Abstract

This research aims to better understand the experiences of Jewish National Religious women who suffer from vestibulodynia, a medical condition characterized by pain during sexual intercourse. The study explores the distinctive challenges of these women, as they navigate the tension between expressions of sexuality in modern secular Western culture and that of religious Jewish Halacha. The study delves into perceptions of sexuality, religion, culture, and identity as effected by vestibulodynia. This qualitative research involved interviews with 15 married National Religious women aged 21-38 diagnosed with vestibulodynia. The study yielded four central themes: Isolation vs. Community; Recognition Within the Medical System; The Multifaceted Aspects of Female Identity; From Crisis to Growth. The research highlights the implications vestibulodynia can have on women coping with it, reflecting in reduced self- esteem, and challenges in female identity and the identity as a whole, in intimate relationships, and in family and cultural life. the study stresses the important role the partners have in coping with vestibulodynia. The research emphasizes the importance of culturally sensitive care needed in women's health care services. It further stresses the positive impact of belonging to peers and the importance of open communication regarding sexuality, even in orthodox communities.

前庭痛的应对及其对犹太民族宗教妇女身份认同的影响。
这项研究旨在更好地了解患有前庭痛的犹太民族宗教妇女的经历,前庭痛是一种以性交疼痛为特征的医学病症。这项研究探讨了这些女性面临的独特挑战,因为她们在现代世俗西方文化中的性表达与宗教犹太Halacha之间的紧张关系中游刃有方向。这项研究深入研究了前庭痛对性、宗教、文化和身份的影响。本定性研究访谈了15位年龄在21-38岁的已婚民族宗教女性,她们被诊断患有前庭痛症。该研究产生了四个中心主题:隔离vs.社区;医疗系统内的认知;女性身份认同的多面性研究从危机到增长。这项研究强调了前庭痛对女性应对前庭痛的影响,反映了自尊心的降低,以及女性身份和整体身份、亲密关系、家庭和文化生活中的挑战。该研究强调了伴侣在应对前庭痛症方面的重要作用。该研究强调了妇女保健服务中需要的文化敏感护理的重要性。它进一步强调同辈的积极影响,以及公开交流性行为的重要性,即使在正统社区也是如此。
