This research is conducted with the objective of identifying the components of multicultural education and using the qualitative research method of metastases. All stages of Meta-Synthesis are based on Erwin's six-step model. The research community includes all the authentic Persian scientific articles that were published in the period of 2013-2021. By analyzing and reviewing articles related to multicultural education, articles were removed and selected. Among the 868 articles, based on the following criteria: research title, research method, research language, a number of eleven articles have been selected. In order to analyze the findings, each article is analyzed without considering the conceptual framework. The process of data analysis began by rereading the findings from each article and gradually progressed to the synthesis and interpretation of findings across studies. Similar and different findings are coded and classified. Thematic analysis method has been used in the coding process. Finally, with repeated reviews and decisions, 3 main themes and 11 sub-themes of the components of multicultural education have been identified and presented. The results of the surveys show that in order to realize the components of multicultural education, the curricula should be distanced from monoculture and be presented in line with the interests of all cultures.

In most societies, despite the large presence of women in the social arena the position of women in the society is still known with the same duties that the patriarchal society has delegated to women. Despite the progress made by women all over the world, gender differences are still the main cause of social inequalities. The success any society depends on the use of the available expertise, but the inequality of conditions between women and men can be seen in all fields of society, and in order to facilitate the entry conditions for the presence and survival of women as a huge part of the population of any society, so far some measures have been taken. Scientific and necessary planning, however, has not been adopted. Although gender inequality is considered an important issue in legal and social institutions and has been repeatedly taken into consideration in the theoretical and theoretical fields, it has faced challenges in practice. The aim of this research was to identify the dimensions, components and factors that result in gender inequality, by using a meta-synthesis method. This method includes seven steps that evaluate and systematically analyze the results of previous studies. This study analyzed the results of previous articles, conducted in 2020 and 2021. Cohen's kappa coefficient was used for validity and reliability. Among the primary articles, 26 articles were identified suitable. The results showed 5 main dimensions including family, media, as well as social, political, and cultural factors that explain the theme of gender inequality.

Virtual social media is one of the most important and effective social media that has been able to affect the private relationships of citizens in the form of everyday and practical tools. In addition to countless advantages, this space also brings many disadvantages, which sometimes cause serious harm to users due to the lack of familiarity with the virtual space. Therefore, the importance of identifying and investigating the harms of virtual social media has been taken into consideration; In such a way that many research articles are written and published on this subject every year, but due to the fact that these articles were conducted with different statistical population and different geographical, economic, social and cultural conditions, they have faced different results. On this basis, the current research has tried to identify and classify the dimensions of these damages using the meta-synthesis method, and finally, design and present the final model of the dimensions of cyber space damages; Therefore, the aim of the research is to identify and classify the damages of virtual space, and to design a new model to understand the dimensions of the damages of virtual social media. For this reason, the results of previous researches in the years 1390 to 1400 were analyzed using the meta-synthesis method. By checking the quality of the articles, among the 54 articles, 42 were finally selected for analysis. The findings of the research showed that cultural dimensions, social networks, religious institutions, personality and deality are the most important vulnerable dimensions of virtual social media.

The ontology of the cultural project has not been taken seriously among cultural researchers as it deserves. It can be said that part of the wandering of cultural actions is caused by the lack of supporting models for project design and the weakness of the ontological support of the existing models. This research was conducted with the aim of configuring a structure for the ontology of the cultural project, based on the research approach of qualitative content analysis. In the implementation of this strategy, for the stage of data collection from the library method and systematic review, for the stage of data analysis and combination, from the meta-synthesis method, for the implementation of the meta-synthesis method, from the Sandelowski and Barroso model, for the implementation of this model from the coding technique and for the implementation of this technique MAXQDA software tool was used. Among the reviewed models, methods and methodologies, in total, 10 options were selected to perform meta-synthesis. This research believes that the cultural project, only with the action of the executive.  It does not end, but its completion requires action on the part of the audience. This research defines the cultural project in the form of eight main components and six sub-components, which are located on two sides of the performer and the audience. Finally, based on a cyclic narrative of the cultural project, by placing these components in an intersecting rotational process, the ontological structure of the cultural project has been configurated.

The purpose of this research qualitative studies meta- synthesis related to hijab in Iran after the Islamic Revolution. The source of the research was from the 811 bases during the 1357- 1399 in two scientific sites. At first stage, 76 sources and in the second 53 sources were found based on content matching. The quality of the sources as well as the credibility and reliability of the findings were examined. As results, two general themes of "traditional hijab" and "modern hijab" were extracted. The traditional hijab was consisting of the characteristics, function and solutions to strengthen the hijab, the supporting arguments from religious teachings, the reasons for the tendency to wear, how to deal with non-observance of the hijab in order to strengthen the desire to wear The consequences of bad hijab and how to portray it in domestic websites compared to modern hijab, considering the meaning-making axes such as the meaning, shape, types of hijab, supporting arguments, the causes and contexts of bad hijab and how to deal with it, the status of the hijab and how to portray the hijab in Foreign sites were placed at two ends of a spectrum. In the light of existing relationships between their different levels, the "conceptual model of hijab" was abstracted.

Among various phenomena, culture and its belongings, including cultural products and practices, are among the things that are not considered as important as the extent and intensity of their influence. The proof of this claim is the lack, and in fact, the absence of models and guidelines for the design of cultural actions and products. Since the design of methodologies, methods, techniques and tools supporting the design of cultural actions is deeply dependent on ontological studies, the aim of this research was to produce a coherent structure to introduce the elements of the cultural project from the ontological dimension with a network approach. This research was based on the research approach of qualitative content analysis by adopting the strategy of analysis and synthesis. In the implementation of this strategy, for the stage of data collection from the library method and systematic review, for the stage of data analysis and synthesis, from the meta-synthesis method, for the implementation of the meta-synthesis method, from the model of Sandelowski and Barroso, for the implementation of this model from the coding technique and for the implementation of this The technique of MAXQDA software tool is used. Among the reviewed models, methods and methodologies, in total, 10 options were chosen to perform meta-synthesis. This research believes that the cultural project is not completed by the action of the performer, but its completion depends on the action of the audience. The configuration of this view using the metaphor of tissue is such that cultural project are like interweaving threads of beneficence into threads of exploitation and finally what is achieved is a cultural project as a coherent weave. Beneficence threads and exploitation threads are based on the five aspects defined for each move, including five threads "Drive", "Agent", "Accessory", "Act" and "Terminal".

Innovation capacity is a key element in the continuity of innovation and growth and survival in firms. Despite extensive studies of innovation capacity, there is little agreement on the components of this concept. Accurate knowledge of innovation capacity components is essential because of its importance in achieving higher performance in innovation. The present study has identified and explained the components of the concept of innovation capacity using the beyond method. To this end, a systematic review of the research background was conducted for the common dimensions of previous research, and by selecting 31 quality research in the field of study, 33 codes، 14 concepts and 4 components of innovation capacity were identified and labeled. The results of this research show that the components of the technical and intellectual component, human, environmental, background and organizational, are effective in improving the capacity of innovation. It is possible to achieve a technical and intellectual component by strengthening research and development and information and communication technology. The human component is realized by improving learning, culture and the quality of human capital. Improving the environmental and contextual component is possible by improving the macroeconomic-social environment, the state of competition and the market, and access to urban facilities. The organizational component of innovation capacity is achieved through collaboration, networking, knowledge management, financial resource allocation, entrepreneurship, improving the overall performance of the organization and the performance of organizational managers.

In recent years, mobbing has emerged as a significant global problem in workplaces, leading to negative organizational behaviors (Alfano et al., 2021). This phenomenon poses challenges to productivity, competitive advantage, and organizational sustainability (Kurnaz & Oğuzhan, 2021). Mobbing refers to a situation where certain members of an organization are targeted, harassed, rejected, and socially isolated, resulting in a detrimental impact on the performance of the individuals affected (Balducci et al., 2009). Consequently, mobbing can have unfortunate consequences within the organization, disrupting harmony of the work environment and diminishing employee’s motivation (Psunder, 2015). Therefore, it is crucial to thoroughly study mobbing, identify its causes and consequences, and effectively manage it (Mehmet, 2021). However, the existing research in this field has only focused on specific aspects of the issue, lacking a comprehensive and cohesive framework for understanding the causes and consequences of mobbing. Consequently, there is a gap in the literature that needs to be addressed. To address this gap and facilitate the management and mitigation of the destructive effects of mobbing, this study aimed to design a comprehensive model to encompass the causes and consequences of mobbing within organizations. By doing so, we aimed to contribute to the existing literature and provide valuable insights into this phenomenon.

This study employed a qualitative approach and utilized the meta-synthesis method to systematically review and integrate the findings of various research studies with the aim of reshaping the existing knowledge (Jensen & Allen, 1996) and proposing new frameworks (Paterson et al., 2001). The seven stages of meta-synthesis, as presented by Sandelowski & Barroso (2007), were followed to analyze and combine the results of previous research studies. In the initial stage, research questions were formulated and in the 2nd stage, a comprehensive literature review was conducted. Relevant keywords were searched in both Persian and English databases to identify the necessary sources in the 3rd stage. Subsequently, the identified sources were evaluated based on their title, abstract, and content, resulting in the selection of 49 sources for inclusion in this research. In the 4th stage, the selected sources were thoroughly examined and the causes and consequences of mobbing in organizations were extracted as primary codes. In the 5th stage, the identified codes were carefully reviewed, duplicate codes were eliminated, and efforts were made to categorize the codes into specific and distinct components based on their semantic and conceptual similarities. Next, the components were classified into dimensions to create a model representing the causes and consequences of mobbing in organizations. To ensure the research reliability, the Kappa index was utilized for evaluating the agreement between researchers in the coding process.

The findings of this study revealed that the causes of mobbing in organizations could be categorized into the three individual, group, and organizational dimensions. The individual dimension encompassed 3 components: the victim’s characteristics, the mobber’s characteristics, and interpersonal factors. The group dimension included in-group and out-group factors, while the organizational dimension comprised job-related and non-job-related factors. Although previous studies had touched upon these dimensions, none of them had comprehensively addressed all the three dimensions in a single study. For instance, Demiroren & Simsek (2021) focused solely on the individual level, neglecting the other dimensions. Similarly, Picakciefe et al. (2017) only examined the characteristics of the immediate environment. On the other hand, Demiroren & Simsek (2021) explored organizational causes but failed to consider other aspects. Furthermore, the results indicated that the consequences of mobbing could be analyzed across the four individual, group, organizational, and extra-organizational dimensions. The individual dimension encompassed attitudinal-perceptual, physiological, and behavioral-functional components. The group dimension included in-group and out-group consequences, while the organizational dimension comprised cultural components and managerial-executive consequences. Lastly, the extra-organizational dimension encompassed family and social consequences. Although previous researchers had examined the consequences of mobbing, no studies had comprehensively addressed all these dimensions together. For example, İnandi & Büyüközkan (2022) and Kurnaz & Oğuzhan (2021) focused primarily on individual consequences, while Dagli & Arslantas (2022) emphasized group and organizational levels. Notably, the extra-organizational consequences had received limited attention in the literature with only a few studies (Plos et al., 2022; Yildiz, 2007) exploring this aspect of analysis.

The World Tourism Organization has recognized senior tourism as an important opportunity in the tourism industry because Population ageing is a global phenomenon And according to the United Nations, the population of all countries is aging . On the other hand, Today's seniors have a higher level of wealth, more free time and improved health conditions to participate in tourism activities than their predecessors. Despite the growth in the number of researches in senior tourism field, there is still gap for more researches, especially in countries like Iran where the population is moving rapidly towards aging. Therefore This study aims to identify and provide the most important Categories of Senior Tourism Development base on previous studies. To achieve this goal, with adopting a qualitative meta-synthesis approach, We analyzed 82 articles And after open coding and axial coding, 10 sub-categories and 4 categories were provided: (1) Motivations include push motivations and pull motivations; (2) Constraints include intrapersonal Constraints, interpersonal Constraints and structural Constraints; (3) Facilitators include intrapersonal Facilitators , interpersonal Facilitators and structural Facilitators; (4) Benefits include Improve the quality of life(Objective factors), Improve the quality of life(Subjective factors). Most Reviewed studies(Both Persian and English sources) deal only with a specific aspect of senior tourism, and advantage of this study is its comprehensive view(from the Tourists' Perspective).

The current research aimed to discover the effective patterns of substance use in Iran and provide appropriate solutions based on previous research studies.

This research was descriptive (systematic review) and analytical (qualitative and of meta-synthesis type). A systematic search of domestically published articles was conducted in the Scientific Information Database (SID), the Magiran database, etc., aiming to determine valid, reliable, and relevant documents in the period of 2002 to 2021, and 89 articles were extracted, which in the next step, 58 relevant articles were selected based on the methodological rules of meta-synthesis. The quality of the results (validity) was evaluated through consultation with several experts and reliability evaluation using the Kappa index.

Descriptive results showed that the mean age of starting substance use in Iran is during adolescence and youth. Also, the first experience of getting to know substances was through relatives and friends, and factors such as ethnic subculture, social norms, contextual-demographic factors, individual-psychological factors, social failure, high-risk behavior, differential association, socialization, leisure style, social control, social label, socioeconomic anomie, policy-making weakness, and structural-functional disorders affected substance use. In general terms, the aforementioned meta-synthesis was conducted in the form of 6 constructive themes and 19 basic themes with related statistical primary codes.

The prevalence of substance use and its transformation into a norm and lifestyle has complexity under causal conditions, and its solutions should also be based on comprehensive and comprehensive policy-making across various fields, such as family, society, economy, culture, and deep social education related to the mentioned issue.

Social participation is one of the important concepts of sociology and branches of participation, which includes a wide range of activities like membership and cooperation with religious, scientific, social, economic, professional, occupational, local, regional, and national associations, altruism, and cooperation in holding various ceremonies. By organizing groups, social capital expands, empowers social groups, and strengthens social trust and solidarity. It makes the society dynamic and its conditions unpredictable. The purpose of the study was to  identify the most important dimensions of social participation among students and answer the following question: What are the most important factors and dimensions affecting social participation of Iranian students in the university?  

The research was carried out with a practical purpose and a qualitative method.  A meta-synthesis methods was used by studying information sources in the field of factors affecting social participation of students. Meta-synthesis includes the stages of choosing the research question and goal, collecting the related researches, making a decision about inclusion and exclusion of studies, and evaluating and ranking of studies. It is based on mutual translation of the findings of studies and combination of translations. This research used the 7-step meta-synthesis method of Sandelowski and Barroso. The statistical population of this research included all the studies on students' social participation that were available in the University Jihad System (SID) and database of the country's publications (Magiran and Irandoc). In this systems, the terms ‘social participation’, ‘student participation’, and ‘participation’ were searched by limiting the search to Persian language and the time period of 2011-2021. A total of 34 articles were obtained and out of these 34 articles, 20 articles were accepted based on the meta-synthesis criteria. In this research, the criteria for selecting articles were as follows:Place of article publication: accepted articles in the database of approved scientific journals on Magiran, Sid, and Irandoc sitesTopic: Factors affecting students' participation in Iranian societyGeneral scope: students’ social participationResearch method meta-synthesisResearch time frame: 2011-2021Language used: PersianDiscussion of.

The research findings showed that the 5 social, individual, collaborative, cultural, and psychological factors affected the students' social participation. The social factor included social trust, efficiency of scientific associations, benefits of membership in associations, and social vitality. The individual factor included age, gender, education, field of study, employment, and status. The collaborative factor included social participation, cooperative activity, and cooperative behavior. The cultural factor included media, television, social networks, religiosity, and culture. The psychological factor included feeling of powerlessness, life satisfaction, self-respect, cooperative spirit, and social tolerance. The results revealed that all the social, economic, political, and cultural aspects of the students’ lives developed with the increase and expansion of their participations in university affairs, while strengthening solidarity, improving the students’ life qualities, and finally reinforcing creativity and self-confidence. Several studies had confirmed and emphasized the findings of the current research, stating that social participation was affected by several factors, such as religious beliefs, historical background, social and economic bases, age, sex, race, ethnicity, structure, religion, cultural values, education, job, place of residence, personality, social capital, and people’s psychological characteristics of. Some emphasized the influence of education, income, and social status on social participation. Some others talked about the usefulness and benefit of participation and stated that people would take action if its benefit was more than its loss. According to the obtained results, the following measures will be suggested:Relevant organizations should encourage the students to have more participation by holding group and team competitions among them.Universities should encourage the students to participate more socially by holding special courses and providing the necessary conditions.

The present study aimed to discover and extract the correlates of substance use among students in experimental evidence from 2016 to 2023.

The current study was applied and qualitative, which was conducted using meta-synthesis method. The scope of this study was research articles between 2016 and 2023 for international research and 2016 to 2022 for Iranian research. By using a purposeful approach and until reaching saturation and using the integration approach and Sandelowski and Barroso's meta-synthesis method (2007), 156 articles were selected and after the evaluation criteria, 61 articles were finally selected. Qualitative data in the form of categories, concepts, and codes were analyzed and implemented and analyzed in Maxqda 18 software.

The results showed that psychological (cognitive, emotional, behavioral, and personality dimensions), family (communicative patterns, parental dimensions, family emotional atmosphere), academic (academic excitement, school dimensions, interpersonal relationships at school), social (community dimensions, interpersonal dimensions, socioeconomic status), and modulating (individual, family, social, and academic) correlates were related to students' substance use in empirical evidence. The value of Kappa index in this research was 0.89.

According to the extracted dimensions, it is necessary to design interventions, and plan and implement educational, therapeutic, and social policies in a systematic way to reduce substance use among students.

In recent decades Iranian public education system faced enormous challenges and issues in the area of planning, performance, and interaction among stockholders. Nevertheless, little wonder that by gaining the trust of parents and attracting their efforts, there will be a novel approach to the issues. This research aims to address educational policy issues through public participation. First of all, a qualitative method, the meta-synthesis had been used to identify the main components of participation. Initial findings have been 9 main components which are: citizen’s empowerment and beliefs, justice, information flow, quality and quantity of information, executive agencies, legal support, social factors, and the impacts of previous policies. The qualitative-quantitative method, ISM, then, has been used to discover the final model. In the final model, a five-level shape appeared. This ladder-shaped model requires entering each stage by ensuring a certain level of confidence in the previous stage. At the bottom of the model, the result of previous policies and social factors are the primary forces of society to participate. On the next level, legal support is necessary to create a participatory culture in the atmosphere of public opinion and the administrative structure of the educational system. Justice is a manifestation of the realization of a participatory culture in society resulting in opening a special account on the trends of citizenship. The final model of research requires a balance action by causal view but with culturist approach that will enable us to have participation maturity in the education system.

The extreme spatial disparity and heterogeneity between Tehran city and other settlements in its urban area have led to a decline in spatial justice and amplified differences within the Tehran metropolitan area. This study aims to identify the key factors that influence the realization of the Tehran Metropolitan Plan objectives in the metropolitan area management system using an institutional approach and meta-synthesis method. A systematic review of scientific research articles published between 1390 to 1400 was conducted, and the meta-synthesis method was used to analyze the findings of 23 studies. The results indicate that the reformation of Tehran Metropolitan's organizational structure is the most crucial step toward institutional change, as per the proposed indicators. At the variable level, the study emphasizes the need for the adoption of a multi-centered development model that aligns with institutional change in planning systems, comprehensive and integrated management of the metropolitan area, shifting towards governance of the metropolitan area, centralization, creating a multifaceted functional network, transparency, accountability, and collaborative efforts.

Despite the progress of medical science, disability has not decreased significantly, so that today, social thinkers have raised disability as a global issue. The normal / healthy lifestyle of people with disabilities is one of the most complex and multidimensional issues in the field of disability studies that has attracted the attention of researchers and has faced an explosion of scientific products in such a way that mastering all aspects of the problem is somewhat impossible. Therefore, the aim of this study is to typify the normal / healthy life patterns of people with disabilities and its causes based on foreign studies and research conducted in this field.

This research has been carried out using interpretive paradigm, inductive approach and meta-combined method. The statistical population of all foreign research in English in the field of dimensions of social life, which was conducted in the period 2021-2000 and based on the criteria of the research, seventy-five qualitative articles were selected and re-coded were analyzed.

Based on the findings, three types of independent life pattern (relative independence), supportive life pattern and control / protection life pattern were extracted; Life patterns consist of six dimensions: social interaction, participation, proper nutrition, mental health, physical activity and recreation, and leisure. Also, fourteen categories were extracted in the causes and contexts section, which were divided into six general categories, which are: socio-cultural, economic and managerial factors, legal, health, intelligent technology and psychological factors.

The normal social life of people with disabilities depends on the attitude of society and social policies that are adapted from the socio-historical conditions of society. In such situations, it is necessary to provide a structural / cultural context for a healthy / normal life of people with disabilities through an interactive approach.

The abundance of data and thematic information in the field of tourism, on the one hand, and the importance of a systematic system to achieve a competitive advantage from tourism, on the other hand, are the main reasons for the formation of this research, and based on this, the goal of this descriptive-exploratory research is the presentation of the model of recognition of tourism development in Iran. This issue has been followed through a meta-study of the qualitative findings of 187 doctoral dissertations from the last four decades after the Islamic Revolution.  Quantitative analysis was used to describe the features and characteristics of the study community, and then, in order to reread the findings of qualitative studies, the meta-synthesis method was used. A checklist tool as well as the "Evaluation Critical Skills Program" are used for qualitative evaluation of research texts. With documentary studies, the codes related to the components influencing them were obtained.  Reliability measurement with kappa coefficient and statistical software "SPSS" version 24, 71%, which shows the closeness of researcher and expert. Considering that the significant number is smaller than 0.05% of the assumption of independence of the extracted codes, their appropriate reliability was confirmed. Finally, using the Maxqd software, the total number of tourism studies in six categories, including urban tourism with the highest frequency (190 cases), medical tourism (55 cases), rural tourism (41 cases), sports tourism (36 cases), religious tourism (9 frequent cases), and nature tourism (4 cases), were categorized. Also, under these categories, 33 cases in the dimension of factors affecting the development of tourism, as well as 26 cases in the dimension of hindering obstacles, and finally eight themes, including the management and planning of tourism affairs, physical infrastructures of artifacts, cultural infrastructures or behavioral infrastructures related to the goodness of human interaction, Social and security infrastructures, legal-legal infrastructures, natural and historical infrastructures, and professional infrastructures, were obtained. Together, these themes provide a model of tourism governance knowledge. Finally, in the end, the science researcher has proposed the effective interaction of knowledge and rationality in practice in an integrated and networked system as a suitable strategy to achieve the model of scientific knowledge and its desired governance.

he emergence of the consumer society in the last few decades and the issue of body management as one of the basic components of such a society has occupied the minds of many researchers. The aim of the current research is to investigate the factors affecting body management in the country, which was carried out using the metacombination method and the seven-stage model of Sandelovski and Barroso (2003). Based on this, relying on the criteria of metacombination method, the results of previous studies conducted between 2011 and 2022 were examined. By using related keywords, previous studies were identified and among 487 articles, finally 72 articles were selected using meta-combination criteria In order to check the quality and reliability of the findings of this research, Kappa index was used. The results of this index have shown the appropriate quality of research findings. The findings of this study led to the extraction of different codes, and after continuous back and forth and examination and combination of the initial findings of this research in sub-fields, seven main fields were obtained, which in order of frequency are: individual and psychological dimension with social; cultural dimension; media dimension; medical and biological dimension; Political dimension and contextual variables. Finally, the results of this research showed that the objectification of the body, the feeling of self-superiority, distinctiveness, body censorship, gaining social status and social approval from reference groups such as family, friends and peers are among the most important factors that affect body management. It is effective among people in the society.

One of the most significant chalanges during retirement period is the isuue of quality of life. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of cultural, economical, and social capital on the quality of life of the retired teachers in Jawanroud, a county in Kermanshah Province in 2020.

The method of this study is descriptive-analytic. 170 teachers were randomly selected as the sample of the study. Questionnaires were utilized to gather the data. The instruments used were a researcher-made questionnaire on cultural, economic, and social capital as well as the standard quality of life questionnaire of the World Health Organization (WHO). Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis’ comparative tests as well as multivariate regression were used to analyze the data.

The results of the study indicated that the mean of social factor and quality of life of the retired teachers in Jawanroud was obove the average (3.43). The mean of social variable of retired children (3.50) was more than economic (2.50) and cultural (1.40) one. Cultural varaiable was more among women than men while social and economic of men were more that that of women. The results also demonstrated that there was a significant correlation between the quality of life and the variables of age and education. Finally, the regression analysis indicated that the cultural, economical, and social capital as well as the quality of life had a significant correlation with each other, and these three variables had 0.56 of prediction for quality of life and its elements.

Therefore, it can be concluded that cultural, economic and social capital are the most important capital for explaning the quality of life of the retired teachers, which should be taken into account by those in charge in this regard.

With the rise of social and cultural changes in societies, the quality of life of the elderly as a multifaceted structure has become of interest to researchers and scholars. The purpose of this study is to design a model on the quality of life's components for the elderly based on social changes in Iran. 

Method and Data: 

The research method used in this study is meta-synthesis. In the present paper, 21 published articles between 2003-2021 were selected for inclusion in the analysis. 

We designed a model on the quality of life components for the elderly in Iran which includes two objective and subjective dimensions. Our designed model includes two categories and eleven subcategories. Results of analysis show that the researchers identified 11 concepts and the experts identified 10 concepts, with 8 concepts in common for both cases. 

The objective dimension of the quality of life of the elderly includes the components of physical function, body pains, general health, physical role and economic ability. The components of the subjective dimension of quality of life of the elderly include vitality, mental health, emotions, sexual satisfaction, life satisfaction and quality of sleep. The designed model was validated based on the identification of quality of life's components. 

Key Message: 

In the coming years, the elderly population in Iran is increasing. Therefore, policymaking and macro planning regarding the quality of life of the elderly should lead to its improvement.
