Abstract
Introduction: One of the common undesirable postural abnormalities that poor mobility has brought to humans due to the significant growth of technology and widespread use of tools and communication devices is the excessive increase of the back arch (hyperkyphosis) and forward head deformity. Therefore, the aim of this research is to review the effects of rehabilitation exercises on people with kyphosis and forward head posture.
Methods: The current study was a systematic review, searching for articles in Persian and Latin from the beginning of December 2005 to the beginning of April 2023, using the Wos, SID, Magiran, Scopus, ISC, PubMed and Google Scholar databases.
Results: A number of seven articles in the field of rehabilitation exercises reported that corrective exercises improve forward head and kyphosis, as well as posture. One article indicated that the use of braces reduced trapezius muscle electrical activity in patients with kyphosis, which may delay fatigue onset.
Conclusions: : The current review study showed that exercise protocols improve kyphosis and forward head complications, as well as improve pain and maintain proper posture in affected individuals.

Abstract
Introduction: Maintaining general health and preventing occupational burnout are two fundamental components of individuals' lives, and each can influence the other. Therefore, the present study aims to investigate the relationship between occupational burnout and general health among emergency medical technicians (EMTs).
Methods: This descriptive-analytical study was conducted on 150 EMTs from Qom University of Medical Sciences in 2020, who were selected by a simple random sampling method. Data were collected using the Maslach Burnout Inventory and the Goldberg General Health Questionnaire. Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistics and Pearson correlation coefficient.
Results: Based on the findings of the present study, the average age of participants was 35.14 ± 8.09 years. The average scores for occupational burnout and general health were 57.98 ± 19.28 and 48.26 ± 10.97, respectively. Pearson correlation analysis revealed a significant relationship between occupational burnout and general health (r = 0.613, P < 0.001)
Conclusions: Based on the findings of the present study, occupational burnout and general health among the EMTs were at a moderate level. Higher burnout scores were associated with worsened general health disorders among EMTs. It seems that selecting students interested in prehospital emergency professions can enhance the situation of this feeling in individuals working in this field. Additionally, it is essential for prehospital managers to pay attention to the occupational burnout and general health in order to improve the quality of services provided by the EMTs.
