Community-based nurse researchers strive to develop collaborative partnerships that are meaningful to the health priorities of participants and relevant to their sociopolitical realities. Within the context of global inequity, intersecting forces of privilege and oppression inevitably shape the research process, resulting in tensions, contradictions, and challenges that must be addressed. This article has 3 purposes: to examine the political context of mining corporations, to describe common health threats and challenges faced by mining-affected communities, and to reflect on research with a mining-affected Indigenous community in Guatemala whose health and capacity for self-advocacy are impacted by a legacy of colonialism. Using an anti-colonial lens, the authors discuss 3 central tensions: community agency and community victimhood, common ground and distinct identities, and commitment to outcomes and awareness of limitations. They conclude by offering methodological suggestions for nurse researchers whose work is grounded in anti-colonial perspectives.
以社区为基础的护士研究人员努力建立对参与者的健康优先事项有意义且与其社会政治现实相关的合作关系。在全球不平等的背景下，特权和压迫的交叉力量不可避免地塑造了研究过程，导致了必须解决的紧张关系、矛盾和挑战。本文有三个目的：审视矿业公司的政治背景，描述受采矿影响社区面临的常见健康威胁和挑战，并反思对危地马拉一个受采矿影响的原住民社区的研究，该社区的健康和自我倡导能力受到殖民主义遗留问题的影响。作者运用反殖民视角，讨论了三个核心紧张关系：社区能动性与社区受害者身份、共同点与独特身份，以及对结果的承诺与对局限性的认识。他们最后为以反殖民视角开展工作的护士研究人员提供了方法建议。
