Abstract
Background and Objective: Religion is an important part of culture and the most important factor influencing the behavior and actions of individuals. Today, with globalization, the growth of technology and rationality, the way of thinking about the world, religion and related values has changed, and rationality has provided the basis for differences in the views. Hijab is one of the essential precepts of the religion that is different in different divine religions such as Zoroastrianism, Judaism and Christianity. In the world of the West and the East, hijab has created many challenges with its many pros and cons. The present study tries to investigate female students’ attitude towards the type of clothing and its relationship with religious beliefs in the Shahrekord University of Medical Sciences in 2018.
Methods: The present study is a cross-sectional descriptive-analytical study. The sample population included students of Shahrekord University of Medical Sciences, out of whom 360 from different faculties were selected by simple random sampling and administered two questionnaires related to attitude to the type of student clothing and assessment of religious beliefs. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze the data. In this study, all the ethical considerations were observed and the authors declared no conflict of interest.
Results: The results showed that out of the 360 participants, 313 were single and 47 were married. Mean and standard deviation were (3.49±0.72) for students' religious participation, (3.89±0.74) for adherence to beliefs, (4.16±0.86) for observance of religious issues and (3.85±0.58) for total religious beliefs. Also, observance of religious issues and the status of students’ hijab were significantly correlated with the increase in students' academic semesters (P<0.05). Attitude toward the type of clothing and the level of religious beliefs of the female students was also significantly correlated with their field of study (P<0.05).
Conclusion: The results point to the conclusion that in addition to improving the academic level of students, university has also played its role as a scientific, cultural, and social institution based on the beliefs and religious behavior of officials and professors.
