Awad, H. M. (2023). Place and the structuring of cross-sector partnerships: The moral and material conflicts over healthcare and homelessness. Journal of Business Ethics, 30(11), 532–542. Web.
The author argues that it is necessary to find a reasonable balance between the moral and material components of treatment. Research methods include a cross-sector literature study of sales. The main findings are that due to the increasing number of homeless people, the healthcare burden is also growing.
The paper’s strength lies in the convenient provision of statistical data in the form of charts and tables. The weakness of the paper lies in the juxtaposition of positive and negative sides without a clear conclusion, which fails to lead to a definitive solution. The paper’s relevance to healthcare ethics for people experiencing homelessness lies in its consideration of a moral problem, taking into account its material aspect.

The author argues that focusing on medical care for homeless women will help overcome health inequalities. The research method used was content analysis; the main finding was that special care for homeless women would contribute to the growth of inclusivity. The paper’s strength lies in its reliable theoretical and terminological basis. The weaknesses of the paper are that it has an insufficiently broad sample and a lack of comparison with the healthcare situation affecting male homeless people. The paper focuses on the ethical considerations in delivering medical care to women experiencing homelessness.
Moore-Nadler, M., Clanton, C., & Roussel, L. (2019). Storytelling to capture the healthcare perspective of people who are homeless. Qualitative Health Research, 30(2), 315–322. Web.
The author argues that the current state of the medical field is one of the reasons for the dehumanization of people experiencing homelessness. The research method used is the hermeneutic philosophical approach. The main finding is that the life experience of people experiencing homelessness speaks of an emphatically negative attitude towards them within the framework of healthcare.
The strength of the paper is the observation and detailed survey of real homeless people. The weakness of the paper is the possibility of a twofold interpretation of the information received from the respondents. The paper examines current ethical principles in health care as they apply to individuals experiencing homelessness.
