Abstract
Introduction: The optimal level of women's capability can empower them to make decision independently in main issues of their health. This study aimed to identify determinants of health care empowerment based on Theory of Planned Behavior among married women in reproductive age of southern Tehran.
Methods: In this analytical cross-sectional study, 488 married women in reproductive ages which had attended in health care centers in southern Tehran in 2019. data collecting instrument were three-part questionnaire including demographic information, researcher made questionnaire based on Theory of Planned Behavior and Healthcare Empowerment Questionnaires (HCEQ). Data were analyzed using mean, standard deviation, Pearson correlation coefficient and path analysis using fit indices in the SPSS-24 and AMOS-22.
Results: The mean age of participants was 33.6 ± 7.1. Subjective norm (p<0.001، β=0.18) in comparison to attitude (p<0.001، β=0.62) had greater predictive power for intention behavior. According to the results of path analysis, 30% of the variance of behavioral intention, 0.03 of the variance of decision dimension, 0.02 of the variance of interaction dimension, and 0.05 of the variance of control degree were explained using the model constructs, the study results revealed that the attitude and subjective norm constructs were the best predictors of health care delivery behavior (p<0.001).
Conclusions: The results show that the perceived behavioral control and behavioral intention are not strong predictors of health care empowerment among married women in reproductive age. Other psychological, social, and cultural determinants should be investigated to find the main determinants to improve women’s healthcare empowerment.

Methods: This quasi-experimental study was performed on 60 women with human papillomavirus (30 in the control group and 30 in the intervention group). The subjects were assigned to the control and intervention groups using a random quadruple block. A researcher-made demographic information questionnaire and Rozen (2000) standard female sexual function questionnaire, which were measured before and after the intervention. The educational intervention was performed by holding training classes in two groups of 15 people for 4 sessions a week, one day and for 90 minutes every day. Finally, the data were analyzed using SPSS software version 26.
Results: Based on the results of the present study, the sexual performance of the women before the intervention in the experimental group was 28.4 3 3.6, which reached 30.3 7 5.7 after the educational intervention and the results of the Wilcoxon test. Showed a significant difference in the intervention group (p = 0.001). The results also showed a statistically significant difference between the mean scores of knowledge, control of perceived behavior, behavioral intention and sexual function between the two groups (p = 0.01).
Conclusion: The results of this study show that by using education based on the theory of planned behavior that emphasizes behavior change, sexual function can be improved in women.
