Abstract

The objective of this article is to propose a protocol for developing a model for strengthening the public health system in Iran. Currently, there is no clearly articulated model for strengthening public health systems during the pandemic of new emerging respiratory diseases in Iran. The protocol described here aims to: (1) identify components for strengthening public health systems, during the pandemic of new emerging respiratory diseases worldwide, (2) identify components for strengthening Iran’s public health system, and (3) design a model for strengthening the public health system in Iran during the pandemic of new emerging respiratory diseases.The protocol proposes three phases. In the first phase, a realistic review will be conducted to identify components for strengthening public health systems worldwide based on six building block framework. In the second phase, a qualitative study will be used to identify components for strengthening public health systems in Iran during the pandemic of new emerging respiratory diseases. In the third phase, an initial model will be designed, and the Delphi technique will be used to finalize the model. Due to fragility and the significant strain that public health systems experienced during the pandemic, it is imperative to introduce a model that strengthens public health systems through some initiatives and strategies and explains the mechanisms by which they operate. A realist review and qualitative study will provide the evidence needed to support the effective implementation of public health interventions, taking into consideration the diverse contexts of these interventions in Iran. © 2024 Journal of Education and Health Promotion.
