Abstract
Introduction: Poverty is considered as a horrifying and life-threatening phenomenon as well as a multifaceted process stemmed from social interactions, political structures, socioeconomic strategies, and performance of individuals and groups. Therefore, addressing the issue of poverty as well as its associated causes and factors can be regarded as one of the most important roles of governments.
Method: This research is a qualitative study using theme analysis method. Participants included 17 family social workers of Imam Khomeini Relief Foundation (IKRF) in Fars Province and professors of relevant fields working at universities in the city of Shiraz who were selected using a purposive sampling method. The required data were also collected through semi-structured interviews and then analyzed via continuous comparison methods.
Findings: The results of this study led to 14 sub-themes and six main themes as the significant factors affecting the incidence of poverty. The main themes included “Factors related to head of the family: (wrongdoer and unwanted person)”, “Factors related to family: (controllable and uncontrollable)”, “Factors related to governance: (political, legal, citizenship services, and administration of governmental organizations)”, “Cultural factors: (social and belief-related) “Geographical factors: (climate and natural resources)”, and “Economic factors: (internal and external)”.
Discussion: A variety of factors are involved in the incidence of poverty, so it cannot be merely reduced through emphasis on one or more factors. Thus, managing poverty in a society requires identifying all factors contributing to its incidence, categorizing these factors in an acceptable and meaningful manner, and also doing integrated and comprehensive planning to overcome them.

Abstract
Introduction: A person may have the characteristics of a gender from a biological point of view, but he does not consider himself to belong to that gender from the psychological point of view. This phenomenon is called transsexuality. These people experience a series of tensions and pressures in different dimensions on the path of dissatisfaction with their gender and its roles. The tertiary education period, due to the sensitivities of the transitional period and the transition of students from the borders of maturity and personal independence, is always a period full of tensions and stresses that students experience. The complexity of the situation for transsexual students is twofold. The purpose of this research is to analyze the psycho-social processes of transsexual students in Tehran University.
Method: The present research is a qualitative type of grounded theory, which was carried out in the academic years of 2017 and 2018. The data of the current research has been collected using semi-structured individual interviews. Participants studied in this research were eight male-to-female transgender students (MtF). The current research was conducted using purposeful sampling, which was based on theoretical saturation interviews.
Findings: The feeling of isolation, rejection, and discrimination in different dimensions and attempts to self-harm are the dominant states experienced by these people, and finally, the awareness of the possibility of change and being on the path of treatment can be helpful in terms of quality and hope of life, and it can also help transgender people improve their social relations. In the path of these changes and developments, the type of interactions of such people considering family-social support are among the most important challenges related to these people.
Discussion: According to the discussed topics, the concerns of transsexual students in the context of academic environments are of great importance. Paying attention to the sensitivities related to gender, age, and the gender of these students during Psycho-social Processes can be effective and practical in supporting the policies.
