The aim of this study was to explore and describe the psychosocial well-being experiences of a South African rural community. The study employed a qualitative explorative-descriptive research design in which participants (n = 20) were sampled through purposive sampling and participated in a world café session. Data were analyzed thematically. The findings identify three main themes with subthemes, namely contributing factors to psychosocial well-being (such as spirituality/religion and community cohesion), hindering factors to psychosocial well-being (such as crime and unemployment), and means to promote psychosocial well-being (such as provision of infrastructure). The findings provide insight into the psychosocial well-being experiences of an understudied and vulnerable South African rural community and makes recommendations for future research.
本研究的目的是探索和描述一个南非农村社区的心理社会幸福感体验。该研究采用了定性探索性描述性研究设计，通过目的抽样选取参与者（n = 20），并让他们参与了一场世界咖啡馆活动。对数据进行了主题分析。研究结果确定了三个主要主题及子主题，即心理社会幸福感的促成因素（如灵性/宗教和社区凝聚力）、心理社会幸福感的阻碍因素（如犯罪和失业）以及促进心理社会幸福感的方式（如提供基础设施）。研究结果为一个研究不足且脆弱的南非农村社区的心理社会幸福感体验提供了见解，并为未来研究提出了建议。
