Los resultados obtenidos, agrupados en subcategorías, muestran su desconocimiento del motivo del ingreso en el centro y cambios posteriores, a la vez que reconocen que fue mejor entrar en el centro que permanecer en casa, y apuntan insufi cientes apoyos para la transición a la vida adulta.

AbstractResearch on residential care is still scarce despite its high implementation in Spain. This article presents the results of a research using qualitative methods. The study analyses the situation experienced by young people who lived in foster care in the province of Girona (1994Girona ( -2002 based on their opinions and perceptions expressed in a semi-structured interview. The results, clustered into subcategories, show lack of knowledge about the reasons why they needed foster care, if it was better being there than staying with their parents, and the lack of support for transition to adulthood. The study shows implications for children and youth policies, professional practice and research.
