Treatment of trauma-related conditions for people in homelessness: A scoping review
People in homelessness face significant health inequities, with tri-morbidity, exposure to violence, substance use- and post-traumatic stress disorder. The aim of this scoping review was to describe treatments for trauma-related conditions for persons in homelessness. Systematic searches were performed in three databases: PubMed, PsycInfo and Scopus, guided by the PRISMA checklist. Nine studies fulfilled the criteria and were included in the revi…
Associations Between Violence and Psychological Distress Among Women Experiencing Homelessness: A Cross-Sectional Study
This study examines the association between violence exposure and psychological distress among women experiencing homelessness ( n = 41). Using a cross-sectional survey design, we assessed emotional, physical, and sexual violence perpetrated by both close (e.g., intimate partners, family members) and non-close (e.g., acquaintances, strangers) individuals and their impact on mental well-being. Findings indicate high levels of violence, with greate…
Seeking public assistance to escape violence: A Study on Relocation Co-Created With Women With Lived Experience of Homelessness
Why are so few women given public assistance to relocate away from violence? This article will try to answer this question using findings from a study co-created by women with lived experiences and academic researchers. Public assistance for this group is, in Sweden, a right granted by the national Social Services Act, but a significant proportion of women in need of it do not receive it. A survey of local social services reveals a pattern of cha…
Health literacy and its association with mental and spiritual well-being among women experiencing homelessness
Low health literacy (HL) has been linked to low self-rated health, reduced efficacy of behaviour change, and challenges in preventing, treating, or managing health conditions. People experiencing homelessness are at risk of poor HL; however, few studies have investigated HL in relation to mental and spiritual well-being among people experiencing homelessness in general, or women experiencing homelessness specifically. This cross-sectional study o…
Collaborative Interpretation of Researcher-Generated Photo-Elicitation Findings: Insights From Women With Lived Experience of Homelessness
Interviews with individuals experiencing homelessness can be challenging for various reasons, including mental and physical health issues, substance use, and negative experiences with authority figures. Researchers have used photos to facilitate communication and empower participants during data collection. We analyzed data from a previous study to explore the use of researcher-generated photos during interviews about health with 13 women experie…
Social rights in relation to digitalization, mobile phone, and internet use – experiences of women in homelessness: A qualitative study
Given the fact that women in homelessness face considerable health inequities, the question of how digitalization can be understood in relation to social rights and right to health surfaces. The objective of this qualitative interview study was to explore the use of mobile phones and internet for women experiencing homelessness. Women (n = 26) shared experiences of healthcare access by using a mobile phone or internet. Data were analyzed using NV…
Homeless persons' experiences of health‐ and social care: A systematic integrative review
Homelessness is associated with high risks of morbidity and premature death. Many interventions aimed to improve physical and mental health exist, but do not reach the population of persons experiencing homelessness. Despite the widely reported unmet healthcare needs, more information about the barriers and facilitators that affect access to care for persons experiencing homelessness is needed. A systematic integrative review was performed to exp…
Belonging to a community of care: Mothers’ experiences of online peer support groups for parents having lost a child with congenital heart defects
The aim was to study mothers' experiences of online peer support groups after the death of a child. Participants ( N = 8) were recruited through a newsletter for the Swedish association for families/children with heart defects, and two closed support groups on Facebook (900 and 100 members) and interviewed by telephone. Transcripts were analyzed with qualitative content analysis. The groups were available around the clock, regardless of support n…
