Abstract: (2322 Views)
Background and Aim: One of the dimensions of health is social health. Social health indicates, in a way, the inviolability of the identity aspects of individuals in the community. From among the factors affecting social health, a sense of social security both in its objective and mental dimensions has a particularly significant effect, and also a fundamental impact, on the efficiency of individuals in the society. In this study the relationship between the two variables ─ social security and social health ─ was investigated empirically.
Materials and Methods: This was a quantitative survey including a sample of 400 residents in Lende City, Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad Province, Iran in 1398. Data were collected using questionnaires.
Results: The findings showed that there were statistically significant relationships between the sense of social security and social health in most of their domains (P <0.05). Modeling of structural equations between these two variables also showed that the sense of social security with a regression weight of 0.54 had an effect on social health in a way that this variable alone explained 29% of changes in social health, while gender had no effect in this regard.
Conclusion: On the basis of the findings it can be concluded that the sense of social security has significant effects on social health and efficiency of people in the society. Therefore, if a society can protect the identity components of its citizens in its different ethnic, religious, linguistic and national aspects and increase their level of social tolerance, then it will be possible to create better conditions for promoting the social health of individuals in that society.
