The research tool was the coding sheets according to the researcher’s guidelines, the validity of which was confirmed by the members of the research group, and its reliability was calculated using the P-Scott criterion (agreement coefficient between coders) of 0.95. Qualitative results in the form of 28 categories, 165 conceptual codes and 218 items in the heart of the 6 dimensions of the paradigm model in the form of causal conditions (6 categories, 38 concepts and 43 items), the main and central phenomenon (4 categories, 12 concepts and 21 items), strategies (3 categories, 28 concepts and 45 items), background conditions (6 categories, 32 concepts and 37 items), intervening or mediating conditions (5 categories, 23 concepts and 30 items), and consequences (4 categories, 32 concepts and 42 items) ), took place.
