The main goal of the present study is to assess the association between lifestyle factors and RTAs in Hamadan which is located in west of Iran. Methods: A case-control study was conducted to measure the lifestyle factors affecting RTAs. Two-stage sampling was performed during October and December 2013. The selfreported questionnaire which adjusted by Iranian culture were prepared for the total of 309 adults (103 cases and 206 controls) aged 18-65 years. The reliability of the questionnaire was confirmed by obtaining the Cronbach's correlation coefficients of 0.89. The data were analyzed by Chi-square and adjusted Logistic regression tests based on age and gender by using SPSS /16 (significant level of 0.05). Result: The Risk of accidents due to daily activity, driving style and perception of traffic laws was 165.1, 656.0 and 308.1 more than the control group. However the difference was not significant. The chances of accident in case group related to stress was about three folds higher than the control group (P<0.001 and OR = 2.958 and 95% CI =265.5, 661.1). Conclusion: Risky lifestyle is a precipitating factor related to RTAs and RTAs can be prevented with controlling this factor in human life.

Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the association between life stress and road accidents. Materials and Methods: A case-control study was conducted in Hamadan in 2013. The sampling method was carried out in two stages: the first stage involved simple randomization, and the second stage was convenient sampling. The sample size consisted of 103 people who referred to the car accident insurance centers (case group: regarding road accidents), and 206 people who referred to the police stations (control group: no accident). The measurement tool was a two-part self-reporting questionnaire that included information regarding demographic and lifestyle stress. The data was analyzed by the Chi-square test and Logistic regression based on age and sex. The significance level of all the tests was considered as ...

This study aimed at determining the relationship between sleep quality and road traffic crashes in urban drivers. Methods: This correlational study was conducted in Hamadan, a city located in the western part of Iran. The study samples consisted of 309 Hamadan drivers (i.e., 103 with road traffic crashes (RTCs) and 206 without RTCs), who were referred to police centers to change or renew their driving licenses. The data collection tool was a two-part questionnaire including demographic information and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). The questionnaire was filled out in a self-administered manner. Statistical analysis was done using the SPSS-16 software and applying logistic regression, Fisher's exact test, and Chi-square test. Results: The comparison of sleep quality scores between two groups, using the adjusted logistic regression test, showed a statistically significant difference between them (P = 0.019). This means that the sleep quality of drivers without RTCs was 1.8 times better than drivers with RTCS (OR=1.8; 95% CI, 1.1-3.07). Conclusions: There was a significant association between poor sleep quality and the occurrence of RTCs in urban drivers. As a result, it is recommended paying more attention to the sleep quality of urban drivers to prevent and control RTCs.
