Rural India Women's Perception Of Health, Kaye Wilson-Anderson

Faculty Publications - College of Nursing

This qualitative, descriptive, phenomenological study explored how southern, rural women in India ( N = 14) view health, how they learned about health, and what health education they desired. Health education classes were offered, based on participants’ responses. Recommendations are offered for a best practice model that could potentially enhance the efforts of non-Indian nurses desiring to assist impoverished women and families in India.
