and nuclear accidents in Iran. This plan is for quick pre-hospital response to attend and intervene in the acute phase of these incidents. In order to increase the response capacity and capability of these teams, in addition to the general composition of the team, in order to improve the specialized preparation to deal with the health effects of these incidents, a specialized composition has also been provided. It is suggested; A separate team should be formed for each CBRN area based on the risk assessment of the offending areas of the country.

Abstract
Background and Aim: Fair protection against financial risks is considered one of the main goals of health systems, and lack of financial protection in health is regarded as a disease in health systems. Protecting citizens from the financial consequences of illness and fair access to health services is a challenge for governments and policymakers. Therefore, this study was conducted to investigate the indicators of out-of-pocket payments (OOP), catastrophic health expenditures (CHE), and Impoverishing Health Expenditures in hospitals in Tehran.
Materials and Methods: This descriptive-analytical study was conducted cross-sectionally in 2023. The research population was all the households covered by one of the country’s insurance organizations in Tehran and 298 households participated in this study. A simple random sampling method was performed in five selected general hospitals in Tehran. The World Health Organization questionnaire was used to collect data. An interview was conducted with the head of the household or an informed person of the family. The back-breaking expenses were calculated based on the household’s payment capacity and the poverty line based on the household’s food expenses. Data were analyzed using Excel and SPSS software.
Results: The results showed that 39.9% of households spent less than 10% of their total household expenditures on OOP health payments. However, 62.1% and 24.2% of participants experienced CHE and impoverishing health expenditures, respectively. Additionally, 36.9% reported borrowing money from friends or family, while 17.4% borrowed from non-relatives to cover health expenses. Furthermore, 5.4% of participants were forced to sell household assets, such as furniture, carpets, or jewelry, to finance their healthcare costs. Dental services, with an average cost of 1369000 tomans (±3,626,000), and medications with an average cost of 1,210,000 tomans (±2,104,000), imposed the highest expenses on households. Statistical analyses showed that the prevalence of CHE among participants differed significantly according to age (P=0.001), employment status (P=0.004), presence of a disabled or care-dependent individual in the household (P=0.002), and education level (P=0.021).
Conclusion: According to the results of the study, over 62% of households face CHE, particularly among older adults and retirees, indicating weak financial protection in the health system. This highlights the urgent need to reform health financing policies and expand targeted insurance coverage for high-risk groups. It is recommended to design special insurance packages for individuals aged 60 and above, covering chronic, specialized, and preventive services.
