Objectives Human papillomavirus is one of the most important causes of cervical cancer. Participating in an HPV test and receiving an HPV diagnosis can create questions about the needs and preferences. The present systematic review was conducted to determine the reproductive health needs of women with HPV. Methods We searched PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Google Scholar and Magiran, SID and Iranmedex. Without language restrictions and time constraints. We also searched the grey literature and carried out forward/backward citation searches. Results In the first, 1056 articles were retrieved, and, after removing them, 13 articles published were entered. The studies were qualitative (N = 9), quantitative (N = 3), and one was unclear. Most qualitative studies collected data using individual interviews (N = 7), two qualitative studies, narratives of HPV patients from a website of patient experiences and questions. Women wanted further information on different HPV viral types, transmission, implications for sexual partners, prevalence, latency and regression of HPV, their management options and the implications of infection for cancer risk and fertility. Women’s experience of searching the Internet for further information about HPV was reported as difficult, anxiety provoking and contributing to the stigma of the infection because information was often located in the context of other sexually transmitted infections, with multiple sexual partners highlighted as a risk factor for infection. Conclusion Surveys showed that the majority of women had unanswered questions about their HPV test results. The information that women thought was helpful in interpreting their test results included having a high-risk type of HPV, and cancer survival statistics for the virus. Women also needed information about sexual transmission, how HPV tested positive in a long-term relationship, and the potential consequences for their partners and the risk of re-infection. Younger women had questions about whether HPV could affect fertility.

Introduction People with human papiloma virus (HPV) struggle with numerous challenges and needs in physical, psychological aspects of quality of life in relation to this virus. Various studies have recommended counseling interventions to improve these people’s quality of life. Also, there is a need for standardized and normalized instruments in Iran to evaluate the effect of educational and therapeutic interventions on these patients’ quality of life. Therefore, this study was conducted in gynecologic cancer clinics in Kerman to investigate the psychometric properties of the Persian version of the “quality of life of women infected with HPV questionnaire”. Methods This study was a cross-sectional study including 580 women infected with HPV referred to Kerman’s gynecologic cancer clinics. The samples were selected using convenience sampling in 2023. The content validity, face validity, and construct validity using explanatory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) were evaluated. Results The results of the content validity assessment, which included the Content Validity Index (CVI) and Content Validity Ratio (CVR), indicated strong content validity. Additionally, face validity, confirmed qualitatively, further supports these findings. The results of the EFA revealed that the Persian version of the quality of life questionnaire, with 34 items remaining from the 54 items, has a 6-factor structure. These 6 factors showed a 56.7% variance and were confirmed using confirmatory factor analysis using robust root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA = 0.054), comparative fit index (CFI = 0.928), and Tucker-Lewis index (TLI = 0.920). The content validity results showed that all the items had a good validity ratio and index. The Cronbach’s alpha and Raykov’s rho were above 0.7 for all the dimensions. Conclusion The findings depicted that the Persian version of the “quality of life of women infected with HPV questionnaire ” had acceptable validity and reliability and can be utilized to measure these people’s quality of life and conduct psychological studies.

In women undergoing cervical screening, it is important to be aware of ways to reduce anxiety. The present systematic review conducted to determine the reproductive health needs of women with HPV. Methods: In this systematic review, articles without time constraints searched in PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Google Scholar and Iranian Magiran, SID and Iranmedex. Keywords used: HPV, Information, Want, Need, Know, etc. and their Persian equivalents in the title and abstract of the articles. Papers after identification by two researchers Contradictions evaluated and discussed with the third author. Results: At first 1056articles retrieved which after removing,13articles published between2004-2021were entered. The studies were qualitative(N=9),quantitative(N=3), and one was unclear.Most qualitative studies collected data using individual interviews(N=7), two qualitative studies, narratives of HPV patients from a website of patient experiences and questions. The quality evaluation showed that good=8, Average=2, and one was of poor. There is not enough information about Friedman AL etal and Garland SM articles to check the quality, but since these studies were valuable, they included in the study according to the opinion of the research team. Conclusion: Surveys showed that the majority of women had unanswered questions about their HPV test results. The information that women thought was helpful in interpreting their test results included having a high-risk type of HPV, the risk of short-term and long-term cancer, and cancer survival statistics for the virus.
