Summary

This concerns the participation of individuals experiencing homelessness, as a disadvantaged group, in meaningful and purposeful occupations, evaluated within the framework of occupational justice. Homeless individuals face numerous social and economic barriers that impact their full participation in societal occupations. However, since survival becomes the primary goal for homeless individuals, meaningful occupations often revolve around surviving on the streets. The aim is to identify problems and constraints to participation in daily life activities so that their participation can be enhanced.

Detailed description

"The data collection tools will be implemented during face-to-face interviews with participants. Interview durations will vary between 45 to 90 minutes. Interviews with individuals who accept the invitation to participate will be conducted in public places such as cafes, parks, and other community areas in the Beyoğlu district. The data collection process, initiated after ethical approval, will be concluded upon reaching a sufficient number of participants. Homeless individuals contacted through the 'Çorbada Tuzun Olsun Derneği' will be informed about the research and invited to participate. Individuals with neurological or psychiatric conditions that hinder communication and collaboration will not be included in the study. Fourteen homeless individuals aged 18 or older, literate, able to communicate and collaborate, and currently living on the European side of Istanbul will be included in the study. Data collection instruments for the study include a Demographic Information Form, Semi-Structured Interview Guide, Canadian Occupational Performance Measure, Occupational Justice Health Questionnaire, World Health Organization Quality of Life Scale Short Form, and Occupational Balance Questionnaire."
