农村和城市居民对健康和疾病的态度可能不同。提出了可能与向农村居民提供保健服务有关的问题供审议。城市居民对疾病或残疾的反应往往与疼痛或美容吸引力造成的不适有关，而农村居民对疾病或残疾的反应往往与疾病或残疾影响生产力的程度有关。农村居民往往会推迟就医或相关服务，直到经济或社会上方便时才就医。将自己的私生活暴露给当地服务机构的陌生人或熟人，或者前往可能会误解文化或行为差异的远程服务机构，这可能会影响农村居民的福祉。农村地区的卫生服务提供者在提供服务时需要了解这些差异和困难。
Attitudes to health and illness may differ between rural and urban dwellers. Issues that may relate to the provision of health services to rural dwellers are raised for consideration. The response of urban dwellers to illness or disability has often been linked to discomfort caused by pain or cosmetic attractiveness, while for rural dwellers the response to illness or disability is often related to the degree to which the illness or disability affects productivity. Often the rural resident will postpone seeking medical or associated services until it is economically or socially convenient. The notion of exposing their private lives to strangers or acquaintances from the local based services or to undertake the journey to distant services where the cultural or behavioural differences could be misunderstood, may impact on rural dwellers' well-being. Health service providers in rural areas need to understand such differences and difficulties when offering services.
