Abstract: (49 Views)
Introduction: Social health, as one of the dimensions of health, is influenced by various factors, including religious beliefs and cultural attitudes. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between attitudes toward hijab, religious health-promoting behaviors, and social health among female students of Khoy University of Medical Sciences in 2024.
Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive-analytical study was conducted on 230 female students at the Faculty of Medical Sciences in Khoy. Data were collected using standardized questionnaires on attitudes toward hijab, religious health-promoting behaviors, and social health. The sampling method was census-based, and data analysis was performed using SPSS version 19, employing ANOVA, independent t-tests, correlation, and multiple linear regression.
Results: The findings indicated that attitude toward hijab (β=0/131, p<0/04) and religious health-promoting behaviors (β=0/19, p<0/03) had a significant positive effect on social health. Additionally, students in public health and operating room departments had higher social health compared to others (p<0/05). More recent enrollees exhibited higher social health than earlier cohorts (p<0/05), and students with employed parents had greater social health than those with parents in other occupations (p<0/05).
Conclusion: The results highlight a positive association between attitudes toward hijab, religious health-promoting behaviors, and students' social health. These findings underscore the importance of addressing religious and cultural dimensions in promoting social health. It is recommended that educational and counseling programs in this area be strengthened.
