理解保守的美国穆斯林妇女对子宫颈癌预防方法的复杂性和犹豫不决对解决健康差异至关重要。本质性研究旨在探索宗教、行为和社会文化因素对弗吉尼亚州穆斯林妇女在子宫颈癌筛查（CC-S）和人乳头瘤病毒疫苗（HPV-V）方面决策的影响。通过对居住在弗吉尼亚州的10名穆斯林妇女进行访谈，收集了定性数据，作为2021年8月至9月之间进行的混合方法横断面研究的一部分。研究结果显示，参与者对子宫颈癌、CC-S和HPV-V的了解有限，同时出现了一些明显的主题，如文化影响、误解、语言障碍和美国复杂的医疗体系带来的挑战。未来的研究应重点探索这些障碍，以减轻穆斯林人群中子宫颈癌的影响。© 2023.

Understanding the complexities surrounding cervical cancer prevention methods and hesitancy among conservative Muslim American women is crucial in addressing health disparities. This qualitative study aimed to delve into the religious, behavioral, and socio-cultural factors influencing Muslim women's decisions regarding cervical cancer screening (CC-S) and HPV vaccination (HPV-V) in Virginia, USA. Through interviews with 10 Muslim women residing in Virginia, qualitative data were collected as part of a mixed-method cross-sectional study conducted between August and September 2021. Findings revealed that participants had limited knowledge about cervical cancer, CC-S, and HPV-V, with notable themes emerging, such as cultural influences, misconceptions, language barriers, and challenges posed by the intricate US healthcare system. Future research should focus on exploring these barriers to mitigate the impact of cervical cancer within the Muslim population.© 2023.
