Background
Social participation, as an effective strategy in health promotion, can affect individuals health. Given the social role of women in the society, social participation can have a stronger association with health. Therefore, the present study aimed to explore the relationship between social participation and general health among women in Ilam.Methods
This cross-sectional study was conducted on 385 women over 18 years old selected through multi-stage sampling in Ilam in 2014. The data were collected using Womens Social Participation Factors questionnaire and 28-item Goldbergs questionnaire. Then, the data were analyzed by Pearsons correlation coefficient, t-test, one-way ANOVA, and multivariate linear regression analysis.Results
The mean age of the study women was 35.12±7.12 years. Besides, their mean scores of general health and social participation were 27.97±9.18 and 78.25±12.14, respectively. The results showed a significant correlation between the womens general health and social participation (r=-0.46, P=0.01). Moreover, general health and social participation (B=-3.70, P=0.01), age (B=-2.94, P=0.01), education level (B=-2.03, P=0.02), and occupation (B=-2.08, P=0.01) were statistically significant in multivariate regression analysis.Conclusion
