Psychological Well-Being, Risk, and Resilience of Youth in Out-Of-Home Care and Former Foster Youth

Abstract: This study assesses psychological well-being, risk, and resilience of youth currently in-care and former foster youth and how preparation for independent living affects these factors. Findings suggest significant psychosocial distress for former foster youth. Youth currently in-care fared better but demonstrated high scores on measures suggesting risk and potential for future mental health challenges. For former foster youth, independent living preparation positively impacted well-being. The more preparation f… Show more

“…Historically, much of the research on highly mobile students has unduly focused on risk factors to the neglect of resilience (Masten et al, 2015). However, subsumed under the risk and resilience framework, an emerging body of research involves elucidating resilience as a process that can concomitantly protect students from the deleterious effects of high mobility and adverse life experiences (Cutuli et al, 2013; Greeno et al, 2019; Griffin et al, 2019).…”

Ante estas circunstancias, Delgado (2021) advierte la conexión entre las experiencias socioemocionales adversas de estos jóvenes con carácter previo al cuidado, y las posteriores dificultades que afrontan en diferentes terrenos, recalcando, que constituye una población especialmente vulnerable a causa de factores prenatales, relacionales y por la propia experiencia en el sistema de protección que, como experiencia social, tiene influencia sobre la salud integral de la persona.…”

“…Esta etapa es particularmente estresante y afecta ostensiblemente sobre diversas variables que requieren apoyo e intervención (Greeno et al, 2019;Pirttimaa & Välivaara, 2018), ya que haber sido parte del sistema de protección repercute a lo largo de la vida del joven, influyendo tanto en la trayectoria académica, como en las actividades de las que participa el joven y las relaciones que establece (Llosada-Gistau et al, 2017).…”
