Abbas Darkhor, Maryam Sadeghifard

Abstract

The role of cognitive dysfunction and Behavioral Activation System on the quality of life of employees has been tried to understand. In this study, we considered all the employees of Azad University of Bandar Abbas working in the year 2016 as subject. Using simple random sampling method, 90 employees of Azad University, Bandar Abbas were selected and data were collected by using Cognitive dysfunction, behavioral activation system and quality of life questionnaires. Obtained data were analyzed by using Pearson correlation coefficient and using SPSS software and the result revealed a significant and negative relationship between the quality of life with cognitive dysfunctions, including distraction, memory problems, unintentional mistakes and inability to memorize the names. Nevertheless, a significant and positive relationship between these cases and Behavioral Activation System has also been evidenced. Our results concluded that cognitive dysfunction and Behavioral Activation System are factors that affecting the quality of life.
