BACKGROUND
Cultural and religious norms and expectations may influence the needs and behavior of single women. This is particularly true in those countries where religion and cultural expectations are salient in everyday life. In this context, the present study investigated the needs and concerns of Iranian never-married women aged 35 and older.
METHODS
This qualitative study involved a conventional content analysis. Interviews were done with 23 never-married women aged 36-64 years in Iran.
RESULTS
A total of 773 codes, 22 subcategories, 8 categories, and 3 themes were extracted from the interviews. The 3 themes were: (1) mental-spiritual lack; categories were lack of emotional support, uncertain future, mental rumination, and sexual worries; (2) reform of culture and society; categories were an adverse effect of culture and being overlooked in society; (3) loneliness arising from disability; categories were aging and loneliness and sickness and loneliness.
CONCLUSIONS
The results of the analysis indicate that the needs and concerns of never-married women over the age of 35 years in Iran remain unmet. This suggests that policymakers and health planners should take into consideration the growing number of never-married women as a societal reality deserving of attention.
背景
文化和宗教规范和期望可能会影响单身女性的需求和行为。在那些宗教和文化期望在日常生活中很突出的国家，情况尤其如此。在这种情况下，本研究调查了伊朗 35 岁及以上未婚女性的需求和关注点。
方法
这是一项定性研究，采用常规内容分析法。在伊朗对 23 名年龄在 36-64 岁之间的未婚女性进行了访谈。
结果
从访谈中提取了 773 个代码、22 个子类别、8 个类别和 3 个主题。3 个主题是：（1）精神心理上的缺失；包括缺乏情感支持、未来不确定、精神沉思和性担忧；（2）文化和社会的改革；包括文化的负面影响和在社会中被忽视；（3）残疾导致的孤独；包括衰老和孤独、疾病和孤独。
结论
分析结果表明，伊朗 35 岁以上未婚女性的需求和关注点仍未得到满足。这表明，政策制定者和卫生规划者应考虑到越来越多的未婚女性作为一个值得关注的社会现实。
