A qualitative examination of the challenges and needs during hospital discharge for people with lived experience of homelessness
People with lived or living experiences of homelessness (PWLEH) have higher rates of chronic and acute health problems and present to hospitals at a higher rate than their housed counterparts. Limited research has explored how PWLEH characterize their own discharge experiences. To improve hospital discharge processes and policies for PWLEH, this qualitative study conducted a thematic analysis of semi-structured interviews with 20 PWLEH in Metro V…
Homeism
We examined stigmatization and discrimination experienced during the process of hospital discharge by people with lived experience of homelessness (PWLEs). We propose the term “homeism” as the discrimination (behaviour) towards an individual who is homeless; this form of discrimination is the result of negative stereotypes (stigmas) towards individuals who are experiencing homelessness. Based on a qualitative secondary data analysis of interviews…
Prioritizing Patient Perspectives When Designing Intervention Studies for Homeless Older Adults
Purpose: Medical respite provides postacute care to people experiencing homelessness upon hospital discharge if they are too sick to recover on the streets or in a traditional shelter. The current study examined the feasibility of conducting a study to test the effectiveness of a medical respite intervention for older people experiencing homelessness. Methods: Fifteen patient and 11 provider participants were interviewed between July and November…
Design Considerations for the Development and Implementation of a Medical Respite for Older Adults Experiencing Homelessness in Metro Vancouver
BACKGROUND: Older persons with lived or living experience of homelessness (PWLEs) often live with complex physical and/or mental health conditions which are challenged by poor access to health services, especially primary care. To fill the gap in the continuum of care following hospital discharge for PWLEs, medical respite provides health and shelter support for PWLEs who do not have acute care needs that qualify for a stay in a hospital bed, yet…
Health supports needed for homeless persons transitioning from hospitals
Being homeless has a negative effect on health and the health needs of individuals experiencing homelessness are complex and challenging to address. As a result of limited access to and use of primary healthcare, the main point of entry into the healthcare system for individuals experiencing homelessness is often hospitals and emergency departments. Persons experiencing homelessness are commonly discharged from hospital settings to locations that…
Addiction Social Work Fellowship Program in Canada
Substance use disorders (SUD) disproportionally contribute to the global social and economic cost of disease; however, their treatment has been inadequate in large part due to an enduring research to practice gap in which competencies for treating and preventing SUDs are often lacking from social work education curricula. Training social workers in managing SUDs has been separated from nurse and physician training, partly due to the long-standing…
