“…It is known that adolescents in contact with the child welfare services show poor educational outcome [1,56,57]. Therefore, many adolescents living in RYC institutions could just have ''given up'' on school and consequently do not put much emphasis on it.…”

Purpose Many adolescents living in residential youth care (RYC) institutions perceive their quality of life (QoL) to be low. Enhancing QoL is thus important, but little is known about the potential contributors to their QoL. Early interpersonal trauma and subsequent removal from home and repeated relocations to new placements are expected to affect mental health and self-esteem. We therefore investigated if domain-specific self-esteem contributed to QoL among adolescents living in RYC institutions over and beyond their levels of psychopathology. Methods All youth in Norwegian RYC institutions between the ages 12-23 years were invited to participate. Of a total of 98 RYC institutions, 86 participated, and 400 of 601 eligible youths were examined. The participants' primary contact completed the Child Behavior Checklist to assess psychopathology. The adolescents completed a revised version of the Self-Perception Profile for Adolescents and the questionnaire for measuring health-related quality of life in children and adolescents (KINDL-R). Results After adjusting for psychopathology, age, and gender, self-esteem domains uniquely explained 42% of the variance in Qol, where social acceptance (b = 0.57) and physical appearance (b = 0.25) domains significantly predicted concurrent QoL. Conclusions The self-esteem domains, social acceptance and physical appearance, add substantially to the explained variance in QoL among adolescents living in RYC institutions, over and beyond the levels of psychopathology. These self-esteem domains may be targets of intervention to improve QoL, in addition to treating their psychopathology.

“…Videre viser forskning at tidligere barnevernsklienter ofte fungerer dårligere sosialt har en dårligere sosial fungering og har flere psykiske helseproblemer enn barn og unge generelt. Det viser seg også at barn som har vaert barnevernsklienter, fullfører utdanning i lavere grad, har lavere inntekt som voksne, oftere er arbeidsledige og oftere mottar sosialhjelp enn voksne uten en slik forhistorie (Backe-Hansen mfl., 2014;Clausen & Kristoffersen, 2008).…”

“…Regarding the great need of young people leaving care (e.g. Clausen, & Kristofersen, 2008;Stein, 2004;Vinnerljung, 2006), and the fact that many young people living with their birth parents are given help long after turning 18 years (Courtney, Dworsky, & Pollack, 2007;Hellevik, 2005), it is questionable whether a number of youths are provided with the assistance needed. The most common assistance given to youths between 18 and 23 years comprises financial support, continuing foster care and housing.…”

“…During 2006, 7000 children and youths were in care, most of them in foster care. The number of youths provided with assistance from child welfare services is reduced by 50% every year after the youths become 17 years old (Clausen & Kristofersen, 2008;Kristofersen, Sverdrup, Haaland, & Wang Andresen, 2006). This implies that many young care leavers are not given support after becoming 18 years old.…”
