“…The search for charitable organizations, churches, and commercial establishments such as restaurants and gas stations, shows the networks they have formed to meet their needs related to food, rest, and body hygiene. This fact is in agreement with a study conducted in Brazilian capitals with adults in street situations (5,22,25) .…”

“…Freedom, considered by the study group as the wish to get rid of the habit of taking alcohol and other drugs, was reported by the participants. The abusive use of psychoactive substances remains and is aggravated by the experiences on the streets (5) , leading to an interruption in this link through admission to rehabilitation clinics, a wish of many people in street situations to restore their family life. However, the literature states that the admission of people in street situations can be considered ineffective, especially when it occurs involuntarily (32) , given the complexity involved in recovering from psychoactive substance abuse.…”

“…The street context is characterized by singular experiences, usually related to family disruptions and behaviors resulting from abusive use of psychoactive substances (alcohol and other drugs), loneliness, fear, emotional, physical and sexual violence, maltreatment, exposure to crime, financial exploitation, and unemployment or unsuccessful migration in search of better opportunities for survival (5) .…”

Objective: To understand the needs, expectations, and care production of people in street situations. Method: This is a qualitative study based on social phenomenology, conducted with eight people in street situations. Data were collected through a phenomenological interview from September to December, 2016. Results: The needs of participants refer to survival and access to health services. Care production involves physico-biological, spiritual, and affective-social aspects. The expectations of these people involve a desire for health care that considers their singularities and offers them social apparatuses. Final considerations: This study has contributions to the practice, training on health, and nursing in collective health, regarding care planning and provision to the population in street situations based on their expectations and lifestyles, considered as tools to help fulfill the health needs of this social group.

“…For participants, abstaining from alcohol contributes to positive attitudes in self-care, such as eating, bathing, sleeping, working, preventing oneself. Studies carried out with HP on the use of alcohol and other drugs indicate that this behavior is an alternative for street survival (7,(35)(36)(37) . The words "good relations" were the third most evoked, revealing the need to avoid confusion, not to fight, know what to see and what to speak on the streets, as well as to define who to hang around with, thus protecting themselves from situations of violence and/or trouble.…”

et al. 2020

Objectives: To capture and analyze the structure of homeless people's social representations about self-care. Methods: Research based on the theory of social representations, with 122 people in street situation. A semistructured questionnaire and free evocation technique were applied with the inducing words "caring for myself is". The evocations were processed by the software Evoc and Iramuteq, allowing to identify central and peripheral elements and the connection between them. Results: For the group studied, "feeding oneself, personal hygiene, protecting oneself and visiting the doctor" are actions and attitudes that represent caring for themselves. In the streets, "feeding oneself" is an essential action for living/surviving that underpins the others. Final considerations: Despite behaviors based on the biomedical model, self-care was represented by extended actions to meet basic human needs. This study offers elements of reflection to rethink care practices developed by health professionals. Descriptors: Homelessness; Word Association Tests; Nurses; Self-Management; Vulnerable Populations. RESUMOObjetivos: apreender e analisar a estrutura das representações sociais de pessoas em situação de rua sobre o cuidado de si. Métodos: pesquisa fundamentada na teoria das representações sociais, com 122 pessoas em situação de rua. Aplicou-se questionário semiestruturado e técnica de evocações livres com o termo indutor "cuidar de mim é". As evocações foram processadas pelos softwares Evoc e Iramuteq, permitindo identificar elementos centrais, periféricos e a conexidade entre eles. Resultados: para o grupo pesquisado, "se alimentar, ter higiene pessoal, se prevenir e ir ao médico" são ações e atitudes que representam o cuidado de si. Nas ruas, "se alimentar" é uma ação essencial para (sobre)vivência que sustenta as demais. Considerações finais: apesar de comportamentos pautados no modelo biomédico, o cuidado de si foi representado por ações ampliadas para satisfazer as necessidades humanas básicas. Esse estudo oferece elementos de reflexão para repensar práticas de cuidado desenvolvidas por profissionais de saúde.

“…Outro estudo buscou conhecer os modos de vida e os motivos que levaram as pessoas à situação de rua (Donoso, Bastos, Faria, & Costa, 2013). O rompimento do vínculo familiar e o uso de drogas foram os principais motivos.…”

O presente artigo objetivou realizar uma revisão sistemática das pesquisas empíricas sobre pessoas em situação de rua. Foram consultadas as bases de dados (Lilacs, Medline, Ibecs, Redalyc, PePSIC) para identificar as pesquisas publicadas no período de 2011 a 2016. Identificaram-se 23 artigos que foram categorizados: 1. Aspectos sociodemográficos e macro determinantes; 2. Processo saúde e doença; 3. Modos de vida e significações e 4. Identidade social. Destacou-se o aumento da população em situação de rua e aspectos da vulnerabilidade social: uso de álcool e drogas, relatos de violência, o cotidiano de morar nas ruas, a discriminação, a fragilização de vínculos familiares, e as transformações nas identidades que repercutem na exclusão social. Trata-se de uma temática de estudo que possibilita a análise de aspectos psicossociais para o desenvolvimento de projetos de intervenção voltados para a integralidade do cuidado.
