Abstract

Introduction: The family plays a crucial role in shaping children's identity and understanding of gender-based roles. This study aims to explore the experiences of Iranian transgender individuals with their families' reactions to their transgender identity disclosure.

Methods: In 2018, nurse researchers conducted this qualitative study on 11 transgender individuals in Iran using a phenomenological approach, targeted and snowball sampling, and Colaizzi's seven-step method for data analysis. Rigor was ensured by adhering to Lincoln and Guba's standards.

Results: The study found varied reactions to transgender children among Iranian families, including abuse to avoid stigma. The study revealed two main themes, maladaptive and adaptive reactions, and identified six categories: denial of reality, mourning, coercion, deprivation, support out of necessity, and compromise of family reactions.

Discussion: Education and support systems may help address the cultural challenges that face families with transgender children. The findings offer insights for enhancing public awareness of the transgender community in conservative cultures.

了解伊朗文化中家庭对变性儿童的反应：定性研究。

引言家庭在塑造儿童的身份和理解性别角色方面起着至关重要的作用。本研究旨在探讨伊朗变性人的经历，以及他们的家人对其变性身份披露的反应：2018 年，护士研究人员对伊朗的 11 名跨性别者进行了这项定性研究，采用了现象学方法、有针对性的雪球取样和 Colaizzi 的七步法进行数据分析。研究遵循了林肯和古巴的标准，确保了研究的严谨性：研究发现，伊朗家庭对变性儿童的反应各不相同，包括为避免耻辱而虐待。研究揭示了两大主题，即适应不良和适应性反应，并确定了六个类别：否认现实、哀悼、强迫、剥夺、出于必要的支持以及家庭反应的妥协：讨论：教育和支持系统可能有助于应对变性儿童家庭所面临的文化挑战。研究结果为在保守文化中提高公众对变性群体的认识提供了启示。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
