Under two main categories of the need for economic and financial security and the need for a safe society, we extracted 11 subcategories following 32 codes. According to the findings, most participants agreed on the important role that sense of social security has in their lives and their health. CONCLUSION: The important role of sense of social security in participant's lives and health was the main important point of our findings, emphasized by most of participants.
