Abstract: This study is based on the discussion about the mental health of women living in rural communities, given that rural women represent almost half of the rural population, specifically in Brazil. The objective of this work is to discuss the mental health of women in rural settings. Qualitative research was conducted using field diaries. The data were analyzed using content analysis. Mental health is defined as a state of well-being in which a person recognizes their capabilities and effectively faces everyday challenges. This state allows the individual to work productively and actively contribute to their community. It is important to emphasize that mental health goes beyond the simple absence of disorders, being influenced by both personal aspects and socioeconomic factors. Therefore, the need to recognize and value these practices as fundamental to their well-being becomes evident. This finding reinforces the importance of promoting spaces where women can share their experiences and strengthen their support networks.
