nongovernmental organizations (NGOs( are the hidden system of promoting public health and the symbol and mediator of people's participation. The aim of the present research was to assess the status and recognize the performance of various NGOs in providing health-oriented services as opportunities in promoting community health.
The present study was a descriptive-analytical (cross-sectional) study, which was conducted on the position and function of all NGOs in Kerman from February 2014 to the end of January 2015. A researcher-made checklist was used to collect the data, which was designed based on the statutes of NGOs. The information was collected from a total of 150 NGOs. To analyze the data, in addition to descriptive statistical tests (frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation), other tests were also used (Chi-square test and Fisher's exact test). Moreover, all data analysis was done using SPSS (ver. 16).
There was a significant relationship between the levels of prevention and field of activity and the objectives and methods of implementation of these objectives ( < 0.001). There was a significant relationship between health prevention levels in the target community of the NGO and initial assets ( = 0.02), licensing organization ( < 0.001), management type in terms of the board of trustees or membership availability ( < 0.001), relevance of members' major with organizational goals ( = 0.02), and activeness or inactiveness of the organization ( = 0.007).
The results showed that there was a relationship between NGO's target population in terms of levels of prevention and the studied factors. The relationship between the services of these organizations and the levels of prevention is a very important and effective role in community health promotion.
非政府组织（NGO）是促进公共卫生的隐性系统，也是民众参与的象征和媒介。本研究旨在评估各类非政府组织在提供以健康为导向的服务方面的现状，并认识到它们作为促进社区健康的机遇所发挥的作用。
本研究为描述性分析（横断面）研究，于2014年2月至2015年1月底对克尔曼所有非政府组织的地位和职能进行了调查。使用研究者自制的清单收集数据，该清单基于非政府组织的章程设计。共从150个非政府组织收集了信息。为分析数据，除了描述性统计测试（频率、百分比、均值和标准差）外，还使用了其他测试（卡方检验和费舍尔精确检验）。此外，所有数据分析均使用SPSS（版本16）完成。
预防水平与活动领域以及这些目标的实施目标和方法之间存在显著关系（P<0.001）。非政府组织目标社区的健康预防水平与初始资产（P = 0.02）、许可组织（P<0.001）、董事会或成员可用性方面的管理类型（P<0.001）、成员专业与组织目标的相关性（P = 0.02）以及组织的活跃或不活跃程度（P = 0.007）之间存在显著关系。
结果表明，非政府组织在预防水平方面的目标人群与所研究的因素之间存在关联。这些组织的服务与预防水平之间的关系在社区健康促进中起着非常重要且有效的作用。
