Abstract

the one of most important source of health is SOCIAL SUPPORT and Networks, but often ignored. We therefore undertook at this study to investigate the relationship of supportive SOCIAL NETWORKs and the health status of the elderly and their Use of HEALTH SERVICES. This correlation cross-sectional study was conducted on 356 elderlies selected using multistage cluster sampling method from among 4777 over-sixty people in Bijar city. The data were analyzed in SPSS by ndependent samples t-test and Pearson correlation test. The results showed the relationship between SOCIAL SUPPORT, network and using HEALTH SERVICES. A direct significant relationship was observed between SOCIAL NETWORKs and SOCIAL SUPPORT, with a more significant relationship between strong ties and SOCIAL SUPPORT. furthermore, SOCIAL SUPPORT had a direct significant relationship with dimensions of general health in the elderly and emotional support had a stronger effect on the psychological dimension. Having several support resources was related with health, where marital relationship and spouse’s support had a stronger effect on health. SOCIAL SUPPORT had an indirect significant relationship with using HEALTH SERVICES. SOCIAL NETWORKs entail SOCIAL SUPPORT, which in turn enhances health and reduces healthcare costs. Marriage, family’s and relatives’ support are the most important dimensions of establishing a strong tie and emotional SOCIAL SUPPORT for the elderly. Interventions can utilize these units to improve elderly’s health and reduce their dependence on official healthcare services. Therefore, it is recommended that natural SOCIAL SUPPORT networks be developed in these units.
