| Research Abstract |
This study aimed to explore factors related to mental health of rural women from the perspective of personal resources inherent in individuals and social and cultural resources within the community; and to discuss the development of mental health supportin resource-poor communities. Factors related to mental health include physical health status, individual coping skills, agricultural productivity, intragenerational and intergenerational relations in the community, and community trust and cohesiveness. A collaborative interactive approach to utilize and enhance individual coping skills and community intragenerational and intergenerational relations is indicated as an important factor in developing mental health support.
