| Resumo: | The homeless population is a group potentially vulnerable to the development of COVID-19,
due to drug use, poor diet, barriers to accessing health services, difficulty in sheltering,
causing them to crowd together, making them more susceptible to communicable diseases.
Thus, we sought to analyze the care provided to the homeless population with Covid-19 in the
perception of users and health professionals. This is a descriptive study with a qualitative
approach. The data were processed with the support of the IRaMuTeQ 0.6 alpha 3 software,
giving rise to similarity and word cloud analyses. Thematic analysis was also used, according
to Bardin. The research was approved by the Research Ethics Committee of the Universidade
da Integração Internacional da Lusofonia Afro-Brasileira, with opinion No. 4,787,355 and
CAAE No. 42997021.7.0000.5576. The study was carried out from May to July 2021, in a
capital city in northeastern Brazil. Five professionals from the Consultório na Rua and 31
people living on the streets participated in the research, through a semi-structured interview.
The care provided to the homeless population with Covid-19 in the perception of health
professionals was marked by difficulties and potential. It was identified that the difficulties in
providing care were related to the lack of mobile transport for professionals to travel and
provide health services; difficulty in the use of protective supplies, fear of the vaccine against
Covid-19, resistance to social isolation and continuous use of drugs by the population living
on the streets. As for the potential, the active search for respiratory symptoms stood out, in
addition to strategies that minimize bureaucracy for care, health education provided and the
offer of the anti-Covid-19 vaccine. The way of life of the homeless population increased their
vulnerability in the pandemic, however health care was enhanced by the availability of the
office on the street, humanization of care and welcoming care. It is believed that the study
will bring relevant contributions and collaborate in the delimitation of resolutive proposals for
public policies related to the specifics of care for homeless people in the context of Covid-19,
as well as in the face of the possibility of the emergence of new diseases of easy dissemination. |
