Abstract
Background and Aim: A society will be dynamic and vitality when its citizens have good social health. According to the importance and influence of this type of health among people in the society, in this research, the explanation of social health through the sense of perceived equality and the mediating role of mistrust among the citizens of Tehran in 1401 has been considered.
Methods: The present study is applied in terms of purpose and correlational-survey in terms of data collection method. The data collected by standard and researcher-made questionnaires among 384 citizens of the 2nd, 10th and 16th districts of Tehran by combining four types of sampling methods; That is, simple random sampling method (based on the lottery method), cluster, multi-stage and stratified sampling, that data were collected according to the sample size. It should be noted that the validity of the questionnaires was checked by supervisor and advisor and the reliability of the questionnaires was checked with Cronbach's alpha test and the obtained coefficients (above 0.7) indicated the reliability of the tools.
Ethical Considerations: The respondents who participated in this research answered the questionnaires with the knowledge of conducting of the research and its goals.
Results: According to the beta coefficients in the univariate regression test, it was found that a change of one standard deviation in perceived equality caused 0.554 standard deviation in the social health and -0.231 standard deviation in the mistrust and finally a change of one standard deviation in mistrust causes -0.405 standard deviation in the social health score. Also, in the path analysis, it was found that the total effect (direct and indirect effect) of perceived equality variable on social health is 0.647.
Conclusion: According to that social health has wide effects in the society and its absence causes huge problems and challenges, therefore, the implementation of perceived equality and on the other hand restoring trust among the people of the society should be prioritized.
