The elderly are one of the target groups of social workers.The experience of aging, from the point of view of the elderly, on the one hand reveals the facts that are hidden to us and on the other hand provides us with a deep, inclusive and meaningful understanding of the socio-cultural status of aging in society. On this basis, a deeper understanding of the issues and needs and challenges that the elderly face is essential to adopt and develop appropriate programs to achieve dynamic and health-centric agingThis study is a qualitative study using phenomenological approach to study the life experience of elderly people in Isfahan.

The present study tries to identify the concept of family in the lived experiences of divorced applicants, using a qualitative method of Foundation data. The aim of this study was to gain an understanding of the life experience of divorce applicants and to discover and extract models from these experiences and to map the relevant paradigms, including the interrelationships between conditions (structure), action (process), and consequences. Data obtained through in-depth and semi-structured interviews with divorce applicants of the Karaj Family Court. The study reached theoretical saturation through the purposive sampling method with a sample size of 9 spouses (n = 18). The data were analyzed through the Strauss & Corbin method in three stages of open, axial and selective coding. The findings show that the causal conditions are the family ideological and structural tyans formation, the family evolution, the cultural problems, and economic problems. The basis conditions include family disorder, the lack of the state interactions, having the tool interaction and neglect to the religion outcome dimension. Intervention conditions are composed of the lack of life skill, the incorrect culture of the modern technology use and the lack of the separation of the family public and private scope. The consequences are of three main categories: the inevitability of divorce, the consequences of divorce, and the loss of family support. The results of the research showed that the phenomenon or category of the family concept in the living experience of divorce applicants is the unbalanced development of the family. As a result, unbalanced family development is largely eliminated by life skills training and social support.
