Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Homelessness is a growing nationwide crisis with significant implications for healthcare. Nurses are frontline workers who play a large role in providing equitable and compassionate care to this vulnerable population. This research investigated the attitudes of registered nurses in Northern California toward patients experiencing homelessness. The study was conducted using a valid and reliable tool, “Attitudes Towards Homeless Inventory” (ATHI) and collecting demographic information. Participants sampled varied from several Northern California hospitals.Results found that a significant portion of respondents associated homelessness with substance abuse, resulting in homelessness as a personal versus societal causation. There seemed to be no differences in scores on the questionnaire based on age, work experience, and unit worked on when comparing attitudes towards personal vs societal causation. Total scores of the ATHI found that nurses with more experience had improved attitudes toward the homeless compared to those with less experience. Older nurses also had improved attitudes toward the homeless.The study highlights the need for interventions to address potential biases towards this population. Given the limited research on nursing attitudes toward homelessness, these findings expose a gap in investigating nursing attitudes regarding this patient population.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
