我们探讨了老年妇女参与志愿活动组织“Raging Grannies”的意义和潜在的健康相关益处。该组织的活动重点是社会和政治抗议，同时也挑战对老年妇女的刻板印象。利用定性访谈和焦点小组数据，我们采用赋权理论作为手段来研究参与“愤怒奶奶”活动如何促进老年妇女的个人赋权。结果围绕四个关键主题构建：（1）影响参与“愤怒奶奶”活动的个人和社会因素； (2) 休闲作为“愤怒”的背景，(3) 愤怒奶奶内部的赋权过程，(4) 赋权参与带来的结果。
We explore the meanings and potential health-related benefits of older women's participation in the Raging Grannies, a voluntary activist organization. The group's activities are focused on social and political protest while also challenging stereotypes about aging women. Drawing on qualitative interview and focus group data, we employed empowerment theory as a means to examine the ways in which participation in the Raging Grannies contributed to older women's personal empowerment. Results were constructed around four key themes: (1) personal and social factors influencing involvement in the Raging Grannies; (2) leisure as a context for "raging," (3) empowering processes within the Raging Grannies, and (4) empowering outcomes resulting from participation.
