Abstract

Objectives: The immigrants' MENTAL HEALTH is one of the basic discussions in social sciences which have attracted the attention of many international institutions such as World Health Organization (WHO). Nowadays, many factors such as injustice, frustration, disrespect affecting immigrants' life is arising of social factors, which threaten their MENTAL HEALTH. On these lines, SOCIAL CAPITAL plays a central role in providing the immigrants with emotional and mental support in order to enhance their MENTAL HEALTH. The purpose of this study is to identify the relationship between SOCIAL CAPITAL and MENTAL HEALTH among immigrants in KERMANSHAH city.Method: The research method was a survey. The required data was collect through a questionnaire. The population under study includes immigrants living in KERMANSHAH whose number amounted to 45000 in 1384. For practical purposes, a sample including 600 immigrants was selected by simple random sampling using Lin sampling table. A28-item WHO questionnaire and a 90-item SCL questionnaire were used in order to measure participants' MENTAL HEALTH, three indices of social confidence, social support and social participation were used in order to measure SOCIAL CAPITAL. Face and criterion validity were used for reliability and Coronbach alpha was used for research reliability. The statistical methods of Pearson Correlation and and analysis of variance were use to test the hypothesis and regression analysis was used to measure the research method.Findings: The results of correlation show that the relationship between MENTAL HEALTH and other variables: Education (r=%14), Age (r=%26), residency duration (r=%41), Social confidence (r= %66), social support (r= /51), and social participation (r= %48) are significant. The results gained from this coefficient tells us that the relationship between the independent variables and the dependent variables is significant at least the 5% level. The results of multiple regressions also show that independent variables have explained %57 of dependent variable and the contribution of each independent variables to dependent variable are respectively as follows: Social confidence (Beta= %30), social participation (Beta= %25), kinds of migration (Beta= %21), marital status (Beta= %16), social support (Beta= %14) and residency duration (Beta= %6).Results: The findings of this article show that the relationship between two construct e.g. SOCIAL CAPITAL and immigrants' MENTAL HEALTH indicate a high level of significance. If individuals enjoy a high level of social, capital it means that they access valuable resources such as mutual trust, social mental and financial support, the existence of kinship networks, attachment, and participation in different aspects of social life, so they will have a higher level of MENTAL HEALTH. A high level of MENTAL HEALTH among the immigrants is a result of an increase in the amount of SOCIAL CAPITAL among them and SOCIAL CAPITAL cause higher levels of MENTAL HEALTH and quality of life among MIGRANTS.Results also addressed the role of SOCIAL CAPITAL and the existence of supportive networks in facilitating acculturation.
