“…Nevertheless, our finding that foster placements of unaccompanied refugee children did not demonstrate significant improvements over time with respect to the child and fostering factors, as well as placement success, is in line with the results of previous studies conducted within the context of regular foster care (e.g., Goemans et al, 2015;Lipscombe et al, 2004;Vanderfaeillie et al, 2013). However, these findings contrast with those of Leloux-Opmeer et al (2018), who found that 67% of children exhibited favourable psychosocial development in regular foster care in the first year of placement.…”

“…Furthermore, the longer the follow-up period, the less convincing TRC effects are (Frensch & Cameron, 2002; Harder & Knorth, 2015; Knekt et al, 2016; Scherrer, 1994). There is even evidence that nonresidential youth care is more effective in terms of mental health problems than residential youth care (Gutterswijk et al, 2020; Strijbosch et al, 2015), but quasi-experimental longitudinal research also contests this view (Leloux-Opmeer, 2018). Therefore, more research on how TRC can achieve positive outcomes is necessary.…”

Previous research has shown that social climate (SC) is important for the daily life of youths living in therapeutic residential youth care (TRC). However, little is known on how SC can promote a positive quality of life (QoL) for the heterogeneous TRC population. This study, therefore, investigates how TRC and youth characteristics are associated with SC and QoL. We employed a combination of person-centered and variable-centered approaches in a cross-sectional design using a sample of 400 Norwegian youths. We used previously established TRC and youth classes in a structural equation model, where these classes were regressed on latent SC and QoL. Both direct and indirect effects were analyzed. All youth classes were associated with SC and QoL, such that youth with family problems, incidental problems, and the migrant background class scored higher on SC and QoL compared to the severe problems class. In addition, SC mediated the association of the incidental problems and migrant background classes on QoL. TRC staff should acknowledge that a positive SC

Background Given the impact of growing up in vulnerable families on opportunities in life and the large numbers of families with severe parenting and child functioning problems who repeatedly receive some form of youth care, it is important to investigate the long-term outcomes of the provided care. Objective This study aimed to investigate whether outcomes endure over a longer period of time, by exploring the effects of family-focused youth care on child, parental and family functioning at the end of care and at follow-up moments. Method A systematic search was conducted in three databases (Psycinfo, Web of Science and ERIC), using search terms matching youth care and long-term effects. Effects between start and end of care, between end and follow up moments and between start and follow up moments on child, parent and family functioning were systematically mapped out. Results Twenty-six articles were included describing effects of family-focused youth care at post treatment and at least one follow-up moment. The results demonstrated positive outcomes in short and longer term as improvement was found in child, parent and family functioning at the end of care and follow-up moments. Conclusions Despite the positive outcomes, determining long-term effects of youth care turned out to be difficult, as most studies organize follow-up moments within one year of the end of care. Moreover, there may also be an intertwined effect of the provided and possible follow-up care. More longitudinal research with follow-up moments over multiple years is required to investigate the durability of outcomes.
