Efforts escalate to protect homeless people from COVID-19 in UK

Across the UK, a large team is working at breakneck speed to put in place systems to protect homeless people from the potentially devastating effects caused by coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Homeless people often have multiple chronic conditions and live together in shared and cramped accommodation, or on the streets; they are, therefore, vulnerable to high rates of infection and mortality without urgent intervention. There are an estimated 30 000–40 000 homeless people sleeping rough or in temporary hostel accommodation in the UK, among the 320 000 total people classified as homeless by the homeless charity Shelter (which includes those in temporary flats and other forms of accommodation).

On the whole, there is no difference between different units and different genders.

Shared accommodation as a globalization trend in tourism

Modern tourism trends have a distinctly global character. They include the use of online tourism service platforms and the sharing of services based on sharing economy. Governments and municipalities create regulatory measures to operate in accordance with the destination’s municipal, financial, security, and tourism interests to ensure transparency and a level playing field for entrepreneurship.

Psychosocial Response to COVID-19 in Africa, with Special Reference to Kenya

On 11 March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) outbreak a global pandemic. The coronavirus has affected different aspects of people's lives in different ways from physical isolation, job losses, schools, offices shutting down, etc., These changes have had an impact on people's emotional, psychological, spiritual, and physical well-being. The country has seen 2021 infections, 482 recoveries, and 69 people succumbing due to coronavirus as of May 31, 2020. The Kenyan government has taken measures to stop the spread of the disease, but this has come with its challenges as a large number of Kenyans rely on day-to-day income, live in shared accommodation, thus making social distancing a nearly impossible task to achieve. These factors among others have raised the fears of the expected impact on psychosocial needs and response during the COVID-19 period. It is likely that governments have focused on how to stop the spread of coronavirus and finding a cure, that attention on the psychosocial impact of the coronavirus has not been given the needed attention. This review has been done to examine the psychosocial responses undertaken by the Kenyan government and its stakeholders during the COVID-19 pandemic. The gaps likely to be felt by vulnerable populations have also been examined. There is a need to develop measures that will address the psychosocial stressors faced by the vulnerable populations. There will be a need for mental health services long after COVID-19 is managed and a working vaccine is developed; thus, the development and implementation of integrative treatment and services is imperative.

This study is focused on changes in the accommodation services market affected by shared accommodation platforms. The housing services market in the Czech Republic is segmented complexly. Traditional types of accommodation including hotels, pensions and hostels are using digital platforms such as Trivago, Booking, TripAdvisor, etc. only to mediate offered short-term housing services. The offer of so-called shared accommodation has expanded considerably. One of the most widespread is a digital platform Airbnb acting as an accommodation service provider mediating private immovable properties as well as collective accommodation facilities.

Fears and Difficulties Experienced by Ukrainian Nationals During Their Period of Study in Poland

The overall aim of this study is to review problems relating to the acculturation of Ukrainian students during their initial period of study abroad in Poland. More importantly, our objective was to recognize the fears and difficulties these students experience and examine the strategies of coping with major stressors. Based on group interviews we identified four themes, which mainly related to the language barrier, social isolation, discrimination, and financial issues. Our results show that the main acculturation strategy among the students in our sample was integration rather than assimilation, marginalization, or separation. Our respondents actively sought contacts with the locals, for example, by giving up their living quarters in the socially isolated and remote university campus and renting shared accommodation in the city, which made it possible for them to maintain closer links with their Ukrainian friends and to receive social support while also staying open to establishing relationships with Poles and having more opportunities to improve their Polish. At the same time, these students maintained their contacts with family and friends abroad through the Internet. This study also suggests the ways for higher education institutions to improve the services rendered to international students and to support their integration into a new community.

A home of one’s own? Housing welfare for ‘young adults’ in times of austerity

This article considers how welfare cuts in ‘austerity Britain’ have impacted young adults’ access to a home of their own, asking at what stage in the life-course should the welfare state be expected to support someone’s residential independence? The article focuses on the 2012 changed age-threshold for the Shared Accommodation Rate of Local Housing Allowance, which meant that single people (without dependants) aged between 25 and 34 are only entitled to claim the cost of a single room in a shared property. This policy has highlighted the issue of forced sharing, and poses questions as to whether a shared property with strangers can necessarily always be considered a home. The article identifies the persistence of normative conceptions of household transition across the life-course. Ultimately the article concludes that these normative assumptions enable policy makers to promote this policy as a matter of ‘fairness’ rather than a form of social injustice.

Social learning, shared accommodation and interprofessional education: I think those conversations that you have at the dinner table …

Abstract Background Little is known about the impact of social or informal learning and whether or not this influences the outcomes of formal IPE learning. Purpose This study explored if and what students on a rural immersion IPE programme report regarding shared living arrangements. Method Independently gathered qualitative survey and focus group data with descriptive interpretive analysis. Results A qualitative survey question querying the most valuable aspects of the programme found many students highlighted the value of shared accommodation. There were five themes in the focus group data: Having fun together (yet learning); Formal learning through informal social interaction; Learning conflict resolution skills; It only goes so far: limitations to shared living arrangements; Not all living together has a negative impact. Discussion While only feasible in some IPE programmes, living together in shared accommodation appears to have a powerful impact on student learning and augments the formal IPE components.

Exploring Social Outcomes of Interactions between University Students and Waala Communities in the Wa Municipality, Ghana

In the context of social integration theory, this paper explores the social outcomes of interactions between university students and indigenous Waala communities in the Wa Municipality, northwestern Ghana. Drawing on results from focus group discussions and in-depth interviews, weposit that social integration outcomes have been both positive and negative, the latter being predominant. In the positive domain, university students from varied ethnic backgrounds are socially accepted to live in shared rental accommodation by indigenous Waala families and by extension allowing for modest cross-cultural learning’s and exchanges. University students, especially female students serve as role models in education to Waala youth, particularly, young girls – inspiring them to attain higher education. In the negative domain, the outcomes include conflicts between students and Waala families over varied ways of life, conflicts over rents and ejection of students from rental apartments, exploitation of studentsthrough application of higher rents and market prices ofconsumer goods and finally, increasing incidences of love relationships between students and indigenes leading to social tensions and undesirable outcomes. We therefore, arguethat integration of students into the Waala community has been partial and underpinned by differentiated ways of lives, culture and conflicts that has undermined the process of acculturation. Thus, the paper advocates an integrated approach to Municipal Development Planning (MDP) through multi – stakeholder engagement for the promotion of education, platforms for dialogue, and strengthening institutions for dealing with emerging issues and conflicts arising from the processes of social integration.

Reduced availability of, and access to, affordable accommodation coupled with housing benefit reductions, particularly for single people under the age of 35, make it inevitable that more people will require shared accommodation as a financially viable solution to their housing needs. However, there is a reluctance to enter into sharing, particularly with 'strangers', and many members of vulnerable groups face challenges such as living with others, gaining access to the private rented sector, and sustaining tenancies. In response to these challenges, the Sharing Solutions Programme, run by Crisis and funded by the Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG), recently piloted, developed and promoted new models for establishing successful sharing arrangements for single people in housing need. This paper draws on findings from an evaluation of that programme, alongside the literature on shared accommodation, to identify a number of potential barriers to making shared accommodation work, and ways in which these may be overcome. A range of factors are identified as pivotal in the success of sharing in the private rented sector, including changing perceptions of sharing, managing shared properties and supporting tenants. While the paper concludes that sharing can be a viable option for some, it simultaneously recognises the significant resources required to make it successful for tenants.

Stability and change: the role of keepsakes and family homes in the lives of parentally bereaved young adults in the Netherlands

This paper examines the loss of a parent in young adulthood, showing how this emergent and distinctive life stage shapes Dutch young people’s experience of bereavement. Youth material cultures have commonly been analysed in terms of the construction and expression of youth identities, for example, through style, music and leisure. In this research, we highlight three themes in young people’s relationship to material culture as part of their everyday lived experience of parental loss: first, the parental home as a space of departure, memory and return, and the potential for conflict, destabilisation and misunderstanding when the remaining parent transforms the home or embarks on a new relationship; second, the different strategies young adults use to commemorate their parent in their own temporary or shared accommodation and online space; and third, the role of small, portable but effective keepsakes and adornment, such as jewellery or tattoos, that meet their need for the emotional experience of closeness with the memory of their parent. A focus on the material trajectories of grief grants insights into how young adults cope with loss in their everyday life, generating understanding of the ways young people may support themselves and be supported by others in the context of parental bereavement.

Older inpatients' room preference: single versus shared accommodation.

The Royal Victoria Hospital, a geriatric medicine assessment and rehabilitation hospital in Edinburgh, was re-provided into a new 130 bed purpose-built unit on the Western General Hospital site in June 2012. All patient rooms in the new unit are single occupancy with en-suite facilities. We surveyed inpatients on their room preference in 2008 and repeated the survey with inpatients in the new unit in 2013. Patients were asked whether they would prefer to be in a shared room or a single room and to explain the reason behind their choice. They were also asked whether they would prefer to eat their meals in a day/dining room or by their bed. The patients in the 2013 survey were also questioned as to whether they felt lonely in their single room. Forty-three inpatients agreed to participate in the 2008 survey and 46 in the 2013 survey. All had an abbreviated mental test score≥8/10. In 2008, those surveyed had a mean age of 78. In 2013, the mean age was 83. In 2008, 37.2% of patients expressed a preference for single room accommodation, whereas in 2013, 84.8% said that they preferred a single room. The majority of patients, 60.5% in 2008 and 76.1% in 2013, preferred to eat their meal at their bedside. Only 8.7% of patients in 2013 would consider eating in a day/dining room compared with 34.9% in 2008. In the 2013 survey, 60.9% of patients reported that they never felt lonely in a single room. The benefits of single room versus multi-occupancy room hospital accommodation has been recently debated. The results from our survey indicate a marked difference in the preference for a single room between 2008 and 2013. The introduction of open visiting and care rounding has reduced the risk of isolation in single rooms. Our survey introduces new discussion about social isolation, privacy, noise levels and patient well-being and recovery.

Single and shared accommodation for young patients in hospital

This study explores the suitability of 100 per cent single room occupancy for children and young people admitted to hospital in terms of their safety, socialisation and development, and demands on the workforce. A literature search, a sabbatical at Boston Children's Hospital in the United States by the author and surveys of health professionals, children and young people have shown that shared rooms should remain available.
