Reflections on health among women in homelessness: A qualitative study.
Åsa KneckAnna KlarareElisabet MattssonMartin Salzmann-Eriksonnull nullPublished in: Journal of psychiatric and mental health nursing (2022)
Healthcare needs to integrate the perceived resources for health and well-being when caring for women in homelessness. It is imperative since women will return to the healthcare setting only if they feel safe and secure, and only if dignity is preserved or restored. The results promote utilization of an integrative nursing approach; understanding that the health of women in homelessness is inseparable from their environment and social determinants for health, such as housing and social integration.
