60多年来，哥伦比亚经历了国内暴力冲突，迫使800多万人流离失所。最近的努力已经开始探索这些情况下的心理健康后果，重点是国家调查。迄今为止，很少有哥伦比亚研究从生活经验的角度探讨心理健康和福祉。那些这样做的人，忽视了使生存成为可能的过程。针对这一差距，我们对昆迪纳马卡省7名国内流离失所的哥伦比亚妇女进行了生活史研究，分析了18次访谈和36小时的记录。一项专题网络分析借鉴了拉丁美洲关于性别平等和关键复原力框架的观点，探讨了妇女应对冲突造成的与心理健康有关的困难的应对战略。分析表明：（1）武装冲突通过加剧历史上的性别暴力和不平等，加剧现有的情感健康挑战，对妇女情感健康工作产生性别影响，（2）应对策略反映了妇女调动认知、身体、社会、物质和象征力量和资源的能力。我们的研究结果强调，妇女生活的社会政治背景与她们实现心理健康的努力密不可分，深刻的叙事和历史工作的价值在于捕捉妇女在冲突环境中经历的复杂性。我们建议社会干预的重要性，以支持妇女在冲突环境中的心理健康，以中心的社会和政治环境中所面临的这些边缘化群体的努力，以改善心理健康。
For over 60 years, Colombia has endured violent civil conflict forcibly displacing more than 8 million people. Recent efforts have begun to explore mental health consequences of these contexts, with an emphasis on national surveys. To date few Colombian studies explore mental health and well-being from a lived experience perspective. Those that do, overlook processes that enable survival. In response to this gap, we conducted a life history study of seven internally displaced Colombian women in the Cundinamarca department, analysing 18 interview sessions and 36 hours of transcripts. A thematic network analysis, informed by Latin-American perspectives on gender and critical resilience frameworks, explored women’s coping strategies in response to conflict-driven hardships related to mental well-being. Analysis illuminated that: (1) the gendered impacts of the armed conflict on women’s emotional well-being work through exacerbating historical gendered violence and inequality, intensifying existing emotional health challenges, and (2) coping strategies reflect women’s ability to mobilise cognitive, bodied, social, material and symbolic power and resources. Our findings highlight that the sociopolitical contexts of women’s lives are inseparable from their efforts to achieve mental well-being, and the value of deep narrative and historical work to capturing the complexity of women’s experiences within conflict settings. We suggest the importance of social interventions to support the mental health of women in conflict settings, in order to centre the social and political contexts faced by such marginalised groups within efforts to improve mental health.
