The situation/risk of family homelessness presents multiple interrelated issues. It has considerable negative consequences, namely the deterioration of the family members' health and well-being, and alterations in the family's dynamics, with parents sometimes being separated from their children. The aim of this research was to understand how parenting takes place in families experiencing, or at risk of, homelessness. The conducted study falls within the qualitative paradigm, using Strauss and Corbin's version of the Grounded Theory methodology. Three main categories emerged, supported by all the participating families: "Meaning of Parenthood", "Key Events", and "Transition Circumstances". These categories were translated into facilitating/inhibiting factors, within the following dimensions: "Individual", "Family", and "Society". We were able to conclude that, in the population under study, parenting is restricted, being mostly exerted in a remote manner. Furthermore, it takes on different forms, depending on the specific homelessness situation/risk. In families at risk of homelessness, we identified "Remote Parenting with Maintained Parental Authority", as well as "Restricted Parenting", when the children still lived with their parents. On the other hand, in families experiencing homelessness, we identified "Remote Parenting with Maintained Parental Authority", "Unilateral Remote Parenting", "Interrupted Parenting", and the "Total Disruption of Parenting".
家庭无家可归的情况/风险带来了多个相互关联的问题。它带来了相当多的负面影响，即家庭成员的健康和福祉恶化，以及家庭动态的改变，父母有时会与子女分离。本研究的目的是了解处于无家可归或有此风险的家庭中育儿是如何进行的。进行的研究属于定性范式，使用 Strauss 和 Corbin 的扎根理论方法版本。有三个主要类别得到了所有参与家庭的支持：“父母身份的意义”、“关键事件”和“过渡情况”。这些类别被翻译成促进/抑制因素，分为以下维度：“个人”、“家庭”和“社会”。我们得出的结论是，在所研究的人群中，育儿受到限制，主要以远程方式进行。此外，它根据特定的无家可归情况/风险呈现不同的形式。在有面临无家可归风险的家庭中，我们确定了“维持父母权威的远程育儿”，以及“受限制的育儿”，当孩子仍与父母住在一起时。另一方面，在经历无家可归的家庭中，我们确定了“维持父母权威的远程育儿”、“单边远程育儿”、“中断育儿”和“完全破坏育儿”。
