Abstract：
Sexual health literacy (SHL) is a set of skills related to sexual behaviors that can affect sexual behavior and empower individuals to maintain as well as improve their sexual health. This study aimed to investigate the rural women\'s sexual health literacy and its related factors in Iran. This cross-sectional study was conducted on 200 married women of reproductive ages referring to health center in Benaroyeh region along with six sub-villages in the South of Fars, Iran. Using convenience sampling method, we collected data via demographic-reproductive characteristics questionnaire and sexual health literacy for adult\'s questionnaire. We analyzed data using SPSS-16. Approximately 33.5% of the women obtained their sexual information online. The mean total SHL score was 75.64 ± 12.81. The SHL level was considered desirable in 82.5% of the participants. Among the four domains of SHL, the scores of most subjects on access skills and analysis-evaluation skills were unfavorable, 24.5% and 35.5%, respectively. The results show that the SHL level was correlated with education (P = 0.021) and inversely related to the gravidity (P = 0.04). There was also a statistically significant relationship between SHL level and women\'s career (P = 0.026), spouse\'s career (P = 0.01), and parity (P = 0.05). Most rural women had desirable levels of SHL. Given the lower levels of SHL in access and analysis-evaluation skills, and given the prevalence of Internet use, the provision of high quality and accessible online sexual health content within social and cultural norms is recommended.
摘要：
性健康素养（SHL）是一组与性行为相关的技能，可以影响性行为并赋予个人维持和改善性健康的能力。本研究旨在调查伊朗农村妇女的性健康素养及其相关因素。这项横断面研究是对200名已婚育龄妇女进行的，涉及Benaroyeh地区的健康中心以及法尔斯南部的六个子村庄，伊朗。采用方便抽样的方法，我们通过人口-生殖特征问卷和成人性健康素养问卷收集数据。我们使用SPSS-16分析数据。大约33.5％的女性在网上获得了性信息。平均总SHL评分为75.64±12.81。82.5%的参与者认为SHL水平是理想的。在SHL的四个领域中，大多数科目的访问技能和分析评估技能得分不佳，24.5%和35.5%，分别。结果表明，SHL水平与受教育程度相关（P=0.021），与妊娠程度成反比（P=0.04）。SHL水平与女性职业生涯之间也存在统计学上的显着关系（P=0.026）。配偶的职业生涯（P=0.01），和奇偶校验（P=0.05）。大多数农村妇女的SHL水平理想。鉴于SHL在访问和分析评估技能方面的水平较低，考虑到互联网使用的普遍性，建议在社会和文化规范范围内提供高质量和可访问的在线性健康内容。
