摘要
Background: Numerous studies have highlighted the inequitable access to medical and psychiatric care that people experiencing homelessness (PEH) face, yet the surgical needs of this population are not well understood. We sought to assess evidence describing surgical care for PEH and to perform a thematic analysis of the results.Methods: Ovid MEDLINE, Embase, and Web of Science were searched using the terms "surgery" AND "homelessness." Grey literature was also searched. We used a stepwise scoping review methodology, followed by thematic analysis using an inductive approach.Results: We included 104 articles in our review. Studies were included from 5 continents; 63% originated in the United States. All surgical specialties were represented with varying surgical conditions and procedures for each. Orthopedic surgery (21%) was the most frequently reported specialty. Themes identified included characteristics of PEH receiving surgical care, homeless-to-housed participants, interaction with the health care system, educational initiatives, barriers and challenges, and interventions and future strategies.Conclusion: We identified significant variation and gaps, representing opportunities for further research and interventions. Further addressing the barriers and challenges that PEH face when accessing surgical care can better address the needs of this population. Contexte: Si de nombreuses etudes ont souligne l'acces inequitable aux soins medicaux et psychiatriques pour les personnes en situation d'itinerance (PSI), les besoins chirurgicaux de cette population ne sont pas bien compris. Nous avons cherche a evaluer les donnees decrivant les soins chirurgicaux pour les PSI afin de faire une analyse thematique des resultats.Methodes: Les bases de donnees Ovid MEDLINE, Embase, et Web of Science ont ete interrogees avec les termes << surgery >> [chirurgie] ET << homelessness >> [itinerance]. La litterature grise a aussi ete interrogee. Nous avons utilise une methode de synthese exploratoire par etapes, suivie d'une analyse thematique par approche inductive.Resultats: Nous avons inclus 104 articles dans notre revue. Les etudes selectionnees provenaient de 5 continents; 63 % venaient des etats-Unis. Toutes les specialites chirurgicales etaient representees, avec diverses conditions et interventions chirurgicales pour chacune. La chirurgie orthopedique (21 %) etait la specialite la plus souvent rapportee. Les themes releves comprenaient les caracteristiques des PSI recevant des soins chirurgicaux, les personnes participantes passees de l'itinerance au logement, l'interaction avec le systeme de sante, les initiatives d'education, les obstacles et defis, et les interventions et strategies futures.Conclusion: Nous avons decele une variation et des lacunes considerables, qui representent des occasions de recherche et d'interventions. Il faudra s'attaquer davantage aux obstacles et aux defis rencontres par les PSI dans l'acces aux soins chirurgicaux pour mieux repondre aux besoins de cette population.
