Case Study
<strong>Background & Aims of the Study: </strong>Women’s health including, the sexual dimension is the<br>
basis of family’s and community’s health. Due to the lack of research on women’s sexual health,<br>
investigations seem necessary in this area. The present research aimed to study factors affecting<br>
women’s sexual health.<br>
<strong>Materials and Methods:</strong> This was qualitative research. The required data were collected using<br>
in-depth individual interviews. The statistical population consisted of married women under<br>
the age of 50 years residing in Qom City, Iran. Twenty married women were selected by the<br>
purposive sampling method and data were obtained until reaching saturation.<br>
<strong>Results:</strong> Our findings indicated that sexual disorders, anal intercourse, neglecting sexual foreplay,<br>
environmental conditions, body image, pudency, and feeling guilty during intercourse degraded<br>
sexual health according to the interviewed women. According to this qualitative research data,<br>
the most common dysfunction reported by the interviewed women was anorgasmia.<br>
Conclusion: In the present qualitative study, the factors affecting the sexual health of housewives<br>
were identified. Paying attention to these characteristics in designing appropriate interventions is<br>
suggested by health authorities in the country.
