Abstract: (440 Views)
Cervical cancer is one of the leading causes of death among women, and human papillomavirus infection is the cause of more than 90% of cervical cancers. Since the spread of this virus is increasing and currently, the program of vaccination and prevention of this virus is not included in the plans of the Ministry of Health of Iran, presenting policy challenges and solutions can be an effective step in formulating a policy brief and implementing the vaccination program. This study was conducted in three stages. Firstly, a survey was conducted to assess women's awareness and attitude toward the human papillomavirus in Zahedan. In the next step, a literature review was carried out on the challenges of vaccination cost, number of vaccine doses, and vaccination coverage. Finally, previous studies were used to examine the social and cultural situation of Sistan Baluchistan province. The results demonstrated that half of the participants had moderate to weak knowledge and attitude about this virus, and participants' level of education had a statistically significant relationship with their awareness and attitudes. In addition, due to the low age of marriage, high prevalence of polygamy, and the presence of the youngest population in this province, policy solutions are presented. Educational interventions based on new methods for the target population to prevent and raise awareness and attitude (clips, teasers, animations, and multimedia content) were designed and provided to comprehensive health, broadcasting, and education centers. Vaccination should be given priority in this province. In order to implement the vaccination program, we also need the support of international health organizations.
