This paper provides a theoretical analysis on the effects of an external Zeeman field and Rashba spin-orbit interactions on superconductivity. We have extensively studied their influence on the superconducting transition temperature $T_c$ and the quasiparticle excitation energy. Our investigation includes a detailed examination of both the $s$-wave and $p$-wave pairing states. Implications for the recently discovered family of superconductors, A$_2$Cr$_3$As$_3$ (A = Na, K, Rb and Cs), as well as the validation of our theory have been discussed.
