Introduction: Due to the high level of stress during pregnancy and the epidemiology of Covid 19 disease, which endangers the general health of pregnant women, this study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of self-care education on Covid 19 on the general health of pregnant mothers.
Materials and Methods: This clinical trial study was performed on 84 pregnant women referred to Mobini Hospital in Sabzevar in the period of June to September 2020. Using random allocation of variable blocks (quadruple blocks), individuals were divided into intervention and control groups. For data collection, two questionnaires of demographic characteristics and standard questionnaire of General health were used. Data analysis was performed using SPSS statistical software (version 16).
Results: The results showed that the mean age of participants in the control group was 27.36 ± 5.88 and in the intervention, group was 27.20 ± 5.71. The mean total score of general health before the intervention was 21.68± 8.12 in the control group and 20.32 ± 7.71 in the intervention group. The results of Mann-Whitney test showed that the general health score at the beginning of the study was not statistically significant (p = 0.50). The mean total health score after the intervention in the control group was 20.31 ± 12.26 and in the intervention, group was 12.65 ± 7.15. Mann-Whitney test showed that this difference was statistically significant (p 0. 0.001).

Background and purpose:Attention to midwives and their physical and mental health is essential for increasing the quality of services and maintaining the work force. Occupational burnout is one of the factors affecting mental health and performance of individuals. The purpose of this study was to survey the occupational burnout in midwives and its relation with spiritual intelligence.Materials and method: This cross-sectional study was performed on all midwives working in hospitals and health centers in Sabzevar in 2017 by census method. Data collection tools included demographic questionnaire,Maslach burnout Inventory and King’s Spiritual Intelligence Questionnaire. Data were analyzed using Descriptive Statistics, Pearson, Spearman correlation, Man-Whitney and Kruskal Wallis by SPSS(ver.17).Results: The score of occupational burnout in midwives was 41,81±17,47 and spiritual intelligence was67.88±10.73. There was not a significant correlation between the occupational burnout and spiritual intelligence in midwives. There was a significant and direct correlation between the occupational burnout with age (p=0.02, r= 0.16) and work experience (p= 0.001, r=0.26). Also there was a significant and reverse correlation between the occupational burnout and income satisfaction (p=0.01,r=-0.19) and job satisfaction (r= -0.46, p0.001). Occupational burnout was higher in official midwives (p=0.01).Conclusion: The burnout of midwives was moderate and there was no significant relationship between burnout and spiritual intelligence. Considering the importance of midwifery in the field of health and improving the quality of clinical services, It seems necessary to adopt strategy for reduce occupational burnout such as; reducing work-related pressures and improving working conditions.
