This article is a report of a mixed method to examine the determinants of reproductive health and quality of life among Indian women.
Reproductive health among married women in stressed regions of industrialized countries is an increasingly important consideration, but little is known about the important factors influencing reproductive health and quality of life.
A descriptive correlational research design was used between January and April 2006 with 145 randomly selected married women in a rural mining region of India. The instruments used were the Reproductive Health Index Questionnaire and Interview and Ferrans and Power's Quality of Life Index. Inferential statistics were done using anova and manova. Thematic content analysis was used to analyse qualitative data.
Reproductive health and quality of life was low among Indian women in mining communities. Higher age groups, better economic status, higher age at menarche, fewer number of children, absence of long-term illness, reproductive illness and domestic violence were important determinants of reproductive health and quality of life among these women in mining communities.
The findings suggest that physical, psychological, sexual, family, socio-economic, energy level and cognitive domains of reproductive health and quality of life need to be assessed and are influenced by important determinants among women. These domains reflected in the theory of goal attainment should be an essential part of nursing process for providing women's reproductive health care in the mining community.
本文报告了一项混合方法研究，旨在探讨印度女性生殖健康和生活质量的决定因素。
工业化国家紧张地区已婚女性的生殖健康是一个日益重要的考虑因素，但对于影响生殖健康和生活质量的重要因素知之甚少。
2006 年 1 月至 4 月期间，采用描述性相关研究设计，在印度农村矿区随机选择了 145 名已婚女性。使用的工具是生殖健康指数问卷和访谈以及费朗斯和鲍尔的生活质量指数。使用方差分析和多元方差分析进行推断性统计。使用主题内容分析对定性数据进行分析。
矿区印度女性的生殖健康和生活质量较低。年龄较大、经济状况较好、初潮年龄较高、子女较少、无长期疾病、生殖疾病和家庭暴力的女性，是矿区女性生殖健康和生活质量的重要决定因素。
研究结果表明，生殖健康和生活质量的生理、心理、性、家庭、社会经济、能量水平和认知领域需要进行评估，并受到女性重要决定因素的影响。这些领域反映了目标达成理论，应该成为矿区妇女生殖保健护理的护理过程的重要组成部分。
