摘要

目的探讨桑给巴尔省接受老花矫正的手工艺妇女(n = 19)的赋权经历,以及她们的丈夫(n = 5)和男性社区领导(n = 4)的观点。设计定性现象学方法对19名接受老花矫正的手工艺妇女、5名丈夫和4名社区领导进行访谈。参与的女工匠代表了桑给巴尔(Unguja n = 10, Pemba n = 9)不同的工艺和地点,访谈用斯瓦希里语进行。数据收集涉及半结构化访谈,分析采用归纳和演绎主题技术。结果女工匠报告说,戴眼镜增强了她们的工作能力,提高了生产率,增强了自信和独立性。心理赋权(PE)在他们的决策和自主权以及他们在经济上支持家庭的能力方面是明显的。男性观察到眼镜对女性自力更生和社区贡献的积极影响。参与者指出,社会对戴眼镜的态度总体上是支持的,尽管一些污名仍然存在。结论眼镜矫正老花眼对桑给巴尔妇女的PE有显著的促进作用,增强了她们的独立性、自信心和生产力。支持性的社区环境进一步加强了赋权,强调了可获得的眼科护理对提高生活质量和福祉的重要性。我们探讨了19名桑给巴尔手工艺妇女在老花矫正后的赋权经历,并结合了她们丈夫和社区领袖的观点。采用定性现象学方法,半结构化访谈揭示了女性生产力、独立性、自信心和心理赋权的增强。男性参与者观察到自力更生和社区贡献的增加。虽然社区的态度是支持的,但一些污名仍然存在。这突出了可获得的眼科护理对妇女生活质量的变革性影响,并强调了其更广泛的社会效益。

Psychological empowerment after presbyopia correction: A narrative from Zanzibari women and men

Purpose

To explore the empowerment experiences of Zanzibari craftswomen (n = 19) who received presbyopia correction, as well as perspectives from their husbands (n = 5) and male community leaders (n = 4).

Design

Qualitative phenomenological approach

Methods

Nineteen craftswomen who received presbyopia correction, five of their husbands and four community leaders were participated in the interviews. Craftswomen participants represented various crafts and locations across Zanzibar (Unguja n = 10, Pemba n = 9), with interviews conducted in Swahili. Data collection involved semi-structured interviews, and analysis employed both inductive and deductive thematic techniques.

Results

Craftswomen reported that wearing spectacles enhanced their ability to work, increased productivity, and improved confidence and independence. Psychological empowerment (PE) was evident in their decision-making and autonomy, as well as their capacity to support their families financially. Men observed the positive effects of spectacles on the women's self-reliance and community contributions. Participants noted that community attitudes toward wearing glasses were generally supportive, although some stigma persisted.

Conclusion

Presbyopia correction through spectacles facilitated significant PE among Zanzibari women, enhancing their independence, confidence, and productivity. A supportive community environment further bolstered empowerment, underscoring the importance of accessible eye care in improving quality of life and well-being.

Precis

We explored the empowerment experiences of 19 Zanzibari craftswomen following presbyopia correction, incorporating perspectives from their husbands and community leaders. Using a qualitative phenomenological approach, semi-structured interviews revealed enhanced productivity, independence, confidence, and psychological empowerment among the women. Male participants observed increased self-reliance and community contributions. While community attitudes were supportive, some stigma persisted. This highlights the transformative impact of accessible eye care on women's quality of life and underscore its broader societal benefits.
