To determine the relationship between the characteristics and experiences of homeless persons and their state of happiness as a basis for designing appropriate social support strategies.
Exploratory observational study with an analytical and descriptive qualitative design.
Participants were contacted, administered with questionnaires, and interviewed in the street (central and northern areas of the city) or at the "" center in Granada (Spain) between April 2017 and February 2018.
Selected by intentional sampling, 25 participants completed questionnaires in the first study and 14 of these were administered with questionnaires and interviewed in the second study.
General and specific questionnaires were administered to determine the state of happiness and other variables. Descriptive statistics were followed by an analysis of the relationships between variables and the content analysis of semi-structured interviews.
A feeling of happiness was described by 64% of participants and confirmed by a happiness scale score of 50%. Participants who felt satisfied with their life were 4.5-fold more likely to feel happy ( = 0.021). Expectations for the future were not associated with happiness or satisfaction with life. Content analysis of interviews revealed three main themes: conditions for happiness, own happiness/unhappiness, and self-esteem.
Many homeless people describe themselves as feeling happy and satisfied with their life. Material aspects, affective situations, daily life concerns, and self-esteem predominate in their discourse on happiness.
确定无家可归者的特征和经历与其幸福状态之间的关系,以此作为设计适当社会支持策略的依据。
采用分析性和描述性定性设计的探索性观察研究。
2017年4月至2018年2月期间,在该市的市中心和北部地区的街道上或西班牙格拉纳达的“中心”联系参与者,对其进行问卷调查和访谈。
通过立意抽样选择,25名参与者在第一项研究中完成了问卷调查,其中14名在第二项研究中接受了问卷调查并接受了访谈。
发放一般和特定问卷以确定幸福状态及其他变量。在描述性统计之后,分析变量之间的关系并对半结构化访谈进行内容分析。
64%的参与者描述有幸福感,幸福量表得分证实了这一点,其中50%的参与者有幸福感。对生活感到满意的参与者感到幸福的可能性高出4.5倍(P = 0.021)。对未来的期望与幸福或生活满意度无关。访谈内容分析揭示了三个主要主题:幸福的条件、自身的幸福/不幸福以及自尊。
许多无家可归者表示自己感到幸福且对生活满意。在他们关于幸福的论述中,物质方面、情感状况、日常生活担忧和自尊占主导地位。
