The purpose of
the study was to explore the experiences and perceptions of health care
providers in an acute care setting delivering care to pregnant women who are
experiencing homelessness.
In recent years,
the number of women experiencing homelessness has significantly increased. In
North America, the emerging homeless profile is that of a younger person and
more often women.
Living in
precarious housing situations increases one’s risk for serious health
conditions. Women who are homeless often experience
complex health issues but many intersecting barriers exist between homeless
women and health care providers, which impacts the care provided.
