This paper draws on research analyzing the emotional and relational impacts of poverty and exclusion on charities' clients in Spain since the 2008-2009 economic crisis, including people experiencing multiple exclusion homelessness (MEH). The study adopts a mixed-methods approach in which twenty in-depth cases were collected in different geographical locations, including twelve cases experiencing MEH. Unlike other disadvantaged groups, those affected by MEH suffer material shortages, traumatic experiences, psychological disorders, physical illnesses, and a high degree of relational vulnerability, as reflected in the structure and composition of their personal networks, which tend to be smaller in size, with just a few weak and temporary contacts, and with care professionals playing an important role. These charity users often need long-term socio-sanitary care, which challenges public and private health-care systems. Therefore, our contribution to this Special Issue is directed toward improving understanding of the relational characteristics of severely excluded people, how social support affects their personal networks, and the challenges this assistance poses to care services.
本文借鉴了研究成果，分析了 2008-2009 年经济危机以来西班牙贫困和排斥对慈善机构客户（包括经历多重排斥无家可归的人）的情感和关系影响。该研究采用混合方法，在不同地理位置收集了二十个深入案例，其中包括 12 个经历 MEH 的案例。与其他弱势群体不同，受 MEH 影响的人遭受物质短缺、创伤经历、心理障碍、身体疾病和高度的关系脆弱性，这反映在他们的个人网络结构和组成中，个人网络规模较小，只有少数薄弱和临时的联系，并且护理专业人员发挥着重要作用。这些慈善机构用户通常需要长期的社会卫生保健，这对公共和私人医疗保健系统提出了挑战。因此，我们对本期特刊的贡献旨在增进对严重排斥人群的关系特征的理解，了解社会支持如何影响他们的个人网络，以及这种援助对护理服务带来的挑战。
