Objective: In Iranian society, women as half of the population play an important
role in employment and social development. Hence, addressing the issue of
women’s working and its relationship with their health status is inevitable. On
the other hand, evidence suggests that in addition to medical interventions, health
depends on socioeconomic conditions like job classifications.
Method: It’s a cross-sectional study on 160 women working in welfare centers
in Tehran. Participants were recruited using a multistage cluster method. To
measure the variables, checklist of personal data with demographic variables and
General Health Questionnaire-28 (GHQ-28) were used.
Findings: Between mental health and job classification, there was a significant
correlation (p<0.005). Comparing job classifications on a one-to-one basis
showed a significant difference in mental health between manager and expert
women, so that, managers had less mental health than experts.
Conclusion: Managers and policy makers of organizations, as well as health
planners, should pay more attention to job which seems to be a social
determinant of women’s mental health.
