  • 摘要:BACKGROUND: Women's health is supposed to be one of the indicators of development. Reproductive health is an important part of women's health. Vulnerable women are a group of women whose reproductive health needs to be given special attention. The purpose of this study was to compare the reproductive health of vulnerable and nonvulnerable women. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This cross-sectional study was conducted on vulnerable women (n = 250) and nonvulnerable women (n = 250). The samples were selected from vulnerable women's centers and comprehensive health centers in Isfahan by quota and using simple random sampling method in 2017. The research tool was a researcher-made questionnaire completed by the researcher using interview method. Internal reliability of the questionnaire was confirmed to be 0.89 using Cronbach's alpha. A P < 0.05 was considered to be statistically significant. Data analysis was performed using SPSS 18 software and independent t-test, Mann–Whitney, Pearson, Spearman, and Chi-square tests. RESULTS: The results showed that the mean total score of reproductive health in the nonvulnerable group (81.41) was significantly higher than that of the vulnerable group (68.6). The mean total score and the score of reproductive health components, except some of them, were significantly different between the two groups (P < 0.05). Having an addicted spouse and unsafe sex were the most prevalent features associated with high-risk behaviors. CONCLUSIONS: According to the results, reproductive health status of vulnerable women is inappropriate in all dimensions. Given the importance of this issue, the development and implementation of special health programs for this group seem to be necessary.
