It has considerable negative consequences, namely the deterioration of the family members\u2019 health and well-being, and alterations in the family\u2019s dynamics, with parents sometimes being separated from their children. The aim of this research was to understand how parenting takes place in families experiencing, or at risk of, homelessness. The conducted study falls within the qualitative paradigm, using Strauss and Corbin\u2019s version of the Grounded Theory methodology. Three main categories emerged, supported by all the participating families: \u201cMeaning of Parenthood\u201d, \u201cKey Events\u201d, and \u201cTransition Circumstances\u201d. These categories were translated into facilitating\/inhibiting factors, within the following dimensions: \u201cIndividual\u201d, \u201cFamily\u201d, and \u201cSociety\u201d. We were able to conclude that, in the population under study, parenting is restricted, being mostly exerted in a remote manner. Furthermore, it takes on different forms, depending on the specific homelessness situation\/risk. In families at risk of homelessness, we identified \u201cRemote Parenting with Maintained Parental Authority\u201d, as well as \u201cRestricted Parenting\u201d, when the children still lived with their parents. On the other hand, in families experiencing homelessness, we identified \u201cRemote Parenting with Maintained Parental Authority\u201d, \u201cUnilateral Remote Parenting\u201d, \u201cInterrupted Parenting\u201d, and the \u201cTotal Disruption of Parenting\u201d.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph21091184","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,5]],"date-time":"2024-09-05T06:44:29Z","timestamp":1725518669000},"page":"1184","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Remote Parenting in Families Experiencing, or at Risk of, Homelessness: A Study Based on Grounded Theory"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"21","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5647-1966","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Filipa Maria Reinhardt","family":"Andrade","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Health Sciences and Nursing, Center for Interdisciplinary Research in Health (CIIS), Universidade Cat\u00f3lica Portuguesa, 1649-023 Lisbon, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7189-4118","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ana","family":"Resende","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Health Sciences and Nursing, Center for Interdisciplinary Research in Health (CIIS), Universidade Cat\u00f3lica Portuguesa, 1649-023 Lisbon, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9629-4618","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maria Clara","family":"Roquette-Viana","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Health Sciences and Nursing, Center for Interdisciplinary Research in Health (CIIS), Universidade Cat\u00f3lica Portuguesa, 1649-023 Lisbon, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2908-4052","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Am\u00e9lia","family":"Sim\u00f5es Figueiredo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Health Sciences and Nursing, Center for Interdisciplinary Research in Health (CIIS), Universidade Cat\u00f3lica Portuguesa, 1649-023 Lisbon, Portugal"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Meleis, A.I.
