Abstract
This review aims to identify health promotion actions for the homeless population in the scientific literature. A bibliographic review was conducted, with searches performed in the following databases: Web of Science, Scopus, CINAHL, Embase, and Medline. The studies found were analyzed by two independent evaluators using the search strategy that screened 6,446 studies, of which 20 met the eligibility criteria. In the included studies, study design evaluations and level of evidence assessments were performed in addition to the extraction of information for data synthesis. The health promotion actions in the studies converged mainly on restoration, treatment, and prevention of health problems. The synthesis of the selected studies resulted in three categories involving sexual health, care for the promotion of physical health and a healthy lifestyle, and substance use reduction. The included studies evidenced health promotion actions that positively impact the health-disease process of people who are homeless. The importance of intensifying the development of studies for this population is emphasized, especially in developing nations.
本综述旨在确定科学文献中对无家可归者的健康促进措施。我们进行了文献综述,在以下数据库中进行了搜索:Web of Science、Scopus、CINAHL、Embase和Medline。发现的研究由两名独立评估人员使用筛选6,446项研究的搜索策略进行分析,其中20项符合资格标准。在纳入的研究中,除了提取用于数据合成的信息外,还进行了研究设计评估和证据水平评估。研究中的健康促进行动主要集中在健康问题的恢复、治疗和预防方面。选定的研究综合起来分为三类,涉及性健康、促进身体健康和健康生活方式的护理以及减少药物使用。纳入的研究证明,健康促进行动对无家可归者的健康-疾病过程有积极影响。强调了加强针对这一群体的研究发展的重要性,特别是在发展中国家。
