Abstract

Background: One of the effective ways to attract social collaboration to provide effective, prompt, and coordinated interventions in emergencies is through social innovation. The present study seeks to identify the factors affecting the implementation of the social innovation plan based on the collaboration between government and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) for saving people's lives in crises. The initial idea of this research was obtained from the best practice "Every Home Is a Health Base" which was implemented in Iran.

Methods: The Grounded Theory strategy has been used in this study. The statistical population of the study is health experts from the Ministry of Health and Medical Education of Iran. The study time span is during the first half of 2020. Exploratory analysis was used to identify the factors of social innovation. By selecting and reviewing 68 research in-depth, the initial framework was prepared. Then, through a semi-structured interview with experts, the framework was adapted and reviewed. Based on the analysis of the collected data, 39 open codes were extracted and the factors affecting the implementation of the social innovation were identified.

Results: The eight axis codes as the factors affecting the implementation of the social innovation plan based on the collaboration between government and NGOs are as follows: Paying attention to the components of the NGOs collaboration effectiveness, investment to attract NGOs collaboration, the ability to manage the implementation, the ability of networking, the ability of policymaking, providing the necessary cultural and educational infrastructure; Existence of capable legal organizations to solve the executive problems of the plan and facilitate coordination, and controlling, containing and reducing the effects of the crisis, as consequences.

Conclusions: Lessons learned from the COVID-19 pandemic have shown the world that the current governmental and social structures are not efficient enough to respond quickly to the emergence of global challenges. Social innovation is a solution to this problem. The findings of this study also confirm this and identify the factors affecting the implementation of the social innovation plan based on collaboration between governments and NGOs in crises. The results of this research give governments and policymakers an efficient solution by involving NGOs, especially in times of widespread crises. Also, they can be used in planning for social development.

基于COVID-19危机中政府和非政府组织合作的社会创新:来自伊朗的证据。
背景:吸引社会协作,在突发事件中提供有效、及时和协调的干预措施的有效途径之一是通过社会创新。本研究旨在以政府与非政府组织(ngo)在危机中拯救生命的合作为基础,找出影响社会创新计划实施的因素。这项研究的最初想法来自于在伊朗实施的"每个家庭都是一个健康基地"的最佳做法。方法:本研究采用扎根理论策略。本研究的统计对象是伊朗卫生和医学教育部的卫生专家。研究时间跨度为2020年上半年。采用探索性分析的方法,确定社会创新的影响因素。通过对68项深入研究的选择和回顾,初步编制了框架。然后,通过与专家的半结构化访谈,对该框架进行了调整和审查。在对收集到的数据进行分析的基础上,提取了39条开放规范,并对影响社会创新实施的因素进行了识别。结果:政府与非政府组织合作的社会创新计划实施的影响因素为:关注非政府组织合作有效性、吸引非政府组织合作的投资、管理实施能力、网络能力、政策制定能力、提供必要的文教基础设施;存在有能力的法律组织,以解决执行问题的计划和促进协调,并控制,遏制和减少危机的影响,作为后果。结论:从2019冠状病毒病大流行中吸取的教训向世界表明,目前的政府和社会结构不足以有效应对全球挑战的出现。社会创新是解决这一问题的一种方法。本研究的结果也证实了这一点,并确定了基于危机中政府与非政府组织合作的社会创新计划实施的影响因素。这项研究的结果为政府和政策制定者提供了一个有效的解决方案,让非政府组织参与进来,特别是在危机蔓延的时候。此外,它们还可用于规划社会发展。

期刊介绍: Infectious Diseases of Poverty is a peer-reviewed, open access journal that focuses on essential public health questions related to infectious diseases of poverty. It covers a wide range of topics and methods, including the biology of pathogens and vectors, diagnosis and detection, treatment and case management, epidemiology and modeling, zoonotic hosts and animal reservoirs, control strategies and implementation, new technologies, and their application. The journal also explores the impact of transdisciplinary or multisectoral approaches on health systems, ecohealth, environmental management, and innovative technologies. It aims to provide a platform for the exchange of research and ideas that can contribute to the improvement of public health in resource-limited settings. In summary, Infectious Diseases of Poverty aims to address the urgent challenges posed by infectious diseases in impoverished populations. By publishing high-quality research in various areas, the journal seeks to advance our understanding of these diseases and contribute to the development of effective strategies for prevention, diagnosis, and treatment.
