Abstract
Introduction: Work and family life are two fundamental components of people's lives, each of which affects the other. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between occupational stress and marital satisfaction in Emergency Medical Technicians.
Method: In this study, 200 Emergency Medical Technicians were selected by a stratified cluster method (2023). Data were collected using the Persian version of the Occupational Stress and ENRICH marital satisfaction questionnaires.
Results: The average scores for Occupational stress and marital satisfaction were 112.48±13.38 and 145.94±22.21, respectively. Occupational stress exhibited a significant negative correlation with marital satisfaction (r = -0.592, p = 0.028). Education level, employment status, work experience, having a second job, and occupational stress explained 78% of the variance in marital satisfaction among Emergency Medical Technicians (R = 0.784, R² = 0.614, p = 0.001).
Discussion: Reducing occupational stress can improve marital satisfaction among Emergency Medical Technicians.
Implications for Practice: Selecting students interested in the pre-hospital profession can help foster a positive work environment among employees. Additionally, pre-hospital managers should pay attention to the factors affecting Occupational stress and marital satisfaction to improve the quality of services provided by Emergency Medical Technicians.
