Incidence of psycho‐social well‐being in a rural community of South Africa
Bibliographic Data
This article explores the incidence of psychosocial well‐being within Lokaleng; a rural community located in the North West province of South Africa. While the community is unique, it shares similarities with many other rural communities in South Africa, such as being deprived of various resources and being impoverished, indicating a need to explore the incidence of psychosocial well‐being in this community as there has been no research on this phenomenon in this community specifically. A quantitative, cross‐sectional design was employed. A purposive sample of adult community members ( n = 189) completed a battery of validated questionnaires and data were analyzed with the IBM SPSS Statistics 26 software package. The results are indicative that the sample experienced lower levels of psychosocial well‐being, which supports similar findings of other South African studies that rural communities tend to report lower levels of psychosocial well‐being
