This paper aims to clarify the concept of perceived health from the perspective of rural adults in China.
Walker and Avant's concept analysis was applied.
Perceived health from rural adults in China is a subjective assessment of their health status, which is deeply affected by Chinese traditional culture and being in a rural environment.
Most rural adults in China could perceive their health as good or poor, however, rural areas have disadvantages in health care, geographical location, and educational resources compared with urban counterparts, which may lead to some unscientific health attitudes and lifestyles and hinder their healthcare-seeking behaviors.
To help nurses understand better the concept of perceived health with the rural background, which is different from urban areas. Perceived health provides rich information resources for nurses to carry out holistic care, and to lead rural adults in China to form a correct and positive attitude and lifestyle as possible.
本文旨在从中国农村成年人的角度澄清感知健康的概念。
采用沃克和奥凡特的概念分析。
中国农村成年人的感知健康是对其健康状况的主观评估，深受中国传统文化和农村环境的影响。
中国大多数农村成年人可能会将自己的健康状况感知为良好或较差，然而，与城市相比，农村地区在医疗保健、地理位置和教育资源方面存在劣势，这可能导致一些不科学的健康态度和生活方式，并阻碍他们的就医行为。
帮助护士更好地理解具有农村背景的感知健康概念，与城市地区不同。感知健康为护士提供了丰富的信息资源，以开展整体护理，并引导中国农村成年人尽可能形成正确和积极的态度和生活方式。
