The present study was carried out to evaluate women's flourishing rate and some related factors in Sanandaj, Iran, in 2016. METHODS: This was a cross-sectional study on women aged between 18 to 64 years in Sanandaj City, Iran, that 400 of them were selected randomly. The data collection tool was flourishing questionnaire including 8 items. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS software and chi-square, t, and analysis of variance (ANOVA) tests. RESULTS: The highest average score (6.05 ± 1.19) referred to "I am deeply about the happiness of the others" and the lowest average score (4.57 ± 1.89) referred to "I enjoy my daily activities". There was a statistically significant difference between flourishing rate of subjects and their level of education (P = 0.04) as well as maternal education (P = 0.001). CONCLUSION: Considering the relation between the education and the flourishing rate, training classes in the field of mental health and flourishing for women is suggested.
