The statistical population consisted of 165 employees in the Rehabilitation and Red Crescent Department, including 80 employees in administrative departments and 85 employees in the rehabilitation department.

The instruments of this study were Beck Depression Inventory, Stear and Brown (1996), Beck Anxiety Inventory, Epstein, Brown, and Stein (1998) and World Health Organization Quality of Life Questionnaire (1996). After the deletion of the three questionnaires, 160 data were analyzed. The findings showed that the average of anxiety scores (F = 96.48) and depression (F = 15.77) was more than the administration in the rehabilitation group. Still, the quality of life (F = 8.76) in both groups was not significant (0.01 > P). Since anxiety and depression had a significant impact on the quality of life and given a higher level of depression and anxiety in the rehab group, this group can carry out clinical and educational interventions to maintain and improve this group's mental health.
