Review an‎d Critique of the Armyʹs Actions on Social Health an‎d Hygiene during Reza Shah Pahlaviʹs Era

تاريخ

The aim of this research is to examine an‎d criticize the actions of the army an‎d military forces, especially the police, during the reign of Reza Shah Pahlavi an‎d their impact on public health an‎d social hygiene of Iranian society. This research was conducted with a qualitative approach based on historical-social analysis, an‎d data were collected through library studies an‎d analysis of primary an‎d secondary sources. The findings showed that Reza Shahʹs military policies had dual consequences on society. On the one han‎d, creating social order, establishing medical infrastructure, an‎d demonstrating national authority helped strengthen the sense of apparent security an‎d national pride in a part of society. On the other han‎d, coercion to change lifestyles, uncovering the hijab, changing clothing, an‎d suppressing individual freedoms led to a decrease in social self-esteem, a crisis of cultural identity, an‎d a weakening of the mental health of the society. The results of the analysis indicate that Reza Shahʹs authoritarian modernization in the field of social health, despite some infrastructural achievements, left lasting negative effects on the psychological an‎d social levels that continued into later generations. This research shows that public health does not only depend on health infrastructure, but also requires attention to social capital, collective trust, an‎d cultural identity. Accordingly, the historical experience of Iran during the Reza Shah era can be instructive for todayʹs policymakers an‎d highlight the importance of popular participation, social justice, an‎d avoiding authoritarianism in the development of public health.
