Abstract
This qualitative study explores and describes the resilience of homeless older persons in the City of Tshwane, South Africa. Eleven participants, recruited purposively, participated in photovoice activities supplemented with semi-structured interviews. Data were analysed through reflexive thematic analysis and trustworthiness was ensured. Findings indicate that conflict, abuse, family disappointment, unemployment, mental health challenges, declining mobility, isolation and a lack of access to services are risk factors hindering resilience. Religion, support and socialisation, amongst other things, are identified as protective factors enabling resilience. Recommendations for resilience-informed biopsychosocial gerontological social services to homeless older persons are offered to navigate towards better-than-expected outcomes. Keywords: City of Tshwane, gerontological social services, homeless, late-life homelessness, older persons, photovoice, resilience
本定性研究探讨并描述了南非茨瓦内市无家可归的老年人的复原力。有意招募的11名参与者参加了以半结构化访谈为补充的光声活动。数据通过反身性专题分析进行分析，并确保可信度。调查结果表明，冲突、虐待、家庭失望、失业、心理健康挑战、流动性下降、孤立和无法获得服务是阻碍复原力的风险因素。宗教、支持和社会化，以及其他因素，被认为是增强复原力的保护因素。为无家可归的老年人提供了关于恢复力的生物心理社会老年社会服务的建议，以获得比预期更好的结果。关键词:City of Tshwane，老年社会服务，无家可归者，晚年无家可归者，老年人，photovoice, resilience
