Abstract: (1292 Views)
Background and Aim: The social health of people is a phenomennon that can play an essential role in the development of the society. A question is: to what extent has the Imam Khomeini Relief Committee (IKRC), an organization established at the beginning of the Iranian Islamic revolution to deliver services and help and empower the poor people to get them out of poverty, been successful in affecting the social health of the household female heads? This study aimed to answer this question.
Materials and Methods: This research was conducted with a quantitative and survey approach, including 221 female heads of households under coverage of IKRC in Shiraz, Iran selected by the multi-stage cluster sampling method. The data collection tool was a questionnaire.
Results: The findings showed that the social health of the household female heads under coverage of IKRC and all its components were higher than the average level.
Conclusion: Based on the findings it can be concluded that the educational, health and financial
services provided by the Imam Khomeini Relief Committee could not have influenced significantly the social health of the service-seekers, although they could have affected some aspects of their lives. It is, thus, essential that the Committee revise the contents and the form of services delivered to female heads of households to promote their social health.
