Background: Female household heads are faced with many more problems than men due to their multiple concurrent roles. The present study was conducted to determine the relationship of supportive roles with mental health and satisfaction with life in female household heads using a structural equations model.

Methods: The present descriptive-analytical study was conducted on 286 eligible female household heads in Karaj, Iran, in 2020, who were selected by convenience sampling. Data were collected using VAX social support, the perceived social support scale, the general health questionnaire (GHQ), and the satisfaction with life questionnaire plus a socio-demographic checklist, and were analyzed in SPSS-16 and Lisrel-8.8.

Results: The participants’ mean age was 43.1±1.7 years. According to the path analysis results, satisfaction with life had the highest direct positive relationship with perceived social support (B=0.33) and the highest indirect positive relationship with age (B=0.13) and the highest direct and indirect positive relationship with education and social support (B=0.13). Also, mental health had a direct negative relationship with satisfaction with life (B=-0.29), an indirect negative relationship with social support, and both a direct and indirect negative relationship with perceived support (B=-0.26).

Conclusion: Based on the results, supportive roles had a negative relationship with mental health and a positive relationship with satisfaction with life in female household heads. Accordingly, given the status and role of women in the health of family members and the community and the greater vulnerability of this group, further attention and support should be directed toward these women by the government and relevant organizations.

Structural Equations

The present-day social developments have led to changes in the social structure of the family, and one of the most important of these changes is the emergence of single-parent or single-head families [1]. The head of the family signifies the person who has significant authority over the other family members and is responsible for the family’s finances [2]. Female heads of households are women who manage their family affairs due to circumstances such as divorce, immigration, death and desertion or imprisonment of the husband [3].

The number of single-parent families is constantly increasing in the western world, and 60% of women worldwide are currently their family’s breadwinners and 37.5% of households around the world are run by women [4]. This percentage is also increasing in Iran too, such that the percentage of female-headed households increased from 9.5% in 2006 to 12.1% in 2011 and 12.7% in 2016. There are currently over three million female-headed households in Iran [3].

This group of women are faced with problems such as lack of access to job opportunities, lower levels of education among the women and their children, increased delinquency of children, and various dimensions of poverty [5]. Being a woman, these household heads are also faced with more socioeconomic problems and have less assets than men [6].

These women are among the most vulnerable social groups and are more exposed to psychosocial stresses due to their multiple and simultaneous roles in managing the household, bringing up and caring for the children, and working outside the home [5, 7, 8]. All these factors result in lower satisfaction with life and mental health in this group compared to their peers. Satisfaction with life suggests mental well-being, which is associated with the health status and death. Many factors affect the sense of well-being and satisfaction with life; e.g., demographic factors, socioeconomic status, physical-mental health, social support, and psychosocial adaptation [9–11].

Mediated by stressors and physical and mental problems alongside boosting people’s knowledge, supportive roles reduce stress, increase survival, and improve quality of life. In other words, this factor provides the most powerful coping force for patients to successfully and easily deal with problems and helps facilitate the endurance of these problems [12]. In one study, Hou et al. (2020) found that social support is directly and indirectly linked to people’s mental health through flexibility (Fig. 1) [13]. This variable reduces environmental vulnerabilities most likely by affecting the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal (HPA) system, the noradrenergic system, and the central oxytocin pathways [12] and subsequently contributes to mental health and satisfaction with life. Although many studies have found a relationship between social support and mental health, the researchers did not find any studies conducted on supportive roles [social and perceived], mental health and satisfaction with life in the population of female household heads. Given that the health of this vulnerable group is key, the present study was conducted to determine the causal relationship of supportive roles with mental health and satisfaction in life in female household heads.

Study design:

The present descriptive-analytical study was conducted in 2020 in select centers of Karaj, the capital of Alborz Province and the fourth most-populated city in Iran and the 22^nd most-populated metropolis in the Middle East. On the advice of the Health Deputy of Alborz University of Medical Sciences and based on the information provided by the Integrated Health System of Iran, called the SIB, centers with the largest numbers of referrals of female household heads were selected for this study.

Study Population:

Based on the results reported by Chang e al. [14] in their article and considering a correlation of 0.19 between social relations and life satisfaction, first and second types of error of 0.05 and 0.1, respectively, and using the equation below, sample size was determined as 286. Convenience sampling was carried out until the required sample size was achieved.

Inclusion Criteria

Women responsible for managing their family for any reason, such as the husband’s death, divorce, imprisonment, or disability, Iranian nationality, minimum reading and writing literacy, and no physical or mental illness (registered in the system by self-reporting).

Exclusion criteria

Immigrating during the study and being out of reach for completing the questionnaires, returning incomplete questionnaires, self-reported use of any kinds of psychotropic substances during the study to make them unable to answer the questionnaires.

Data collection and definition of terms

Data were collected using the following questionnaires: Vaux’s Social Support Scale, the Perceived Social Support Scale, the 28-item General Health Questionnaire (GHQ), the Satisfaction with Life Scale, and a socio-demographic checklist.

Supportive roles were assessed using Vaux’s 23-item Social Support Scale (SS-A) and Zimet’s 12-item Perceived Social Support Scale (PSSS).

By definition, mental health is not limited to the absence of mental disorders and also includes a state of well-being based on which the person can actualize his abilities and talents and adapt to daily life pressures [15]; in this study, mental health was assessed using the GHQ.

Vaux’s Social Support Scale

This questionnaire is theoretically based on Cobb’s (1976) definition of social support [16]. This scale contains 23 items in three domains, including family, friends, and acquaintances. The questionnaire items are scored based on a 4-point scale, from totally agree, to agree, disagree, and totally disagree. Four types of scores are given in this scale, including a score for social support from the family, friends and acquaintances as well as a total social support score, which is the sum of the previous three scores. The validity and reliability of this scale have been determined in previous studies. In the present study, the scale’s reliability was confirmed with a Cronbach’s alpha of 0.83.

The Perceived Social Support Scale

The multidimensional Perceived Social Support Scale was developed by Zimet et al. and measures three subscales, including support from the family, friends and significant others, by 12 items scored based on a 7-point Likert scale from totally disagree to totally agree. This scale’s total score is calculated as the sum of the scores of all the items. The validity and reliability of this scale were determined in Iran in 2013 by Bagherian et al., and its reliability was confirmed with a Cronbach’s alpha of 0.84 [17]. In the present study, the scale’s reliability was confirmed with a Cronbach’s alpha of 0.82.

The General Health Questionnaire (GHQ)

This 28-item questionnaire was developed by Goldberg & Hiller (1979) with four subscales, including somatic symptoms (items 1-7), anxiety and insomnia (items 8-14), social dysfunction (items 15-21), and severe depression(items 22-28), each with seven items. Scoring is based on a 0 to 3-point scale, with a cut-off point of 23, which means that the higher is the respondent’s score above 23, the worse is his mental health, and the lower is his score, the more ideal his mental health. The validity and reliability of this questionnaire were confirmed in Iran in 2014 by Najarkolaei et al. with a Cronbach’s alpha coefficient of 0.85 [18].

The Life Satisfaction Questionnaire (Satisfaction with Life Scale, SWLS)

This scale was developed by Diener et al. (1985) in five domains, each with seven options based on a 1-7-point Likert scale, from totally disagree to totally agree. The sum of the scores is determined in the 5-35 range, and higher scores indicate higher satisfaction. The validity and reliability of this scale were assessed in the Iranian population by Bayani et al. in 2007, and its reliability was confirmed with a Cronbach’s alpha coefficient of 0.83 [20]. In the present study, the reliability of this scale was confirmed with a Cronbach’s alpha of 0.85.

Socio-demographic checklist

This checklist contains items about age, education, occupation, marital status, type of marriage, spouse’s status, place of residence, number of children, number of dependents, insurance status, income, and history of illness.

Procedures

The study began after obtaining the required permissions and a code of ethics from the Ethics Committee of Alborz University of Medical Sciences (IR. ABZUMSREC1397). Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the need for social distancing, the researcher first visited the selected centers and identified the eligible subjects through the SIB system and then contacted them on their registered phone numbers and explained the study objectives to them and then sent them a consent form to fill out by email or through the centers, if they were willing to take part in the study. Once the consent forms were collected, the questionnaires were emailed to those with internet access (Pars Online), and those without internet access were interviewed on the phone and the researcher filled out their questionnaires for them.

The subjects were ensured about the confidentiality of their data and that it was not obligatory to take part in the study or continue their cooperation, and that they would not be deprived of any health services if they chose not to take part. all methods were carried out in accordance with relevant guidelines and regulations

Statistical analysis

This study examined the fit of a conceptual model for the concurrent relationship of supportive roles (perceived support and social support) with mental health and satisfaction with life (Fig. 2). First, the normal distribution of the quantitative variables was assessed using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. Path analysis is an extension of conventional regression that shows not only the direct effects but also the indirect effects of each variable on the dependent variables, and the results can be used to provide a rational interpretation of the relationships and correlations observed. Data were analyzed in SPSS-16 and Lisrel-8.8. The results were expressed using Pearson’s correlation coefficient for the correlations and in the form of Beta for the path analysis, and the significance level was set at T>1.96.

The present study was conducted on 286 eligible female heads of households visiting select centers in Karaj. Participants’ mean age was 43.1 ± 1.7 years and they had 7.05 ± 5.6 years of education on average. The mean score of social support was 62.4 ± 4.9, perceived support was 34.2 ± 10.2, mental health 37.8 ± 10.7, and satisfaction with life 12.1 ± 5.8 (Table 1).

The results of Pearson’s correlation test showed that education, number of children, social support and perceived support had negative and significant correlations with mental health and positive and significant correlations with satisfaction with life. Among these variables, perceived support and social support had the highest positive and significant correlation with satisfaction with life (r = 0.5 and r = 0.4, respectively), and perceived support and satisfaction with life had the highest negative correlation with mental health (r=-0.3 and r=-0.39, respectively) (Table 2).

According to the path analysis results, among the variables correlated with satisfaction with life, perceived support had the highest positive correlation on the direct path (B = 0.33), age had the highest positive correlation on the indirect path, mediated by perceived support and social support (B = 0.13), and education and social support had a positive correlation with satisfaction with life on both direct and indirect paths (B = 0.38). In other words, higher levels of perceived support, social support, and education were associated with a higher satisfaction with life.

Among the variables correlated with mental health, satisfaction with life had the highest negative correlation with mental health on the direct path (B=-0.29), social support had the highest negative correlation on the indirect path, mediated through satisfaction with life and perceived support (B=-0.11), and perceived support had the highest negative correlation with mental health on both direct and indirect paths (B=-0.26) (Fig. 3) (Table 3). In other words, lower perceive support, social support, and satisfaction with life were associated with more mental problems

Female heads of households experience more stress and psychological problems than men when playing multiple roles at the same time, which can deprive them of satisfaction with life and a favorable mental health [21]. Social support is one of the factors protecting mental health against stresses that has a significant effect on health, satisfaction with life, and social functioning [22].

Based on the results of the path analysis conducted in this study, among the variables correlated with satisfaction with life, supportive roles (perceived support and social support) had the highest positive correlation with satisfaction with life. According to the findings, perceived support directly, and social support both directly and indirectly had the highest significant positive correlations with satisfaction with life. In one study, Lu et al. (2018) found that social support influences a range of life experiences and can be linked to satisfaction with life both directly and as a mediator [23]. In another study, Alorani et al. (2018) found that perceived support had a positive and significant correlation with satisfaction with life. They found that by reducing stress and improving social rapport, perceived support also plays a role in increasing satisfaction with life [24]. The structural equations’ path analysis showed that social support can affect the quality of life and the stress-reducing model [25]. There is no doubt that social support per se has a role in encouraging people to choose healthier lifestyles, and in this way, it can affect their quality of life as well. Then, at times of stress, social support helps the individual not feel alone and makes them sense that he can overcome any problems and reduce his mental pressures. People with sufficient social support in times of stress report better physical and mental health compared to those without adequate support. This better health leads to their greater satisfaction with life and improves their quality of life too [26, 27].

Based on the path analysis results, among the variables that had a correlation with mental health, satisfaction with life and supportive roles had the highest negative correlations observed. Satisfaction with life was directly, social support indirectly, mediated through satisfaction with life and perceived support, and perceived support both directly and indirectly correlated negatively with mental health. According to previous studies, satisfaction with life is a predictor of mental health. In other words, higher satisfaction with life is associated with more favorable general and mental health. Receiving more support from other people is also associated with more favorable mental health [28, 29]. The results obtained by Kong et al. (2015) showed that higher satisfaction with life and social support are associated with better mental health. According to their path analysis, social support acts as the mediator in the relationship between appreciation of life and satisfaction with life [30]. People with higher satisfaction with life use more effective and appropriate coping techniques, experience deeper positive emotions, and have better general health [10]. Social support helps the individual deal with tension and stress. In a systematic review study conducted in 2017 on the effect of social support and social capital on the health of female heads of households, social support and its dimensions (emotional, instrumental, and informational) were found to be effective on health, and female heads of households with higher levels of support had a better health status [31].

Based on the results, supportive roles (social support and perceived support) had a negative correlation with mental health and a positive correlation with satisfaction with life in female heads of households. Accordingly, given the role of women in the health of family members and the society and their greater vulnerability, the government and the relevant organizations are encouraged to provide these women with more attention and support.
