Abstract
BACKGROUND: One of the important aspects of health is sexual and reproductive health. Among the target groups for reproductive and sexual health are the middle-aged (30-59). Since 2020, all aspects of life around the world have been affected by the covid-19 disease. In this regard, the health of middle-aged people was also affected. For this purpose, the present study was conducted with the aim of explaining women's experiences of reproductive health care in the middle-aged program (30-59 years old) during the covid-19 epidemic. MATERIALS AND METHOD: This qualitative study was conducted using the content analysis method on middle-aged women (30-59 years old) in 2020. The sampling site of comprehensive health centers of Isfahan province in Iran included Amir Hamzeh, Ibn Sina, Nawab Safavi, and 25 Dastgerd. The selection of participants was based on the purpose, and the sampling continued until data saturation. To collect information, in-depth individual and semi-structured interviews were used. RESULTS: The results of the analysis of the data from the interviews led to the formation of two main classes, which are: the negative effects of the pandemic on the provision of care (including two sub-classes: lack of effective communication between the care provider and clients, negative thoughts), change in the care system (including two subcategories: change in care priorities, new style in providing care). CONCLUSION: Due to the global crisis of the covid-19 disease in the world, the countries that faced this crisis tried to provide the best health and treatment services to the people and have taken important management decisions in order to control the epidemic of the new coronavirus. According to the results of the present study, it is recommended to pay attention to the views of service recipients in order to create the highest efficiency.
