Abstract

LAY SUMMARY Homelessness is a problem among female Canadian Veterans. Approximately 15% of the Canadian Veteran population is female, yet female Veterans constitute approximately 30% of the homeless Canadian Veteran population. In response, the Standing Committee on Veterans Affairs has called for the investigation of homelessness among female Canadian Veterans to address this research gap. A scoping review was conducted on the lived experiences of homeless female Veterans to identify factors associated with homelessness. This review was the initial step in a larger research framework to investigate the lived experiences of homeless Canadian female Veterans. Fifteen articles met the inclusion criteria and were included for synthesis. Four themes were identified, corresponding with the period in which they occurred (pre-military service, post-military service, during military service, and across the lifespan). Several implications are clear. First, Canadian research on female Veteran homelessness is needed. Second, future research must use a framework that accounts for multifactorial and multi-dimensional issues, as well as a sex- and gender-based analysis lens.
女性退伍军人无家可归的风险因素:范围审查
无家可归是加拿大女性退伍军人的一个问题。大约15%的加拿大退伍军人是女性,然而女性退伍军人占无家可归的加拿大退伍军人的30%。作为回应,退伍军人事务常设委员会呼吁对加拿大女性退伍军人中的无家可归者进行调查,以解决这一研究差距。对无家可归的女退伍军人的生活经历进行了范围审查,以确定与无家可归有关的因素。这篇综述是一个更大的研究框架的第一步,目的是调查无家可归的加拿大女性退伍军人的生活经历。15篇文章符合纳入标准,被纳入综合。确定了四个主题,对应于它们发生的时期(兵役前、兵役后、兵役期间和整个生命周期)。有几个含义是清楚的。首先,加拿大需要对女性退伍军人无家可归问题进行研究。其次,未来的研究必须使用一个考虑多因素和多维问题的框架,以及性别和基于性别的分析视角。
