Several research studies have shown the need to implement adapted nursing interventions to address these crucial access issues. In this article, we present the results of a critical ethnography of outreach nurses who work with homeless people (n = 12). Robert Castel's theoretical model, which focuses on the process of social disaffiliation, provided the conceptual underpinnings for this research. Our qualitative data analysis revealed four categories, namely 1) the professional role and identity of nurses; 2) the social function of outreach nursing; 3) clinical realities and 4) disaffiliation and stigmatization. Our findings highlight the need to raise awareness among health care providers about the ethical, clinical and organizational issues of homelessness, particularly the mechanisms of exclusion and stigmatization in health care settings that affect people experiencing homelessness.</p>","PeriodicalId":51084,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Community Health Nursing","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/07370016.2020.1809858","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"38664215","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Of the parents who participated in the study, 35.9% stated that they found the information on childhood vaccinations unreliable or that they doubted the credibility of the information. In addition, most of the parents (71%) stated that they believed that the high number of immigrant children in the country causes contagious diseases to increase. It is found that there are statistically significant higher scores in the subscales of severity, susceptibility, and health motivation among the parents who disagree with the media statements on anti-vaccination attitudes (p < 0,001).
