Ali Kebriaei* and Zahra Fakhari
ABSTRACT
Since social well-being is a significant dimension of health, its assessment is vital. This study aimed to investigate the social well-being and its dimensions among Iranian health workers. A cross-sectional study was carried out in 2016. The population of the study included all 300 health workers of Khomeinishahr city health network (Isfahan Province, Iran). Data were collected by using the Keyes's questionnaire. To analyze data SPSS version 16 for Windows was applied to calculate descriptive and inferential indices. P-value<0.05 was considered statistically significant. 181 men and 91 women participated with the mean age of 36.19±8.13 years. The participants’ mean score of overall social well-being was 3.48±0.41. The least mean and the highest one were in social integration and social acceptance dimensions respectively. There are no relationship between social well-being and demographic characteristics. Social well-being in health workers deserves attention. Thus efficient well-being promotion strategies should be getting done for promoting their social well-being particularly in areas of social acceptance and social coherence.
