Homeless mentally ill persons are found to have unhealed injuries and they lack help-seeking behavior, which leads to further deterioration of physical and mental health. In view of the alarming increase in this marginalized population, there is a need to understand their psychosocial needs and enhance their well-being and quality of life. The study aims to understand the psychosocial preparedness of homeless people admitted to a relief and rehabilitation center in Bengaluru.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Methods:<\/jats:title>\n The study followed a descriptive research design with 90 participants (10% of total inmates), 45 participants each falling under the categories of homeless persons with mental illness (HMI) and homeless persons without mental illness (NMI), selected using a simple random sampling method. A semi-structured interview schedule was used for data collection. Statistics procedures used frequency distribution, mean, median, and standard deviations and inferential statistics such as the Chi-square test.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results:<\/jats:title>\n The results of the study show that the majority of the respondents (56% in HMI and 73% in NMI) were male, 62% in HMI and 60% in NMI were literate, 60% in HMI and 86.66% in NMI were employed before institutionalization, 73% in HMI and 69% in NMI belonged to nuclear family. The study also shows that the majority of the HMI (56%) had no plans to start work; however, the majority of the NMI (49%) had plans to start work. Mean scores indicate persons with mental illness have more psychosocial preparedness than persons without mental illness.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Discussion:<\/jats:title>\n The results showed that there was no significant difference between the mean level of psychosocial preparedness among persons with mental illness and persons without mental illness.<\/jats:p>\n
