Abstract

Purpose The purpose of this study is to explore the contribution of what the authors have termed, “managed opportunities for independence” (MOI) in building the resilience of young people in care. Design/methodology/approach The study used a qualitative, grounded theory methodology. Nine child and youth care workers were purposively sampled from various child and youth and care centres in South Africa. Findings Findings indicate that MOI contribute to the development of resilience of young people in care. Originality/value Care-leaving literature recognizes that too much protection does not adequately prepare young people for independent living. There is also increasing attention to the resilience processes that enable care-leavers to thrive during the transition from care to independent living. However, there is limited empirical research that looks at how in-care programmes develop young people’s resilience. In addition, very little is said about what it means for child and youth care practice. This study’s focus on the contribution of “managed opportunities for independence” in building the resilience of young people in care provides a foundation for understanding the care-leaving process better.
提供有管理的独立机会来培养受照顾的年轻人的韧性:护理人员的看法和经验
目的本研究的目的是探索作者所称的“管理独立机会”(MOI)在培养受照顾年轻人的复原力方面的贡献。设计/方法论/方法该研究采用了定性的、有根据的理论方法论。有目的地从南非的各个儿童、青年和护理中心抽取了9名儿童和青年护理人员。研究结果表明,教学语言有助于培养被护理青年的复原力。独创性/价值观关爱离开文献认识到,过多的保护并不能使年轻人充分做好独立生活的准备。人们也越来越关注让护理离职者在从护理到独立生活的过渡过程中茁壮成长的恢复力过程。然而,关于护理计划如何培养年轻人的复原力的实证研究有限。此外,关于这对儿童和青少年护理实践意味着什么,几乎没有人说。这项研究的重点是“有管理的独立机会”在培养受护理年轻人的复原力方面的贡献,这为更好地理解护理离职过程奠定了基础。
