尽管健康教育工作者对社区动员健康重新产生了兴趣，但人们很少关注参与者的动员动机。本文的目的是通过分析一组妇女社区卫生工作者（CHW），在墨西哥的一个社区为基础的组织的成员之间的动员动机，以促进对社区动员的理解。本研究以批判女性主义和社会建构主义理论为指导。它旨在确定妇女社区工作者使用的动机类别，并探讨这些动机是如何产生的，同时提出妇女自己的声音。女性的动机可分为四类：走出去、服务、学习和改善女性。这些动机混合了个人和公共动机。分析表明，可以通过解决个人的个人满意度和公共产品的实现来加强健康动员。对动机的研究可能有助于招募和留住社区动员工作的参与者。
Despite health educators' revitalized interest in community mobilization for health, little attention has been given to participants' motives for mobilizing. The purpose of this article is to contribute to the understanding of community mobilizing by analyzing the motives for mobilization among a group of women community health workers (CHWs), members of a community-based organization in Mexico. The study is guided by critical feminist and social constructivist theories. It aims at identifying the categories of motives used by women CHWs and exploring how these motives are created while presenting women's own voices. Women's motives fall into four categories: getting out, serving, learning, and women's betterment. These motives blend personal and public motives. The analysis suggests that mobilization for health may be enhanced by addressing both the personal satisfaction of individuals and the accomplishment of public goods. The study of motives may be useful for the recruitment and retention of participants in community mobilization efforts.
