A critical exploration of the concept of faith-based health promotion in Scotland : a mixed-methods study

Fagan, Donna Marie January 2009 (has links)
<p class="Abstract">Objectives: To establish existing evidence about church-based health promotion in Scotland; to explore the perceptions and attitudes concerning church-based health promotion from faith leaders, churchmen and women, health professionals and community members in Dundee, Scotland; and to establish the level to which health promoting activities currently occur in and are organised by places of worship in Dundee. <p class="Abstract">A mixed-methods approach utilised a grounded theory methodology to generate and analyse data arising from 43 semi-structured interviews with various stakeholders that comprised three cohorts: health promotion professionals (n=9), representatives of Christian and non-Christian faith communities (n=24), and community members ≥ 50 years (n=10).&nbsp; In addition, one focus group (n=4) was conducted, and a self-administered questionnaire was distributed to representatives of all faith communities in Dundee (response rate 70%, n=71). <p class="Abstract">The majority of participants in all cohorts expressed an interest in the concept of church-based health promotion and could readily envision its application in their area of work. Representatives of most faith communities identified multiple physical and volunteer assets, as well as social supports that could be directed toward healthy living activities.&nbsp; However, in spite of many obvious positive elements,&nbsp; health promotion experts and church leaders had&nbsp; not previously recognised the potential for places of worship to become community ‘settings’ for health promotion.&nbsp; A number of interviewees proposed that this was due to communication limitations and misconceptions that have created barriers to developing working relationships.&nbsp; It was apparent to most interviewees that church-based health promotion could both increase capacity in community health development and expand current faith ministries.

AgronegÃcio cercando agroecologia: modo de vida e conflito sÃcio-ambiental em comunidades agrÃcolas de Tabuleiro de Russas, CearÃ. / Agribusiness surrouding agroecology: way of life and environmental and social conflict in agricultural communities tabuleiro de Russas, CearÃ.

O objetivo desta pesquisa à compreender como comunidades agrÃcolas Lagoa dos Cavalos, Junco, BarbatÃo e CÃrrego Salgado, municÃpio de Russas, CearÃ, tÃm construÃdo alternativas ao desenvolvimento em defesa de seu modo de vida e como estratÃgia de resistÃncia à expansÃo do agronegÃcio na subbacia do Baixo Jaguaribe. O marco referencial se concentra nas categorias analÃticas âideologia do desenvolvimentoâ (Rigotto, 2008), âalternativas ao desenvolvimentoâ (Santos, 2005), âagroecologiaâ (Altieri, 2009) e âconflito socioambientalâ (Acselrad, 2004.). A abordagem metodolÃgica encontra-se na hermenÃutica de profundidade de Thompson (1996), perpassando por mÃtodos etnogrÃficos da observaÃÃo participante (Malinowsky, 1984) e da descriÃÃo densa (Geertz, 1989). Como resultados da descriÃÃo do modo de vida agrÃcola tradicional das comunidades Lagoa dos Cavalos, Junco, BarbatÃo e CÃrrego Salgado, desvelamos o processo sÃcio-histÃrico na construÃÃo de alternativas de convivÃncia com o semiÃrido; caracterizaÃÃo da agrobiodiversidade e sua inter-relaÃÃo com os processos de trabalho na agricultura familiar e na apicultura; o potencial da organizaÃÃo comunitÃria e da transiÃÃo agroecolÃgica na promoÃÃo da saÃde no campo. Em relaÃÃo à caracterizaÃÃo do conflito socioambiental entre comunidades agrÃcolas e o ÃrgÃo governamental DNOCS, desvelamos as tramas do conflito entre o modelo de produÃÃo do agronegÃcio e os modos de vida agrÃcolas do sertÃo do CearÃ; as limitaÃÃes dos instrumentos de avaliaÃÃo de impactos ambientais; o movimento de resistÃncias local; construÃÃo de alternativas territoriais como contraproposta ao projeto original do governo federal. Este estudo de carÃter descritivo-documental inter-relaciona saÃde, meio ambiente e produÃÃo a partir de um estudo empÃrico e traz reflexÃes sobre o potencial endÃgeno das comunidades para construÃÃo e efetivaÃÃo de polÃticas pÃblicas de desenvolvimento territorial rural e promoÃÃo da saÃde no campo. / The purpose of this research is to understand how the agricultural communities of Lagoa dos Cavalos, Junco, BarbatÃo and CÃrrego Salgado, in the municipality of Russas, state of CearÃ, Brazil, have created alternatives to development in defense of their way of life and as a strategy of resistance to the expanding large-scale agribusiness at the sub-basin of the Lower Jaguaribe River. Our reference framework draws from the analytic categories of âideology of developmentâ (Rigotto, 2008), âalternatives to developmentâ (Santos, 2005), âagroecologyâ (Altieri, 2009) and âsocio-environmental conflictâ (Acselrad, 2004). The methodological approach is based on the depth hermeneutics of Thompson (1996), reaching over the ethnographic methods of participant observation (Malinowsky, 1984) and thick description (Geertz, 1989). As results of the description of the traditional agricultural life of the communities of Lagoa dos Cavalos, Junco, BarbatÃo and CÃrrego Salgado, we reveal the social and historical process in the creation of alternatives of coexistence with the semi-arid climate, characterizing the agricultural biodiversity and its interrelation with the work processes of family-based agriculture and beekeeping, along with the potential for communitorganization; and the process of agroecological transition in the promotion of health in the countryside. Regarding the characterization of the socio-environmental conflict between the agricultural communities and the National Department of Public Works against Drought (in the Brazilian acronym, DNOCS), we unveil the threads of the tension between the production model of agribusiness and the agricultural ways of life in the dry countryside of the state of CearÃ; the limitations of the instruments for evaluating environmental impacts; the local movement of resistance; and the construction of territorial alternatives as a counterproposal to the original project laid down by the federal government. Based on an empirical work, this descriptive-documental study dwells with the linkages between health, environment and production, and presents some reflections on the endogenous potential of the communities in the construction and effective execution of the public policies of rural development and promotion of health in the countryside.
