Abstract:
Background: Homeless persons in the United States have disproportionately high rates of illness, injury, and mortality and tend to believe that the quality of their end-of-life care will be poor. No studies were found as to whether nurses or nursing students require moral courage to help homeless persons or members of any other demographic complete advance directives. Research hypothesis: We hypothesized that baccalaureate nursing students require moral courage to help homeless persons complete advance directives. Moral courage was defined as a trait of a person or an action that overcomes fears or other challenges to achieve something of great moral worth. Research design: The hypothesis was investigated through a qualitative descriptive study. Aside from the pre-selection of a single variable to study (i.e. moral courage), our investigation was a naturalistic inquiry with narrative hues insofar as it attended to specific words and phrases in the data that were associated with that variable. Participants and research context: A total of 15 baccalaureate nursing students at a public university in the United States responded to questionnaires that sought to elicit fears and other challenges that they both expected to experience and actually experienced while helping homeless persons complete advance directives at a local, non-profit service agency. Ethical considerations: The study was approved by the Internal Review Board of the authors’ university, and each participant signed an informed consent form, which stated that the study involved no reasonably foreseeable risks and that participation was voluntary. Findings: Before meeting with homeless persons, participants reported that they expected to experience two fears and a challenge: fear of behaving in ways that a homeless person would deem inappropriate, fear of discussing a homeless person’s dying and death, and the challenge of adequately conveying the advance directive’s meaning and accurately recording a homeless person’s end-of-life wishes. In contrast, after their meetings with homeless persons, relatively few participants reported having encountered those obstacles. So, while participants required moral courage to assist homeless persons with advance directives, they required greater moral courage as they anticipated their meetings than during those meetings. Discussion: Our study breaks new ground at the intersection of nursing, moral courage, and advance directives. It might also have important implications for how to improve the training that US nursing students receive before they provide this service. Conclusion: Our results cannot be generalized, but portions of our approach are likely to be transferable to similar social contexts. For example, because homeless persons are misunderstood and marginalized throughout the United States, our design for training nursing students to provide this service is also likely to be useful across the United States. Internationally, however, it is not yet known whether our participants’ fears and the challenge they faced are also experienced by those who assist homeless persons or members of other vulnerable populations in documenting healthcare wishes.

Abstract:
Homeless persons struggle to access healthcare services and obtain resources to meet basic needs. This study used mini-ethnography, case study, and survey to describe primary care needs of homeless persons in two Pennsylvania cities. Data were obtained using participant observation, field notes, surveys, and document analysis. Five homeless persons and four community volunteers were interviewed. Homeless persons had some options for obtaining primary care services. It was difficult to take prescribed medications and acquire preventive services. Their symptoms often went unattended. Dedicated community volunteers and community agencies assisted homeless persons to obtain basic needs and healthcare services.

Abstract:
Traditional models of palliative care are largely inaccessible to homeless persons, and their preferences regarding end-of-life care are poorly understood. The purpose of the present scoping review is to summarize the burgeoning gray and academic literature on end-of-life care for homeless persons. Five medical databases, seven social science databases, and four gray literature databases were searched, resulting in 57 relevant titles. Six themes emerged: (a) Characteristics of homeless persons who require end-of-life care; (b) preferences and concerns of homeless persons approaching the end of life; (c) the role of spirituality for homeless persons at the end of life; (d) barriers to care at the patient, provider, and institutional or structural levels; (e) inclusive models of palliative care; and (f) implications for policy and practice. Practitioners and homeless persons must negotiate many obstacles in the provision and receipt of palliative care. However, there is tremendous potential and opportunity to improve the quality of life at the end of life for this vulnerable population.

Abstract:
A qualitative study that utilized a convenience sample of 29 individuals was conducted to uncover the meaning of health as it is experienced by homeless persons. Analysis revealed that homeless persons have two distinct conceptions of health: the characteristics that describe health, and a comprehensive view of the totality of health expressed in different combinations of health dimensions. A total of ten characteristics that described the essence of health were identified. These characteristics included satisfying basic human needs, having no illness related complaints, doing the work of health, fulfilling a functional role, having a positive self-image and outlook, and being fit. The four distinct perceptions of health that were revealed are: physical dimensions of health exclusively, physical and mental/emotional dimensions of health considered separately, physical and mental/emotional dimensions of health coexistent, and health as a multidimensional process of well being. Respondents also indicated that acute life events associated with feelings of loss preceded their state of homelessness. Generally, the respondents in this study considered themselves healthy.

Abstract:
In the Netherlands, the city of Utrecht is leading in providing adequate accommodation through mixed housing projects for ‘regular’ tenants and people previously living in homeless services or protected housing facilities. ‘New’ homeless persons also obtain the possibility for making a new start, instead of having to depend on shelters first. The concept of mixed housing, not to be confused with mixed income housing, relates in our definition to small and medium-sized (up to 500 residents) housing projects that are home to different groups of people who intentionally live next to each other, connect and engage in joint activities.In this paper, we examine three projects, with mainly self-contained dwellings: ‘Groene Sticht’ (since 2003), a small neighbourhood with 69 regular tenants and home-owners, and 35 ex-homeless persons; ‘Parana’ (2014), a purpose build complex with 24 regular and 44 (ex-)homeless individuals/families; ‘Majella Wonen’ (2016), older basic, post-war dwellings with 39 regular tenants and 35 homeless persons/families. These price-winning projects, co-created by a homeless service, social integration services and a social housing provider are built on an innovative concept of social management, with a high level of self-organisation. All residents are fully eligible members of the residents-committees and take responsibility for activities such as festivities, gardening, and the selection of new tenants. If necessary, ex-homeless inhabitants receive individualised support.We discuss structures and mechanisms that help homeless people feel at home amidst their (new) neighbours and foster their social integration. In addition, we identify several tensions that hamper integration and analyse the ways in which both residents and professionals try to tackle these obstacles.We collected data (2016 -2018) through the participatory meetings of a Community of Practice on Mixed housing, the study of documents, in-depth interviews with inhabitants of the housing complexes, focus group-sessions with professionals and interviews with local stakeholders.Based on this research we will apply for follow up funding. Through national funds and/or European funds.

Abstract:
тенденция демографического старения населения вынуждает все сферы современного российского общества адаптироваться к увеличению числа лиц старшей возрастной группы. О наличии такой адаптации свидетельствует возникновение во многих регионах РФ различных образовательных программ для людей третьего возраста, где пенсионеры могут изучать иностранные языки, заниматься творчеством и любительским спортом, осваивать компьютер и мобильные устройства. В статье рассмотрены многие проблемы, возникающие после прекращения работы (одиночество, социальная эксклюзия, информационное неравенство, снижение качества жизни и удовлетворенности ею, ухудшение материального положения), которые помогает разрешать образование как социальный институт. Вовлечение старшего поколения в образовательные мероприятия позволит продлить период здоровой, активной жизни, что хотя бы частично снизит нагрузку на систему здравоохранения и медицинской помощи в долгосрочной перспективе. Образовательная инклюзия пенсионеров позволит решить проблему дефицита трудовых ресурсов, связанную с демографическим кризисом (падением рождаемости), привлечь пенсионеров к участию в решении некоторых социально значимых проблем (экологической, адаптации выпускников детдомов, помощь инвалидам, престарелым, людям без определенного места жительства). tendency of population’s demographic aging challenge all spheres of modern Russian society to adapt to growth of number of elderly people. Appearance of various educational programs for elderly people’s learning foreign language, creation, sports, computer, gadgets, and digital literacy at many Russian regions say about this adaptation. Many problems, appearing after leaving a work (solitude, social exclusion, informational inequality, reducing of quality of life, life satisfaction and incomes), which education as a social institution helping to cope, considered at the article. Involvement older generation in educational arrangement prolong a period of healthy and active life and decrease partly a burden on the system of public health and medical aid. Educational inclusion allows to attract pensioners to participation at decision some social problems, such as ecological problem, problem of social adaptation of children homes’ graduates, aid senile people, disabled and homeless persons and to solve a problem of working resources’ deficit, appearing because of demographic crisis and birth rate reducing.

Abstract:
Is the average age of a United States homeless person nine? No, as the majority of homeless are adults. Yet despite available facts, the claim persists. Evaluating sources related to this claim can form a strong exercise in statistical literacy at college and secondary school levels. This article details our experience in working with this social statistic. It includes background information on homelessness, design considerations, notes from using the exercise in college and high school, and a handout designed for high school use.

Abstract:
The Federal Constitution of 1988 has in its body the so-called second dimension rights that aim to guarantee the dignity of the human person. However, when it comes to the homeless population, the reach of these rights, in practice, is distant or non-existent. The absence of official census data hinders the action of the State in the elaboration of effective public policies aimed at solving the various problems faced by individuals living on the streets, without guaranteeing the existential minimum. Given this scenario, the objective is to investigate the development, elaboration and implementation of public policies in the city of Campos dos Goytacazes for the homeless population, which aim to protect the minimum set of rights to have a decent life, reaffirming the importance existing policies or indicating the need for reformulation or the adoption of other measures that guarantee the minimum foreseen in the constitutional text.To achieve the objectives proposed in this research, the methodological procedures will start from a bibliographic, longitudinal, descriptive survey; legislative and jurisprudential analysis on the subject, in addition to a qualitative and quantitative approach, through the collection of primary and secondary data at the Human Development Department and Centro Pop, drawing up a profile of the homeless population in the studied municipality. The aim of this research is to systematize the theoretical framework and the actions of the State through laws, projects, decrees, ordinances on the homeless population and the implementation of public policies as a way to guarantee the existential minimum; proposition of viable solutions at the municipal level for the implementation of effective public policies for the multi-cited population, and elaboration of an article bringing together the results achieved by the studies carried out during the project.
