The sharing - based hope discourse model

Background: Hope in life is a futuristic indicator with a positive effect on health and well-being. Regarding the current tense situation resulting from the psychological, social and economic pressures of COVID-19, there is an urgent need to provide a local and comprehensive model of the hope discourse. Considering the fact that sharing is a native model derived from Islamic ontology, therefore, the present study seeks to answer the question of what is the sharing-based hope discourse model. Aims: The present study aims at identifying the sharing-based hope discourse model. Methods: The present research was conducted with a qualitative approach and an interpretive paradigm. Participants comprised 16 mothers married for 10-25 years with at least two children who were selected through purposive sampling. In-depth interviews were used to collect data (Potter, 2012). Data analysis was performed using discourse analysis and identification of key themes (Jorgensen and Phillips 2002). Results: In analyzing the data obtained from interviewing sharing people, 33 sub-themes and 17 main themes were extracted in hope discourse, ultimately leading to the identification of 6 themes, namely, narrative, cognitive, emotional, behavioral, communication and time themes in hope discourse. Conclusion: The sharing-based hope discourse expressed positive and coherent narratives, positive emotion, positive cognitive perception with mindfulness and transcendental thinking, action-orientation, developmentalism, being communicative and positive and purposeful vision in the hopeful sharing person. Recognizing the effective factors in this discourse lays the groundwork for increasing hope and prosperity of the individual, family and society.
