摘要
导言:无家可归是影响全世界人民的重大全球性挑战。在泰国,无家可归者的健康相关问题一直不是研究的重点。本综述旨在探讨泰国无家可归者健康相关问题的研究范围:从每个数据库建立之初到 2022 年 8 月,对八个数据库(ACI、AMED、Embase、PsycINFO、PubMed、Scopus、TCI 和 Web of Science)进行了检索。搜索条件包括与泰国无家可归者相关的术语。结果:在 186 篇文章中,有 167 篇文章在删除重复文章(45 篇)、筛选标题和摘要(106 篇)、查找全文(2 篇)和筛选全文(14 篇)时被排除。共纳入 19 篇文章进行提取和综合。对三个主题(健康状况、无家可归的原因以及无家可归对健康、医疗保健和社会服务的影响)进行了总结。纳入的研究描述了心理健康(如抑郁、自杀、酒精和药物依赖)、身体健康(如不良的自我卫生习惯、受伤、事故)和健康行为(如饮酒、使用药物、不安全性行为)。报告了与无家可归有关的社会行为和健康问题,以及与健康和生活条件有关的一些因素(如耻辱感、歧视)。无家可归者在获得医疗保健和社会服务方面存在一些障碍(如医疗保险、社会福利、经济困难):大多数关于泰国无家可归者健康相关问题的研究都是描述性研究。今后的研究应侧重于无家可归与健康之间的相互作用和机制。
Health-related issues of people experiencing homelessness in Thailand: a scoping review.
Introduction: Homelessness is a significant global challenge affecting people worldwide. In Thailand, the health-related issues of people experiencing homelessness have not been a major research focus. This scoping review aims to explore the scope of research on health-related issues among people experiencing homelessness in Thailand.
Methods: Eight databases (ACI, AMED, Embase, PsycINFO, PubMed, Scopus, TCI, and Web of Science) were searched from inception of each database to August 2022. The search terms consisted of terms related to people experiencing homelessness in Thailand. Research articles published in Thai or English were included.
Results: Of 186 articles, 167 were excluded during duplicate removal (n = 45), title and abstract screening (n = 106), seeking for full-text articles (n = 2), and full-text screening (n = 14). Nineteen articles were included for extraction and synthesis. Three topics (health status, causes of homelessness and effects of homelessness on health, healthcare and social services) were summarised. The included studies described mental health (e.g., depression, suicide, alcohol and drug dependence), physical health (e.g., poor self-hygiene, injuries, accidents), and health behaviours (e.g., alcohol drinking, substance use, unsafe sex). Social behaviours and health problems linked to homelessness, and several factors related to health and living conditions (e.g., stigma, discrimination) were reported. People experiencing homelessness had some barriers to access to healthcare and social services (e.g., health insurance, social welfare, financial difficulties).
Conclusions: The majority of studies on health-related issues in people experiencing homelessness in Thailand are descriptive studies. Future studies should focus on the interactions and mechanisms between homelessness and health.
