Abstract
Background and Objective: Clerics are respected people in the society and have a great impact on society's acceptance in various social aspects; a study aimed at surveying health culture from the view point of clerics focusing on human papillomavirus (HPV) diseases was conducted in 2018.
Methods: The current study was a survey study. A number of questions were developed on the subject and in-depth interviews were conducted with 26 clerics. In this study, all the ethical considerations have been observed and the authors declared no conflict of interests.
Results: The mean age of the study population was 44.6±14.9 years. All the participants were male. The majority of the respondents believed that the lack of cultural education programs was involved in the prevalence of papillomavirus infection and considered the role of cultural programs in raising public awareness related human papillomavirus as important. Modern communication technologies in daily life can be used to change the attitude of young people towards personal health. In the viewpoint of clergies, existence of a cultural problem in relation to the prevention of sexually transmitted diseases is a fundamental problem, the outcome of which is the spread of the disease due to the increasing level of secrecy in society.
Conclusion: Sexually transmitted diseases are a crucial problem and result in diseases in the society. Lack of cultural and educational programs will lead to the higher prevalence of papillomavirus infection. Cultural programs can be very effective in raising public awareness of the dangers of human papillomavirus. The influence of modern communication technologies in daily life could be used to change the attitude of young people toward health.
