Homelessness has become an enduring fixture of contemporary United States society. Female veterans face a host of unique challenges; females often carry the burden of serving in the armed forces, while balancing marriages, motherhood, and care giving responsibilities in their home lives. As the veterans return to their lives as civilians, the females who served in the military must deal with the possibility of sexual harassment, sexual assault, and rape while in the armed services. Female service members are twice as likely to have Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PSTD) than their male service members and are three to four times more likely to become homeless. Understanding this view of homelessness from the female veteran’s perspective is limited due to small sample sizes in previous research efforts. However, with the increasing numbers of homeless female veterans it is imperative to understand the risk factors. A qualitative descriptive study was conducted using a modified framework for studying vulnerable populations. The study was designed to explore the meaning of homelessness from the female homeless veteran’s perspective. Second, risk factors were examined for homelessness and the services necessary for the female veteran to exit the homeless cycle. Third, the data were coded and analyzed to identify patterns and commonalities of multiple psycho social factors such as unstable family support, domestic violence, job loss, affordable housing options, substance abuse, mental and physical health issues. These factors were cited as the leading risk factors contributing to the homeless state of this sample of female veterans. The data collection consisted of ten homeless female veterans participating in a private, audio taped interview using a semi-structure interview tool. Resources listed as a necessity to end homelessness consisted of affordable housing, job security, earning a living wage income, transportation, remaining drug free, and being awarded disability. The pathway to homelessness varied for each participant, but they all demonstrated a tremendous amount of resiliency.

Full textBackground: Being older means losses of many kinds, including physical abilities, loss o fkin, and the ability to maintain or establish new relationships. At a nursing home, the elderly are not objectively alone, there’s always other people around. Despite this there are many older people who experience loneliness their last time in life. Previous research has shown that it is important that the caregiver is responsive, open and show reciprocity in the caring relationship. Problem: For many lonely elderly the care relationship is the only relationship they have. Aim: To describe the care relationships importance for the single elderly in retirement homes. A systematic literature review was performed on eleven qualitative studies that were analyzed using a descriptive synthesis. The results showed that the experiences of the elderly without relatives at the nursing home were greatly affected by the care relationship. Thriving and perceptions of quality of care were affected by the care relationship. Furthermore their sense of purpose and belonging were affected, and the caring relationship was significant for whether the elderly felt respected and affirmed as unique individuals. It is important that caregivers understand how much the care relationship means for older people's experiences and further research on single older people's experiences of loneliness in retirement homes is of utmost importance.

O presente trabalho tem por objetivo refletir sobre a Estratégia de Saúde da Família (ESF) e a política de saúde intitulada Humaniza SUS. Para isso recorreremos as ditas ―tecnologias leves‖, ou "tecnologias corporais", como formas de cuidado do outro, aliado ao enfoque antropológico sobre o ritual e a ritualização das práticas. Nosso argumento parte do contraponto entre práticas estereotipadas e práticas recriadas pelas constantes possibilidades de afetação que os sujeitos vivenciam na vida ordinária. A maneira como os significados dados por cada agente quando se referem às práticas próprias da ESF, como as visitas domiciliares e os grupos educativos, nos permitem compreender os processos de transformação dos corpos, onde cada ator corporifica suas experiências passadas e recriam os significados para a ação presente. Partimos de casos etnográficos para questionarmos a concepção de um corpo único biomédico, demonstrando a multiplicidade de corpos que envolvem distintos itinerários de vida.
This paper aims to discuss the Family Health Strategy (Estratégia de Saúde da Família - ESF) and health policy entitled Humaniza SUS. To do so will draw the so-called "soft technologies", or "body technologies" as ways of caring for others, coupled with the anthropological focus on ritual and ritualistic practices. Our argument is the opposition between practices and stereotyped practices recreated by the constant possibility of affecting the subjects live in ordinary life. The way the meanings given by each agent when they refer to practices peculiar to the ESF, such as home visits and educational groups, allow us to understand the processes of transformation of bodies, where each actor embodies his past experiences and recreate meanings for this action. We started from ethnographic cases to question the design of a single body biomedical, demonstrating the multiplicity of bodies involving different paths through life.
