Objective: This study has compared the quality of life of head-of-household
women supported by Welfare Organization those who had service jobs in
Tehran, 1386 (2007).
Method: It was a cross-sectional study. One-hundred and twenty head-ofhousehold
women that were supported by Welfare Organization and their
counterparts with service jobs were randomly selected. To collect data, a
demographic checklist and WHO’s Quality of Life questionnaire (WHOQOL-
100) were used.
Findings: Having job was found to increase quality of life of head-of-household
women.
The physical health, psychological health, and social relationships had direct
influences on quality of life of head-of-household women, while the environment
hadn’t have any relation with quality of life.
Conclusion: Quality of life among head-of-household women is better when
they had a service job, rather than being supported by Welfare Organization.
