Abstract

Homelessness in the United States continues to be a major social problem directly affecting an estimated three million persons, of whom nearly 30 percent belong to families without permanent shelter. This paper reviews recent research concerning homeless families and the conditions in which they live and outlines the significant health and mental health problems that these families experience. Effective nursing interventions for homeless families using Peszneckers' Model of Poverty are proposed. Nurses must advocate for changes in the social and political conditions that bring about homelessness since the resources to meet the needs of these families are either nonexistent or woefully inadequate.

摘要

美国的无家可归现象仍然是一个重大的社会问题，直接影响着约300万人，其中近30%属于没有永久住所的家庭。本文回顾了近期关于无家可归家庭及其居住条件的研究，并概述了这些家庭所面临的重大健康和心理健康问题。文中提出了运用佩斯内克贫困模型对无家可归家庭进行有效护理干预的建议。护士必须倡导改变导致无家可归现象的社会和政治状况，因为满足这些家庭需求的资源要么不存在，要么严重不足。
