Abstract :

Introduction: this study done to determine and provide a model for explaining the role and importance of the components needed In Social Security Hospitals due to importance of safety and health factors in the optimal management of nutrition part in hospitals and the lack of clarity on the impact of these factors on the preparation, production and distribution of healthy food. Methods: type of this study was qualitative - quantitative. The research population consisted of managers of hospitals, environmental health experts and nutrition experts. The data collection tool was an information form, that was a Social Security treatment checklist that completed by direct observation and interviewing. Data collected using a questionnaire including 15 questions that gathered in three areas. Use of SPSS software and AMOS Software analyzed with approach of modeling structural equations. Results: In this study, 3 aspects identified that included safety and health, monitoring and control, and human resources. Obtained Fitness was very close to unit, indicated the strength of the model's one dimensional. Based on the confirmatory factor analysis, "good food storage" in proper temperature and " Inappropriate storage conditions for raw materials "had the highest and the least effect among safety and health factors with coefficients of 0.753 and 0.554 , Respectively . Conclusion: In order to better manage of nutrition section in hospitals, while emphasizing on issues of health and safety, it is necessary to consider other influential factors and this will be applied in the future planning of the managers of social security hospitals.
