Resumen
SILVA, Felicialle Pereira da et al. Homeless population and COVID-19: Reflections in light of nursing theories. Rev. Enf. Ref. [online]. 2022, vol.serVI, n.1, e21115. Epub 23-Nov-2022. ISSN 0874-0283. https://doi.org/10.12707/rv21115.
Background:
COVID-19 is an acute respiratory illness caused by a novel human coronavirus. Due to the accelerated spread of the virus, health authorities have advocated social distancing. Homeless people have difficulties meeting this requirement due to a lack of access to fundamental rights such as housing, education, and health. The epistemological bases of nursing theories contribute to underpinning the care provided to these people.
Objective:
To reflect on the health care of the homeless population during the COVID-19 pandemic in light of five nursing theories.
Main topics under analysis:
The theories of Nightingale, Roy, Horta, Peplau, and Henderson have care approaches focused on the basic needs of homeless people who require immediate interventions due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Conclusion:
Nursing theories provide scientific support to caring for the homeless population based on physical, biological, and social aspects through intersectoral partnerships that can promote care during and after the pandemic.
