“…Notably, a recent study documented associations between RS struggles and gender minority stress (Exline et al, 2021); however, much research remains to be done. Further, both cisgender and transgender women have been historically oppressed in RS spaces (Barrow & Kuvalanka, 2011), which may lead SGM women to have more positive experiences with RS when they construct their experience as more individually motivated rather than relying on authority (Ali et al, 2021; Eliason et al, 2011).…”

Although many sexual and gender minorities (SGMs) consider themselves religious or spiritual, the impact of this religiousness or spirituality (RS) on their health is poorly understood. We introduce the religious/spiritual stress and resilience model (RSSR) to provide a robust framework for understanding the variegated ways that RS influences the health of SGMs. The RSSR bridges existing theorizing on minority stress, structural stigma, and RS-health pathways to articulate the circumstances under which SGMs likely experience RS as health promoting or health damaging. The RSSR makes five key propositions: (a) Minority stress and resilience processes influence health; (b) RS influences general resilience processes; (c) RS influences minority-specific stress and resilience processes; (d) these relationships are moderated by a number of variables uniquely relevant to RS among SGMs, such as congregational stances on same-sex sexual behavior and gender expression or an individual’s degree of SGM and RS identity integration; and (e) relationships between minority stress and resilience, RS, and health are bidirectional. In this manuscript, we describe the empirical basis for each of the five propositions focusing on research examining the relationship between RS and health among SGMs. We conclude by describing how the RSSR may inform future research on RS and health among SGMs.

“…Both domestic and international scholars have developed indicator systems to measure the level of well-being of residents in accordance with the status of ecosystem services in various natural regions [26][27][28][29][30] since the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment report proposed the contribution of ecosystem services to human well-being. A review of related studies elucidated the following: 1 Currently, studies on well-being have developed a variety of indicator systems that cover health well-being [31][32][33][34][35], psychological well-being [36][37][38][39][40][41], social well-being [42][43][44][45][46], and other aspects [47,48]. There has also been some exploration into the perspective of ecological impacts [49][50][51].…”

As an important driving force for economic development and social progress, women have become an important subject of well-being research. Human well-being is the state of physical and mental health as well as material affluence and includes a variety of factors, such as wealth, education, health, safety, amenities, way of life, and happiness. Based on the established research framework of the Women’s Development Index (WDI) in Northwest China, this paper first measured the objective well-being level of women in Shaanxi, Gansu, Qinghai, Ningxia, and Xinjiang from 2003 to 2020 under the influence of ecological factors. In addition, spatial disaggregation and comparative analyses of the spatial imbalance of women's well-being in Northwest China were carried out using the Theil index and Dagum Gini coefficient. The results show that (1) the WDI in ecologically vulnerable areas in Northwest China increased from 0.525 in 2003 to 0.690 in 2020, indicating an overall increase in well-being. (2) The WDI in the five provinces gradually increased with fluctuations. Among them, Shaanxi always remained in first place in terms of the WDI. (3) From 2003 to 2020, the spatial imbalance of women's well-being as measured according to the WDI in Northwest China first increased and then decreased. However, the gap in women's well-being in Northwest China was smaller than the economic gap. (4) From 2003 to 2020, the well-being gap measured by the WDI among the 10 groups of provinces in Northwest China gradually decreased, and the development gap between the provinces and Shaanxi was the largest.
