From these, 273[58.8 percent] were employed in Fars province and 191[41.2 percent] in Mazandaran province. The majority of participants [65.5 percent] were women. mean score of satisfaction of SIB [from 5 points] in general was 2.94+/-0.8, and it was 2.89+/-0.8 in the Fars and 3.03+/-0.7 in the Mazandaran provinces. Mean score of satisfaction was 2.75+/-0.7 in urban family physicians and 3.04+/-0.8 in health care providers. Satisfaction level showed significant difference based on participants' type of occupation [P=0.0001] and province [P=0.122]
