Abstract

Social health factors influence the well-being and continuation of jobs for workers. Factors such as familial support, their attitude, workplace cohesiveness, and social life play a major role in social health impacting all other dimensions of health also.

OBJECTIVES:

The aim of this study was. 1. To describe and analyze the individual viewpoints of workers or their family respondents about their social well-being. 2. To analyze the social determinants such as income, cohesiveness, discrimination, and recreation, that explain a worker’s social health status even beyond work.

METHODOLOGY:

A cross-sectional survey of the sample size of 117 respondents, residing in the urban field practice area of the medical college.

RESULTS:

Discrimination at the workplace was found low. Workplace cohesiveness, recreation, and regularity of jobs affected quality of life (QoL). Job satisfaction was prevalent among 80.34% of families.

DISCUSSION:

Time for recreation with family and workers desiring job change was significantly affected by QoL scores also. Job satisfaction was more among skilled workers. The majority of the residents put up in the area for more than 10 years. This permanence influences the regularity of the job.

CONCLUSION:

Major social determinants of QoL among workers were cohesiveness, grounds of discrimination, regularity of job, residential permanence, family time, and desire to change the job. Job satisfaction was more among skilled workers.
