Social capital and social support as determinants of health play an important role in the health of female heads of households. Considering the increasing number of female-headed families in Iran and the world, this study was conducted to systematically review the impact of social capital and social support on the health of female heads of households.
This study was conducted as a systematic review in September 2016. Its data were collected from available papers in different databases including Iranmedex, Magiran, Scientific Information Database (SID), Irandoc, Scopus, Science Direct, PubMed and Google Scholar. Using advanced search, all published papers from 2000 to 2015 with full text were selected using related keywords. After reviewing by browsers and adapting to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 15 papers were entered into the study. The Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in epidemiology (STROBE) checklist was used to evaluate the quality of papers.
Based on the findings of these studies, there was a significant relationship between social capital and its components (trust, sense of belonging and social participation) as well as all aspects of health. Additionally, social support and its dimensions (emotional, instrumental and informational) affected health; however, among these dimensions, instrumental support of a stronger predictor was concerned with health, especially mental
Social factors such as social capital and social support are effective on human health, particularly health of female-headed households, since they affect proactive identity and increase information resources, collaboration as well as collective decisions and actions. Furthermore, they provide emotional and instrumental support to group members and prevent further health problems.
社会资本和社会支持作为健康的决定因素，在女性户主的健康中发挥着重要作用。鉴于伊朗和世界范围内女性当家家庭数量的增加，本研究旨在系统回顾社会资本和社会支持对女性户主健康的影响。
本研究于2016年9月进行，为一项系统评价。其数据收集自不同数据库中可得的论文，包括伊朗医学索引数据库（Iranmedex）、马吉兰数据库（Magiran）、科学信息数据库（SID）、伊朗文献数据库（Irandoc）、Scopus数据库、科学Direct数据库、PubMed数据库和谷歌学术。通过高级检索，使用相关关键词筛选出2000年至2015年发表的所有全文论文。经筛选并符合纳入和排除标准后，15篇论文进入本研究。采用流行病学观察性研究报告强化（STROBE）清单评估论文质量。
基于这些研究的结果，社会资本及其组成部分（信任、归属感和社会参与）与健康的各个方面之间存在显著关系。此外，社会支持及其维度（情感、工具性和信息性）影响健康；然而，在这些维度中，工具性支持作为更强的预测因素与健康相关，尤其是心理健康。
社会资本和社会支持等社会因素对人类健康，特别是女性户主家庭的健康具有影响，因为它们影响积极的身份认同，增加信息资源、协作以及集体决策和行动。此外，它们为群体成员提供情感和工具性支持，并预防进一步的健康问题。
