Abstract:   (106 Views)
The transition to parenthood introduces new tasks for spouses, which can be especially challenging when occurring at an advanced age. This study aimed to explore the lived experiences of women aged 35 and older, specifically focusing on the challenges of transitioning to parenthood. Employing a qualitative approach with a phenomenological perspective, the research included women in Arak city in 1401 who were 35 years or older, experiencing motherhood for the first time, and with children under two years old. A targeted sample of 10 individuals was selected, and the sampling process continued until data saturation was achieved. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and analyzed using Claysey's method. Following data analysis, 23 sub-themes and 6 main themes emerged, encompassing challenges related to pregnancy and childbirth safety concerns, stress stemming from infertility treatment, psychological pressures, financial strains, social concerns, inflexibility, and difficulties adapting to changes. A central theme encapsulated the overall essence of the participants' experiences. The research findings not only provide insight and awareness into the challenges faced by mothers over the age of 35 but also offer valuable input for planning interventions to address the specific problems and challenges encountered by this group of mothers.
