Background: The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of job stress and work locus of control on job satisfaction of Tehran emergency first responders. Method: In this study correlational research method was used and 160 members of Tehran emergency first responders were selected through multi-stage cluster sampling method. To collect data three questionnaires including self-reported job stress questionnaire (Martinssuen, 2001), spector work locus of control questionnaire (1988) and spector job satisfaction questionnaire (1988) were used. Statistical analysis of data was performed with Pearson correlation and regression analysis. Results: The results of this study show there is negative significant relationship between job stress and job satisfaction. In addition, findings showed that there are significant positive and negative correlation relationships between internal and external locus of control and job satisfaction respectively. Furthermore, stepwise regression analysis showed the subscales of external locus of control, role, internal locus of control, communication and supervisors could estimate 54% of the variance in job satisfaction. Conclusion: According to this study, job satisfaction can be estimated on the basis of two effective factors of job stress and work locus of control.

Objectives Insomnia is one of the common disorders whose relationship with depression and anxiety is widely discussed. The current study aimed at investigating the epidemiology of insomnia and its relationship with depression and anxiety among male prisoners. Methods In the current study, 110 male prisoners were selected through the convenient sampling method. To collect data, Pittsburgh sleep quality index, Beck depression inventory, and Beck anxiety inventory were used. Data were analyzed using multiple regression analysis and Pearson correlation coefficient.Results Depression and anxiety had a significant relationship with insomnia (P<0.0001). The results of multiple regression analysis showed that depression and anxiety could predict the insomnia with 0.29 variance.Conclusion Given the high prevalence of insomnia among prisoners and its relationship with depression and anxiety, it seems necessary to provide psychological services to decrease insomnia and its underlying factors.
