Abstract

AbstractPurposeThe purpose of this integrative review was to explore the beliefs and practices used to promote physical and mental health among youth ages 18–25 years, identifying as LGBTIQ+ experiencing housing insecurity.MethodThe approach used strategies described by Whittemore and Knafl. Peer‐reviewed, published research articles in English were identified using eight electronic databases. Eighteen research reports using qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods were identified. Articles were evaluated for quality using the American Association of Critical Care Nurses Evidenced‐Level Hierarchy evaluation tool. Data were analyzed and synthesized using Braun and Clarke's method.FindingsFour themes related to the purpose were extracted: pervasive experiences of stigma and discrimination, constantly attuned to navigating risks, inconsistent engagement in health information and care, and inner strength developed through personal and community experiences.DiscussionThere are strong implications for future research, public health nursing practice, and health policy. Public health nurses should incorporate social determinants of health (addressing harmful social processes such as homophobia and racism) as well as a strength‐based upstream approach in research, education, and health care practices. More research must also be done to assess engagement in physical and mental health information and care.
