Journal Title: مجله تحقیقات کیفی در علوم سلامت - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 4

Abstract

Introduction: Our society is facing the increasing changes of agreement-based collapse of marriages and agreement-based divorce. Therefore, the study and recognition of issues regarding this phenomenon is an inevitable necessity. Thus, this study aims to investigate the experiences of individuals regarding this phenomenon. Method: This qualitative study was conducted through phenomenological method. The participants of this study were chosen using purposive sampling from among divorced individuals who had experienced agreement-based divorce in Sirjan, Iran (n = 21). The main method of data collection was unstructured and in-depth interviews. Data were analyzed through Colaizzi’s method. Results: The main themes of collaborative variables (with sub-themes of social networks and marriage interactions), and individual agency (with sub-themes of lack of consequential understanding and individuation) were extracted. Conclusion: By describing the determining elements of agreement-based divorce, this study gave us a new understanding of individuals’ experiences regarding this phenomenon. The cause of this phenomenon, in addition to stereotypical elements, can be attributed to factors such as interactions before marriage and lack of correct understanding of sexual intercourse. Based on the findings, this study offered some suggestions for planning and programming in this regard
