Abstract

Phenomenology seeks to explain the interactions in the processes of human action, the formation of the situation and the construction of reality. One of the basic features of phenomenology is the study of "pure experience", for phenomenologists, humans have a structured consciousness, based on which they categorize and organize data based on their senses. In the phenomenological perspective, humans experience the world in the form of classifications (Iman, 2015: 32). The selection of sample members in this study was based on purposive sampling, and the criteria for selecting the samples under study included "being female" and "disability". Then, taking into account the criterion of "theoretical saturation", the sample size was determined to include 28 participants. The participants in the present study were residents of Khorramabad city in Lorestan province. Data collection for the present study was conducted using a semi-structured interview method, and all interviews were conducted in person and individually. It is important to note that the Maxqda software was used to analyze the findings, and pseudonyms were used to comply with research ethics and participant anonymity.
