4-Role of the nurse regarding homeless population are
a- Create a trusting environment. Trust is essential to the development of a therapeutic
relationship with poor or homeless persons. Many clients and families have been
disappointed by their interactions with health care and social systems; they are
now mistrustful and see little hope for change. By the following through and
doing what they say they will do, nurses can establish trusting relationships with
clients.

Show respect, compassion, and concern. Poor and homeless clients are defeated so
often by life’s circumstances that they may feel that they do not deserve
attention. Listen carefully and empathize with clients so that they believe that
they are worthy of care. Too often, poor and homeless persons are not treated
with respect and dignity by health and social services workers. Since clients
respond well to nursing interactions that demonstrate respect, it is helpful to

7
 use reflective statements that convey acceptance and understanding of their
situation.

Do not make assumptions. A comprehensive and holistic assessment is crucial to

identifying underlying needs. Just because a young mother with three
preschool children misses a clinic appointment does not mean that she does
not care about the health of her children. She may not have transportation,
one child may be sick, or she may be sick find out the reason for the absence
and help solve the problem.

Coordinate a net work of services and providers. The multiple and complex needs of
poor and homeless people make working with them exceedingly challenging.
Developing a coordinated network of providers involves conducting a
thorough assessment of the services area to identify federal, state and local
services available for poor and homeless clients as where are the food banks?
Where can you get clothing? Nurses can identify these services and help link
families with appropriate resources. Nurses serving as case managers can
work with other health care providers and with community members to
advocate for necessary services for homeless clients.

Advocate for accessible health care services. Poverty and homelessness create a
number of barriers that prevent access to health care services. Nurses can
advocate for accessible and convenient locations of health care services.
Neighborhood clinics, mobile vans, and home visits can bring health care to
people unable to access care. Coordinating services at central location often
improves client compliance because it reduces the stress of getting to
multiple places.

8
 Focus on prevention. Nurses can use every opportunity to provide preventive care and
health teaching. Important health promotion topics include child and adult
immunization, and education regarding sound nutrition, foot care, safe sex,
contraception

Develop a network of support for yourself. Caring for poor and homeless persons is challenging,
rewarding, and at time exhausting. It is important to find a source of personal strength, renewal,
and hop
