Abstract

Young people leaving alternative care in Serbia face numerous challenges while they frequently lack formal and informal support for emancipation. Resilience and preparedness for leaving care increase their chances for successful transition and social integration. This article aims to understand the resilience of youth leaving care in Serbia and the relationship between resilience, type of placement (foster, residential or kinship) and preparedness for leaving care. Quantitative analysis of replies 134 adolescents leaving alternative care had made in self-assessment questionnaires showed: high resilience scores of subjects, lower resilience of youth leaving residential than foster care and interconnectedness between the resilience and most of the indicators of preparedness for emancipation. Results suggest that resilience: (a) could be fostered by improving mental health, structured leisure time, self-care and social skills, and by quality foster carers' support; (b) contributes to positive feelings and general positive attitude toward life; (c) is not connected to school achievements and support by family and other caregivers; (d) of care leavers had more to do with their skills to gain social support than with receiving support from family and the alternative care system. Future research could investigate emancipation outcomes of youth with different baseline resilience and preparedness levels.

摘要

在塞尔维亚，选择替代性照料的年轻人面临许多挑战，而他们常常缺乏正式和非正式的解放支持。离开医疗机构的应变能力和应变能力增加了他们成功过渡和融入社会的机会。本文旨在了解塞尔维亚青年离职的复原力以及复原力，安置类型（寄养，居住或亲属关系）与离职准备程度之间的关系。自我评估调查问卷中对134名离开替代性护理的青少年的定量分析表明：受试者的适应力得分高，与寄养相比，留守青年的适应力较低，适应力与大多数解放准备指标之间存在关联。结果表明弹性：（a）可以通过改善心理健康，有组织的休闲时间，自我保健和社交技能以及高质量的养护者支持来促进；（b）有助于产生积极的情感和对生活的总体积极态度；（c）与家庭和其他照顾者的学业成就和支持无关；（d）离开学校的人与其获得社会支持的技能有关，而不是获得家庭和替代性照护系统的支持。未来的研究可以调查具有不同基线适应能力和准备水平的年轻人的解放成果。（c）与家庭和其他照顾者的学业成就和支持无关；（d）离开学校的人与其获得社会支持的技能有关，而不是获得家庭和替代性照护系统的支持。未来的研究可以调查具有不同基线适应能力和准备水平的年轻人的解放成果。（c）与家庭和其他照顾者的学业成就和支持无关；（d）离开学校的人与其获得社会支持的技能有关，而不是获得家庭和替代性照护系统的支持。未来的研究可以调查具有不同基线适应能力和准备水平的年轻人的解放成果。
