Introduction: nurses are responsible for taking care of the health of the general public. Nurses´ own health is among the important factors affecting the quality of patient care. Self-Rated Health (SRH) is one of the indicators used extensively in health research for the assessment of the health status of individuals. The present study was conducted to evaluate self-rated health and its relationship with general procrastination in nurses.
Methods: the present cross-sectional study was conducted in 2019 on 305 Iranian nurses selected by stratified random sampling. The relationship of self-rated health with procrastination was determined using an ordinal logistic regression analysis after adjustments for personal and occupational factors.
Results: self-rated health was poor/bad in 11.3% of the nurses, fair in 23.7%, good in 34.3% and excellent in 30.7%. After adjustments for personal and occupational factors, a significant relationship was observed between procrastination and self-rated health (OR=0.95; 95%CI 0.92, 0.98).
Conclusion: the results showed an unfavorable health status in nurses. Given the significant relationship between procrastination and poor self-rated health in nurses, it is essential to consider this relationship for improving nurses´ health.

Background And Objectives: Social engagement is positively associated with cognitive health, yet the role of these activities across the life span and in different contexts remains under-explored. This study investigates the association between social activities and two domains of cognitive functioning among middle-aged and older Chinese individuals, a population with the highest number of dementia cases in the world. We pay particular attention to the unique role of activities in midlife on cognitive decline in the later years.
