“…The prevalence of adolescents within the limit range should give us warning of the risk of suffering externalising and internalising problems in the future. Similarly, there are studies which have demonstrated that adolescents in residential care have a higher risk of suffering emotional and/or behavioural problems than the general population [6,51].…”

This work studies the emotional and behavioural difficulties and the personal wellbeing of adolescents under protective measures. The sample is made up of 151 adolescents in residential care between 11 and 17 years of age. The instruments used were the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) and the Personal Wellbeing Index (PWI). The results indicate that a high percentage of adolescents have emotional and behavioural difficulties. We found a greater presence of behavioural rather than emotional problems in the adolescents. Similarly, we also found that females showed more emotional difficulties than the males. As for personal wellbeing, the results indicate that the adolescents are dissatisfied in several areas of their life, they feel insecure and have a pessimistic view of their future and of their achievements. Furthermore, those adolescents who were admitted to residential care due to something other than child abuse have a greater prosocial behaviour. It can be concluded that the more difficulties the adolescents experience (emotional, behavioural and with their peers), the lower the perception of their personal wellbeing will be. This study allows us to design interventions aimed at promoting psychological wellbeing among these adolescents.

Camuñas et al (2021) investigaron el perfil ejecutivo, emocional y conductual de 121 menores en acogimiento residencial. Pretendían determinar en qué medida las funciones ejecutivas contribuían a los problemas emocionales y de comportamiento en estos menores institucionalizados.…”

y adolescentes ha sido reconocida como un beneficio en la implementación de estrategias de prevención e intervención que ayuden a su desarrollo social y emocional. La metodología aplicada se apoyó en los lineamientos para uma revisión narrativa. Que ellos se presenten perspectivas relevantes sobre evaluación psicológica y lineamientos internacionales em el campo de la salud mental. Con base en la revisión, se sugiere que la evaluación psicológica de niños y adolescentes tiene los siguientes beneficios principales: (1) contribuye a la promoción de la salud mental y la prevención de los trastornos mentales; (2) aumentar la conciencia sobre los trastornos mentales; (3) prevenir el empeoramiento de los problemas mentales; y (4) proporcionar mecanismos específicos que faciliten su manejo emocional y conductual, a través de programas de prevención.

“…Slični rezultati su dobijeni i na uzorku usvojene dece (Wretham & Woolgar, 2017) i dece koja žive u hraniteljskim porodicama (Carrera, Jiménez-Morago, Román, & León, 2019) ili malim domskim zajednicama (Camuñas, Vaíllo, Mavrou, Brígido, & Quintana, 2020). Primenom BRIEF skale utvrđeno je da ova deca imaju povišene skorove na svim skalama i kompozitnim skorovima, nezavisno od toga da li je reč o deci mlađeg školskog uzrasta (Carrera et al, 2019;Wretham & Woolgar, 2017) ili o adolescentima (Camuñas et al, 2020). Ipak, njihova postignuća su nešto bolja nego kod našeg uzorka institucionalizovane dece, a specifične teškoće su nešto drugačije distribuirane.…”

Institucionalno zbrinjavanje dece bez roditeljskog staranja predstavlja značajan faktor rizika za socioemocionalni i kognitivni razvoj. Imajući u vidu da su ranije studije uglavnom bile usmerene na izučavanje karakteristika ponašanja, afektivne vezanosti, pažnje, govorno-jezičkih sposobnosti i intelektualnog funkcionisanja, cilj ovog pilot istraživanja je da se utvrdi nivo razvoja egzekutivnih funkcija (EF) kod institucionalizovane dece tipičnih intelektualnih sposobnosti. Uzorkom je obuhvaćeno dvadeset četvoro dece, oba pola (58,3% dečaka; N=14), uzrasta 8-15 godina (AS=13,5; SD=1,64). Za procenu EF primenjena je BRIEF skala (Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive function), a rezultati su analizirani u odnosu na norme date u priručniku. Dobijeni rezultati ukazuju na to da deca koja žive u instituciji pokazuju značajna odstupanja u nivou razvoja gotovo svih procenjenih aspekata EF, i to između 25% i 83% dece u zavisnosti od subskale. Klinički značajne vrednosti manifestuju se kako u domenu regulacije ponašanja, tako i u oblasti metakognicije koja, sudeći po rezultatima (oko 70% dece odstupa minimum 1,5 SD od proseka), predstavlja oblast koja je posebno osetljiva na uticaj institucionalnog okruženja. U oblasti metakognitivnih sposobnosti najizraženije teškoće detektuju se na subskali kojom se procenjuju planiranje i organizacija (83,3%), a u oblasti bihejvioralne regulacije u domenu mogućnosti fleksibilne izmene ponašanja (70,8%). Uočena je tendencija postizanja lošijih rezultata kod dece koja su u domskom smeštaju do godinu dana u odnosu na decu koja duže borave u domu, a ta razlika je i statistički značajna u domenu fleksibilnosti ponašanja (p=0,033). Kod dece koja žive u instituciji nisu utvrđene polne razlike u nivou razvoja EF. Imajući u vidu značaj EF za socioemocionalno funkcionisanje, adaptivno ponašanje i akademski uspeh, neophodno je sistemski uvrstiti različite programe stimulacije koji bi bili usmereni na razvoj metakognitivnih i regulatornih sposobnosti dece koja žive u instituciji.
