    Abstract Background: Emotional intelligence means the ''ability'' of a person to express, recognize, and manage ''emotions'' in themselves and others. Self-confidence means seeing oneself as capable, competent, lovable, and unique. Emotional intelligence can be effective in advancing goals for a person. Academic performance is one of the important indicators in student evaluation, which can also measure the extent to which a person has achieved the goal of acquiring knowledge. The aim of this study was to investigate the emotional intelligence of paramedical students of Hamedan University of Medical Sciences and its relationship with their academic performance. Methods: The present study is a cross-sectional study of correlation. And it was done on 300 students of the School of Medical Sciences, who have passed at least two semesters of their studies and were selected by random sampling. In this study, students' demographic information was collected and Shering's standard questionnaire was used for emotional intelligence, Rosenberg's self-esteem questionnaire was used. Results: There was a positive and significant relationship between students' academic performance and self-esteem (p ≥ 0.01). The results of the study also showed that there was no significant relationship between students' academic performance and emotional intelligence (p = 0.01). Conclusion: The results of our research showed that among the predicted variables, only self-esteem was able to predict academic performance in students. Self-esteem is the best predictor of academic performance. Resumen: Antecedentes: La inteligencia emocional significa la ''capacidad'' de una persona para expresar, reconocer y manejar las ''emociones'' en sí misma y en los demás. La confianza en uno mismo significa verse a uno mismo como capaz, competente, adorable y único. El rendimiento académico es uno de los indicadores importantes en la evaluación de los estudiantes. El objetivo de este estudio fue investigar la relación entre la inteligencia emocional y la confianza en ...

    Abstract Background: Using medical gowns with high protection against COVID-19 among healthcare workers (HCWs) may limit heat exchange, resulting in physiological challenges.
    Objective: This study aimed to compare the physiological and neurophysiological responses of female HCWs when using two typical medical gowns at different temperatures during the COVID-19 pandemic.
    Methods: Twenty healthy female HCWs participated in this study. Participants wore two types of medical gowns: Spunbond gown (SG) and laminate gown (LG). They walked on a treadmill in a controlled climate chamber for 30 minutes at three different temperatures (24, 28, and 32°C). Heart rate (HR), skin surface temperature (ST), clothing surface temperature (CT), ear temperature (ET), blood oxygen percentage (SaO2), galvanic skin response (GSR), and blood pressure were measured before and after walking on a treadmill. The study's results were analyzed using SPSS26.
    Results: The study found that LG led to an average increase of 0.575°C in CT compared to SG at the same temperatures (P <  0.03). The average HR increased by 6.5 bpm in LG at 28°C compared to SG at a comfortable temperature (P = 0.01). The average ET in SG and GSR in LG at 32°C increased by 0.39°C and 0.25μS, respectively, compared to the comfortable temperature (P <  0.02).
    Conclusion: The study recommends maintaining a comfortable temperature range in hospitals to prevent physiological challenges among HCWs wearing medical gowns with high protection against COVID-19. This is important because using LG, compared to SG, at high temperatures can increase HR, ET, CT, and GSR.

    Abstract Medication errors can endanger the health and safety of patients and need to be managed appropriately. This study aimed at developing a new and comprehensive method for estimating the probability of medication errors in hospitals. An extensive literature review was conducted to identify factors affecting medication errors. Success Likelihood Index Methodology was employed for calculating the probability of medication errors. For weighting and rating of factors, the Fuzzy multiple attributive group decision making methodology and Fuzzy analytical hierarchical process were used, respectively. A case study in an emergency department was conducted using the framework. A total number of 17 factors affecting medication error were identified. Workload, patient safety climate, and fatigue were the most important ones. The case study showed that subtasks requiring nurses to read the handwritten of other nurses and physicians are more prone to human error. As there is no specific method for assessing the risk of medication errors, the framework developed in this study can be very useful in this regard. The developed technique was very easy to administer.

    Abstract The present study aimed to investigate fatigue among firefighters and its relationship with their safety behavior. The moderation and mediation effects of perceived safety climate on this relationship were also investigated. Firefighters from 10 petrochemical companies in Iran were investigated. Moderation analysis was performed based on hierarchical regression analyses and mediation effects were studied using structural equation modeling. A total number of 261 firefighters participated in this study. The mean scores of general fatigue, physical fatigue, reduced activity, reduced motivation and mental fatigue were 10.5, 9.0, 8.2, 7.6 and 8.7, respectively. Fatigue had a negative significant effect on firefighters' safety behavior. Perceived safety climate had a mediation but not moderation effect on the relationship between fatigue and safety behavior of firefighters. Generally, the fatigue level among firefighters was fairly low, but had a significant negative effect on firefighter's safety behavior. Perceived safety climate can mediate such a negative effect.

    Abstract Background: The city bus drivers have critical roles in public transport and are occupationally exposed to different environmental stressors. This study aimed to investigate body physiological responses of city bus drivers subjected to noise and vibration exposure while crossing city routes.
    Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 103 city bus drivers working in the governmental transportation system in Hamadan city. The subjects' exposures to noise and body vibration were measured during driving activities. Their blood pressure (BP), as well as heart rate (HR), were measured before and after driving. Multivariate regressions (MLR) were employed to analyze the effect size of the stimulus on body physiological responses using SPSS 22.
    Results: Exposure levels to noise, whole-body vibration (WBV), and hand-arm vibration among drivers were 79.50 ± 3.51dB, 0.620 ± 0.159 m/s
    Conclusion: The study empirically confirmed the possibility of body physiological changes influenced by physical stimulus during real driving activities. It is highly recommended that occupational health surveillance should continuously be implemented to maintain and promote the safety and health of drivers throughout their careers.

    Abstract Background and aim: Human-robot collaboration is the key component of the fourth industrial revolution concept. Workers' willingness to collaborate with industrial robots is a basic requirement for an efficient and effective interaction. The roles of human-robot trust and technology affinity as mediators in the relationship between robot usability and worker willingness were analyzed in this study. As other critical variables, the mediator roles of Age and STARA were also calculated.
    Materials and methods: This study included 400 workers from a car company who interacted with industrial robots in their daily work activities. After examining the questionnaires' validity and reliability, the main variables were determined to be willingness to use robots and robot usability. AMOS software also considered human-robot trust and worker technology affinity as mediators. The bootstrapping method was used to evaluate indirect relationships. A set of goodness-of-fit indices were presented to determine the adequacy of the goodness of fit between the proposed model and the data.
    Results: Based on model fit indices, an overall satisfactory model fit was obtained for the direct/indirect relationship between robot usability and worker willingness to use it (with mediating role of human-robot trust). Workers' age and fear of Smart Technology, Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, and Algorithms (STARA) were identified as moderators in the relationship between usability and willingness.
    Conclusion: Attention to the robot usability and the role of workers' trust in robots appears to be required to ensure workers' willingness to use robots and the success of human-robot collaboration in future workplaces. As the workers age and their fear of robots grows, usability can play a larger role in increasing their willingness to put robots to work.

    Abstract Background: In office environments, thermal comfort is one of the most significant factor affecting employees' performance.
    Objective: This study aimed to determine the effects of exposure to low air temperatures on human cognitive performance, physiological responses, and thermal perceptions during mental work.
    Methods: Twenty-four volunteers with an age range of 18-30 years participated in this study. The subjects were exposed to four different air temperatures (10, 14, 18, and 22°C) in a climate chamber based on a within-subject design. The n-back, CPT, and PVT tests were employed to evaluate some basic aspects of cognitive performance. Body physiological responses and the subjective thermal comfort were also measured.
    Results: When the thermal condition deviated from relatively neutral temperature, the subjects' cognitive responses significantly disturbed (P < 0.05), such that the response accuracy was more affected by reduction of air temperature. The blood pressures and heart rate, galvanic skin response, and respiration rate increased as the air temperature decreased (P < 0.05), such that the galvanic skin response as a stress indicator was more affected. In the test configurations, as a result of decrease in air temperature of 1°C, the finger and body skin temperatures reduced to 0.74°C and 0.25°C, respectively.
    Conclusions: The findings confirmed that low thermal condition can considerably affect cognitive performance and physiological responses during some office work tasks. The subjects' thermal comfort votes proposed that air temperature lower than 14 °C can be intolerable for employees during routine mental work. It is suggested that personalized conditioning systems should be used to provide individual thermal comfort in moderate cold air conditions.

    Abstract Background: Employees who describe themselves as happy in their work are more likely to be motivated to fulfil their professional duties. Therefore, it is important that healthcare organisations and managers understand how to promote a sense of happiness among nurses.
    Aim: To investigate the relationship between the concepts of psychological capital, interactional justice, supervisor support and workplace happiness, and how they are mediated by employees' trust in their supervisors.
    Method: Self-report questionnaires were used to obtain data from nurses on the variables of trust in supervisor, psychological capital, interactional justice, supervisor support and happiness at work. The questionnaires were distributed to 250 nurses working in hospitals in the city of Hamedan, Iran, and a total of 200 respondents completed and returned them. The data were then applied to a proposed model for promoting employees' workplace happiness, which was evaluated using data analysis software.
    Results: The results showed that the model correctly identified a pathway for promoting workplace happiness in nurses. Moreover, it was found that psychological capital, interactional justice and supervisor support led to improved workplace satisfaction through the mediating role of nurses' trust in their supervisors.
    Conclusion: The findings of this study indicate that paying attention to employees' psychological capital, interactional justice and supervisor support, as well maintaining employees' trust in their supervisors, could assist healthcare organisations and managers to achieve organisational targets such as increased job satisfaction.
