Although DIVORCE affects many parts of the society including spouses, children and, families, the entire social life cycle of individuals, the kind of individuals’ EXPERIENCES, based on their gender, Subjectivity in the process, degree of involvement. It may be perceived by the individuals as a positive or a negative experience. Given the differences in DIVORCE men’s EXPERIENCES and the fact that some cultural factors in the Kurdish society reduce woman’s role to an object in the marital life, this study was done to find Kurdish DIVORCEd women’s life experience and to arrive at an understanding of their challenges and growth opportunities. Hermeneutic phenomenological approach was used in this study. The number of participants based on purposive sampling includes 19 DIVORCEd women in the Saqqez city. The theory developed and proposed by Kaslue and Mezirow was used as the framework for organizing the data and through the individual interviews the following themes were derived: 1. the process of DIVORCE; 2. the consequences of DIVORCE; 3. self-perceptions; 4. personal emotions; 5. behavioral reactions to DIVORCE and 6. attitude toward DIVORCE.

Background: DIVORCE is one of the most controversial and damaging social issues. Since the DIVORCE rates are increasing rapidly, the current study evaluated the effects of factors leading to DIVORCE application.Materials and Methods: This qualitative content analysis used purposive sampling to select 10 female DIVORCE applicants at Isfahan Department of Justice (Isfahan, Iran). In-depth interviews were used for data collection. The contents of the interviews were transcribed verbatim and analyzed using a phenomenological method. The reliability and validity, i.e. real values, applicability, stability, and fact-based results, were ensured through relevant measures.Results: Overall, 110 codes were extracted from the interviews. The codes were organized in 18 subthemes and seven main themes. The main themes included EXPERIENCES of violence, cultural factors, family factors, financial factors, safety factors, EXPERIENCES of promiscuity, and social factors.Conclusion: Different individual, social, and cultural factors may lead to DIVORCE. The first step in reducing DIVORCE rates is to identify the most important and influential risk factors for DIVORCE. Community health nurses will then be able to help the families solve their problems. In general, eliminating the causes of DIVORCE can prevent its severe consequences at individual, family, and social levels.

Background & Aims: Due to the effects of DIVORCE and the increase in its rate in society in psychological issues, there is a need to study POST-DIVORCE adjustment and especially emotional self-control among DIVORCEd women and offer existing solutions. DIVORCEd women in Iran, meanwhile, face a number of difficulties in coping with DIVORCE and suffer mainly from poor emotional self-control [5, 6]. Therefore, studies such as the present study, which seeks to examine the perception of DIVORCEd women’ s lived EXPERIENCES of suffering, formulate a treatment based on it, with an integrated medical approach and specifically examine the effectiveness of this treatment on two major problems among DIVORCEd women, namely Adaptation after DIVORCE and emotional self-control seem essential. In addition, due to the fact that women are more afraid of expressing the facts of DIVORCE than men, it is necessary for related research in this field to pay more attention to the problems of DIVORCEd women. Methods: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of monotheistic integrated therapy based on the perception of lived EXPERIENCES of DIVORCEd women on POST-DIVORCE adjustment and emotional autonomy. The present study was performed based on a quasi-experimental design. In this way, the developed treatment package was performed experimentally. Finally, integrated medical treatment based on the perception of DIVORCEd women's lived EXPERIENCES of suffering was performed and based on multivariate analysis of variance, its effect on POST-DIVORCE adjustment and emotional self-control was examined and compared. The statistical population included all DIVORCEd women in Shiraz. In this way, from the DIVORCEd women of Shiraz, 15 people in the experimental group (model-based intervention) and 15 people in the control group (without treatment) were selected from a total of 30 people. Completed by members of experimental and control groups. Then, an integrated medical treatment package based on the perception of DIVORCEd women 's lived EXPERIENCES of suffering was administered to the experimental group, while the control group was not exposed to any intervention. Integrated medical treatment based on perception of lived EXPERIENCES of DIVORCEd women from suffering, at least in terms of one of the dependent variables, reduced the mean of the experimental group compared to the control group in the POST-test phase. Integrated medical treatment based on perception of lived EXPERIENCES of DIVORCEd women from suffering, POST-DIVORCE adjustment is confirmed, as well as integrated medical treatment based on the perception of DIVORCEd women of their EXPERIENCES of suffering, and emotional intelligence. Results: The results of multivariable analysis of variance showed that there was a significant difference between the adjusted mean of emotional intelligence of the two groups in terms of group membership in the POST-test phase, p<0. 05. Also, there is a significant difference between the adjusted mean of emotional intelligence of the two groups in terms of group membership in the follow-up phase, p<0. 05. Therefore, the hypothesis of the effectiveness of integrated medical treatment based on the perception of DIVORCEd women’ s EXPERIENCES of suffering on emotional intelligence was confirmed. This finding is inconsistent with research that measures the effect of other psychotherapies on emotional intelligence, such as the effect of metacognitive therapy, co-existent writing, and with studies such as the effectiveness of writing on emotional intelligence. Integrated medical treatment aims to increase self-control by developing adaptive habits and increasing self-acceptance and self-confidence. In other words, this treatment improves the individual's adjustment by changing the individual's behaviors and helping to create compromised behaviors to resolve POST-DIVORCE conflicts. Conclusion: Some of the limitations of the study are: the use of available samples due to reduced possibility of generalization of results, failure to compare integrated medical treatment based on lived experience of DIVORCEd women with other valid psychotherapies to determine more effective treatment, lack of frequent follow-up and For more than a month, to evaluate the effectiveness of treatment over time, the lack of current research among men after the experience of DIVORCE and the lack of effectiveness of integrated medical treatment based on the lived experience of DIVORCEd women suffering from other psychological problems in DIVORCEd women [8]. Considering the above, it is suggested: Considering the effectiveness of integrated medical treatment based on the lived experience of DIVORCEd women suffering from psychotherapists and DIVORCE counselors, it is recommended to use this treatment to increase the adaptation of DIVORCEd women, according to the lived experience. With the suffering of DIVORCEd women to those involved in the field of DIVORCE, it is suggested to increase the productivity of DIVORCEd women from mental health services, according to the lived experience with the suffering of DIVORCEd women, especially in social dimensions to those involved in the field of DIVORCE Provide the necessary social support to DIVORCEd women, and numerous economic pressures on DIVORCEd women and difficulty in earning a living are among the important psychological stresses of women after experiencing DIVORCE, so it is recommended to those involved in the field of DIVORCE in the field Entrepreneurship and providing for the daily affairs of DIVORCEd women and their children in the economic dimension.

Introduction: DIVORCE rate has been growing in recent years in Iran, resulting in an increase in the number of women and men involved with the POST-DIVORCE consequences. In the last five years, more than 800, 000 DIVORCEs have taken place in Iran, meaning more than one and a half million men and women underwent DIVORCE. A brief look at the literature of this field shows that despite the importance of the family system and the damage caused by DIVORCE, there has been little sociological research in Iran on this issue with the adoption of qualitative approaches, and the few existing researches, all of which have used quantitative approaches, generally focus on negative effects of DIVORCE on children, and little research has been conducted on the effects of DIVORCE on the life of DIVORCEd men and women. Thus, the study of how DIVORCEd subjects encounter the consequences of DIVORCE and the ways in which they rebuild their lives after DIVORCE is a commonly neglected domain in Iranian sociology. The purpose of this study is to investigate the typology of life reconstruction patterns of POST-DIVORCE life.

Purpose: In Iranian culture, DIVORCE is considered to be an undesirable phenomenon that brings with it a lot of consequences and serious challenges and concerns for people, especially women. In order to deal with the phenomenon of DIVORCE and the subsequent stigma, DIVORCEd women often have to consider coping strategies. The aim of the present study is to clarify the coping strategies of women after DIVORCE. Methods: The present qualitative study was conducted using thematic analysis through semi-structured interviews, with 21 DIVORCEd women living in the city of Baneh, Iran. Purposive sampling was used and the data collection process continued until data saturation was achieved. Results: The analysis of qualitative data revealed two types of strategies which included adaptable and maladaptive strategies of coping with conditions after DIVORCE. Discussion: The results of the present study revealed that the use of coping strategies among DIVORCEd women is different depending on the personal ability, family and social support, and social capital at their disposal. Identifying strategies used by women to deal with conditions of DIVORCE would give a more comprehensive understanding of their needs. Accordingly, empowering DIVORCEd women, teaching them coping strategies, strengthening family support, and providing social opportunities are some measures that results in the enhancement of the coping strategies of DIVORCEd women in POSTDIVORCE situation.

Despites the many efforts for controlling and reducing DIVORCE in Iran, the rates are growing and the number of families who have experienced a DIVORCE is increasingly rising. The ‘POST-DIVORCE life’, an matter of trivial interest in the past, has now turned into a serious issue for family sociologists. Research findings suggest that DIVORCE often has more negative consequences for women, one of which is identity challenges. The present study employed a qualitative approach and used semi-structured in-depth interviews with 18 women to investigate women’s POST-DIVORCE identity challenges and how they redefined ‘self’ and build ‘identity’ after DIVORCE. “Self” is a key concept in theorizing one’s being and nature, and gives the person the ability to portray her identity. The results showed that, on the event of a DIVORCE, many changes occurred to the image and the understanding that a women had from her inner and outer self. The results also suggested that the main areas in which the women had redefined their identity were new roles, new lifestyles, new relationships, and ontological and psychological safety. Moreover, background variables including present age, age at DIVORCE, social class, occupational status, length of marriage, having or not having children, and a traditional or modern set of habitus influenced how women dealt with POST-DIVORCE identity changes and self-redefining.

Background: POST-DIVORCE regret is a context-based phenomenon and in every community it is affected by the personal, social and cultural factors of that community. This study was conducted to investigate the POST-DIVORCE regret among Iranian women. Methods: This qualitative content analysis study was conducted from November 2015 to December 2017 in Tehran. 15 DIVORCEd women were selected through purposeful and snowball sampling. The data were collected through in-depth individual semi-structured interviews. Interview with participant no. 13 was conducted in two sessions (not having enough time for a long interview). Data were analyzed using Graneheim and Lundman’ s proposed method. The MAXQDA 10 software was used for the management of data. Results: Four main categories and 12 subcategories of data were extracted. The main categories and their subcategories were identity threat (stigma, becoming a sex object, discrimination), loss of independence (economic dependence, lack of independence in choosing a place to live, being controlled), vague future (concerns about children’ s future, little chance of having an appropriate remarriage, fear of loneliness) and the absence of the husband and his role (emotional and sexual needs, children’ s need for their father, need for a supporter and security). Conclusion: The findings of this study showed that many of the participants had got involved in multiple social, economic and support problems after DIVORCE. Most of the participants were not able to adjust to life after their DIVORCE and consequently regretted their decision to DIVORCE. Therefore, it is necessary to provide the appropriate social and economic support for these women based on the culture of the society.

Parenting after DIVORCE is one of the most sensitive tasks for DIVORCEd parents and is one of the effective factors in children's mental health. The purpose of this study is to explore and explain parents' lived EXPERIENCES of co-parenting after DIVORCE. This study was performed qualitatively using Descriptive phenomenology method. The study population included all parents who had parenting experience after DIVORCE. In this study, data saturation criterion was used to determine the sample size. Using purposive sampling, 12 people (female, male) were selected and interviewed semi-structured. Data were analyzed by Colaizzi seven-step method. The results of the analysis led to the identification of five main themes: The relationship between parents, accountability, supervision, parental challenges and Social-psychological harms in parenting. Parents focused on eliminating the other coparent as a parental figure – just as their role as a spouse was eliminated after DIVORCE-rather than concentrating on the task of parenting.

Background: Rationality is a complex concept that plays a vital role in human choices and decisions. However, this issue has been less addressed in studies on marital life. Objectives: This study was performed to explain the EXPERIENCES of Iranian women on the verge of DIVORCE regarding rationality. Methods: According to the five-stage Granheim and Landman's approach, an inductive conventional qualitative content analysis was used to collect and analyze women's EXPERIENCES on the verge of DIVORCE. Seventeen women selected through purposive sampling entered the study, and qualitative information was collected using unstructured and semi-structured interviews. Information collection and analysis proceeded simultaneously. The information was saturated with 17 participants, and no new information was extracted. In this study, Lincoln and Guba's criteria were used to ensure the robustness of the study. Results: After information analysis, two main themes were derived. Limited rationality in marriage was the first one with three main categories: Lack of intellectual preparedness for marital life, irrational marriage decision-making, and unrealistic positive thinking. Lack of marital issues understanding was the second one, categorized into reality shock and negative cognitive-emotional EXPERIENCES. Conclusions: This qualitative study showed that limited rationality plays a vital role in the lives of women on the verge of DIVORCE. However, learning skills, such as deep thinking and realistic thinking, can help women overcome limitations toward rationality and lack of marital issues understanding.
