Abstract
Adapting to the divorce of parents is one of the challenges that the children of divorce face, the absence of which can cause adverse consequences for the children of divorce and the society. The current research was conducted with the aim of qualitatively studying the process of children's adaptation to parents' divorce, in 1401 using the grounded theory method. The participants of the research are children of divorced girls living in Tehran who were between 20 and 30 years old and at least 5 years have passed since their parents' divorce. The findings from the semi-structured interview with 12 participants were based on the principle of theoretical saturation, and the findings were analyzed using the Strauss and Corbin method. Analyzing the data obtained from the interview in the field of qualitative study of the process of children's adaptation to parental divorce, led to the identification of 11 core codes of "resilience", "support networks", "favorable economic situation", "quality of parenting", "acceptance of divorce by parents","getting away from stressful situations","environmental and peripheral factors", "effective coping", "maintaining dynamism", "cognitive reframing", "growth after trauma" and "active self-care" were selected. The results of this research, while increasing insight into the process of adapting to parental divorce, provide sufficient ground for developing educational and practical programs with the aim of increasing adaptation to parental divorce and can greatly reduce the harm caused by parental divorce.
