Abstract: Few studies have examined Muslim women’s perceptions of barriers and the possibilities they face in cervical cancer care. The purpose of this study was to explore the attitudes from the perspective of Thai women of their experience of reproductive health in cervical cancer care. A qualitative methodology was chosen, and open-ended interviews were carried out with ten Muslim women. The interviews were audio recorded and transcribed verbatim; thereafter, a manifest content analysis was carried out. Three main themes connected to the aim of the study were found: "Personal construction of health care providers," "Understanding reproductive health" and "Culturally congruent context of reproductive health". The most prominent findings in this study are health care providers adapted to be developing holistic care intervention consisting of improved nursing care for reproductive health, meaningful relationship care and social relative of reproductive health. Furthermore, this finding might be possible to be transferred and considered in Muslim women similar settings. Health care providers should also concern cultural care that is available with her husband in support of reproductive health care among Thai Muslim women.
