Abstract

Many women do not know much about contracting and spreading sexually transmitted diseases, and due to their sexual anatomy, cultural, religious, social and sanitary factors, they are more affected by sexually transmitted diseases. The current fundamental-applied research aimed at the lived experience and attitude of human papilloma (HPV) patients in the field of hijab and chastity: a qualitative study was conducted. Checked out. Using the phenomenological method, a semi-structured interview was conducted with purposive sampling and analyzed using the Claysey method. The findings of the research were categorized into three topics: reasons for entering into sexual relations outside the framework, attitude towards hijab and chastity, impact on life. The classes were divided into other sub-classes, such as the reasons for entering into sexual relations outside the framework were categorized into mental and psychological disturbances, personality factors, social factors, lack of practical religious education and the influence of the media. Based on the findings, it is concluded that these people have contradictory attitudes regarding hijab and chastity, which is a reason for them entering such relationships. Considering the lack of teaching life and communication skills in families and schools, and the lack of knowledge and similarities in the research sample about religion and right and wrong relationships, and as a result, regarding hijab and veiling, the authorities should implement the necessary planning and policies to teach communication and sexual skills.
