Many rural health resources are linked to community churches, which are often well attended, especially by rural women. We used interpretive phenomenology and the photovoice method to understand how the church influenced health promotion for rural women, whose health is often significantly compromised compared with the health of urban women. Our analysis of the data from individual interviews, group sessions, photographs, and logbooks suggested that the rural church significantly facilitated rural women's health promotion. The church supported the physical, intellectual, emotional, and spiritual health of rural women, facilitated social connectedness, and provided healthful opportunities to give and to receive. Implications included reframing religious places as health-promoting and socially inclusive places for rural women.
许多农村卫生资源与社区教堂相关联，这些教堂通常有很多人参加，尤其是农村妇女。我们采用解释现象学和摄影声音方法来了解教堂如何影响农村妇女的健康促进，与城市妇女的健康相比，农村妇女的健康常常受到严重损害。我们对来自个人访谈、小组讨论、照片和日志的数据进行分析后发现，农村教堂极大地促进了农村妇女的健康促进。教堂支持农村妇女的身体、智力、情感和精神健康，促进社会联系，并提供给予和接受的健康机会。其意义包括将宗教场所重新界定为促进农村妇女健康和具有社会包容性的场所。
