The study population consisted of all emergency department staff, including road and city campus in Ardabil province in 2017. To select the study sample group, 5 personnel from 40 bases in the entire province were randomly selected. A total of 200 employees were selected as the sample of the study.

Also, there was a positive and significant relationship between safety behavior and self-management with self-efficacy (P<0.001). In addition, the present study showed that the job stress and safety behavior play a mediator role between self-management and self-efficacy of emergency staff.
