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.
