Abstract
Background: Job satisfaction and its effective factors are important issue in productivity improvement. The main purpose of this study is to determine the job satisfaction of nurses in pre-hospital and hospital emergency rooms of Mashhad health system.
Materials and Methods: The present study was descriptive-analytic with cross-sectional design carried out on nurses working in 168 pre-hospital emergency bases and 12 emergency departments of public hospitals of Mashhad affiliated to Mashhad University of Medical Sciences in 2017. A total of 232 nurses working in pre-hospital and hospital emergency units were selected and studied. A reliable and valid questionnaire including personal and professional information was used for collecting data based on the standardized Brayfield and Ruth Job Satisfaction test. Data analysis was performed by 1-sample t test, 1-way t test, two Independent samples, and linear regression analysis in SPSS V. 18.
Results: A total of 232 nurses answered to questionnaires. The average quality level of job satisfaction based on Brayfield and Ruth test was 62.6% in pre-hospital emergency nurses and 62.4% in nurses of emergency hospital. It was also found that the variables of age, gender, educational level, service record, working hours, income level and marital status were significant determinants of job satisfaction, so that these variables were altogether explain  about 30%(F=13.5, P<0.001) of job satisfaction.
Conclusion: Based on the findings of this study, nurses' workplace is not associated with their job satisfaction. Also, job satisfaction is affected by many demographic variables, which change due to time and place and social conditions.

Abstract
Background: Emergency medical technicians (EMTs) should have good socioeconomic status and health status so that people in need can benefit from their services. The present study aims to measure the biopsychosocial health of EMTs in Tehran, Iran.
Materials and Methods: This is a descriptive cross-sectional study. The study population consists of the EMTs from six regions of Tehran, Iran. Of these, 563 EMTs were included in the study. Stueck et al.’s health cube battery (HCB) tool, which has six domains of individual resources, external resources, workload, stress consequences, biocentric performance, and socioeconomic status, was used to collect data online. The physiological reactions (blood pressure, pulse rate, and oxygen saturation) were assessed based on three levels of socioeconomic status (low, moderate, and high). The data analysis was performed in Excel and SPSS software, version 22.
Results: The mean age of participants was 31.88±43.6 years, and their mean work experience ranged from 1 to 30 years (mean=14.7±73.5 years). The mean score for biocentric performance was higher than that of other domains. The mean levels of physiological reactions were within the normal range. Overall, 50% (n=281) had moderate socioeconomic status. There was no significant difference in terms of physiological conditions among the three socioeconomic groups.
Conclusion: The EMTs with better socioeconomic status have better performance and physiological status. There is a need for more attention to the socioeconomic status of EMTs in Tehran, which has a direct impact on their performance and an indirect effect on their physiological health.
