摘要

天主教修女在社会企业、慈善机构和慈善组织(如宗教、教育和医疗保健部门)的组建和管理中发挥着重要作用。作为致力于服务他人并忠于其宗教使命的奉献者,她们的健康和福祉是她们能否有效履行使命的关键因素。然而,在他们全心全意为他人服务的过程中,他们的健康和福祉往往岌岌可危。这可能是由于他们的职业召唤、环境和工作性质等因素造成的。本研究探讨了在三个非洲国家开展工作的天主教修女的健康和福祉问题:肯尼亚、乌干达和赞比亚。研究利用了从与天主教修女及其上司(领导)的访谈中收集到的原始数据。研究采用主题分析法对数据进行分析,并对精心挑选的 11 位修女的观点进行交叉比较。根据与受访者的讨论,得出了三个主题:自我牺牲和被遗忘的自我、巨大的工作量和不堪重负的感觉,以及需要时间反省和专注于自己的爱好。这项研究为如何支持修女在实现其宗教使命的同时支持她们所经营的社会机构提供了有益的启示。这也许是第一项关注参与社会企业的女修士的健康和福祉的研究,尤其是在非洲背景下。

The Nexus Between the Health and Well-Being of Catholic Sisters: Evidence From Three African Countries

Catholic sisters play a vital role in the formation and management of social enterprises, charities and philanthropic establishments such as those in religious, educational and healthcare sectors. As devoted individuals committed to serving others whilst remaining faithful to their religious vocation, their health and well-being are critical factors in their ability to fulfil their mission effectively. However, their health and well-being are often on the line as they dedicate themselves to serving others. This could be due to factors such as their vocational calling, their context and the nature of their work. The current study addresses the health and well-being of Catholic sisters operating in three African countries: Kenya, Uganda and Zambia. The study utilised primary data gathered from interviews with Catholic sisters and their superiors (leaders). Data was analysed using thematic analysis and cross-case comparison of views from a carefully selected sample of 11 sisters who were interviewed virtually. Based on the discussions with the respondents, three themes emerged: self-sacrifice and the forgotten self, immense workload and feeling overwhelmed, and the need for time for introspection and focusing on one’s hobbies. The study provides useful implications on how religious sisters can be supported to realise their religious vocation while supporting the social establishments they run. This is perhaps the first study to focus on the health and well-being of women religious involved in social enterprises, especially in the African context.

期刊介绍: Pastoral Psychology, founded in 1950, is one of the most well-established and respected journals in the field of psychology and religion/spirituality. Pastoral Psychology is an international forum that publishes scholarly, peer-reviewed original articles that address varied aspects of religion and spirituality from physical, human science, and interfaith perspectives. Historically, the word “pastoral” has referred to the care of individuals, families, and communities. Today, we additionally consider “pastoral” in terms of lived experience as it relates to embodiment, the social-political, economic, spiritual, and environmental dimensions of life. All theoretical perspectives are welcome, as Pastoral Psychology regularly publishes articles from a variety of schools of thought, including, but not limited to, psychoanalytic and other dynamic psychologies, cognitive psychologies, experimental and empirical psychologies, humanistic psychology, transpersonal psychology, and cultural psychology. Insights from existential perspectives, intersectional theories, philosophical and theological theories, gender and queer studies, sociology, anthropology, public mental health, and cultural and empirical studies are welcome. Theoretical contributions that have direct or indirect relevance for practice, broadly construed, are especially desirable, as our intended audience includes not only academics and scholars in religion and science, but also religious and spiritual leaders, as well as caregivers, chaplains, social workers, counselors/therapists, clinical psychologists, psychiatrists, and persons interested in matters of religion/spirituality and psychology. Pastoral Psychology welcomes scholarship and reflection from all religious and spiritual traditions. In addition to scholarly research papers, the journal welcomes thoughtful essays on a wide range of issues and various genres of writing, including book reviews and film reviews. The community of scholars represented in its pages has demonstrated that the life challenges the journal seeks to address are universally shared, yet also reflect individual social, cultural, and religious locations. The journal, therefore, welcomes submissions from scholars from around the world.
