An Ethnonursing Research Study: Adults Residing in a Midwestern Christian Philosophy Urban Homeless Shelter

Ann O. Hubbert, PhD, RN, CTN

University of Nevada, Reno

The ethnonursing study’s purpose was to explore the subculture of homeless adults residing in one shelter, with discovery of their meanings and experiences of care, or lack of care. Leininger’s theory of culture care was used to identify, analyze, and discuss the cultural care patterns. The findings included themes that were identified in two categories: two themes before shelter residence (no caring practices in their lives) and two themes during shelter residence (acceptance and hope). Ethnonursing discovery contributes to nurses’ knowledge about who the homeless people are and why they are homeless and develops culturally congruent care practices.

Key Words: ethnonursing • culture care theory • midwestern homeless adults • homeless shelter residents
