Abstract

ABSTRACT Issues related to problems with institutional models of care for at-risk children in India have long been addressed by conversations around de-institutionalization. Researchers, however, believe that despite the benefits of family-based alternative care, there are multiple practical constraints in the stated transition. Fostering resilience among institutionalized children has been considered a worthier goal for intervention. The purpose of this study was to understand the pattern of resilience among adolescents with experience of family disruption due to parental loss and resultant relocation to an institutional set-up. Study 1 utilized semi-structured interviews with eight institutional caretakers in the age range of 28–50 years, and study 2 involved focus groups with 19 resilient adolescents in the age range of 14–19 years. Data from the both studies was thematically analyzed. Findings showed that against the backdrop of pre-admission adversities, resilience was conceptualized as a realization about the need to achieve in life and acquisition of a set of culturally sanctioned behavioral attributes. Resources within the institutional context itself were found to have fostered these resilient outcomes. Our findings suggest that by offering resident children needed resources, institutional care holds the potential to provide a permanent and stable living arrangement when other options are unfeasible.

印度孤儿和生活在机构护理中的青少年的复原力概念

摘要：长期以来，围绕去机构化的对话一直在解决与印度高危儿童护理机构模式问题有关的问题。然而，研究人员认为，尽管基于家庭的替代护理有好处，但在所述的过渡过程中存在多种实际限制。培养被收容儿童的复原力被认为是一个更有价值的干预目标。本研究的目的是了解因父母离异而经历家庭破裂的青少年的复原力模式，并由此迁移到机构。研究1对年龄在28-50岁之间的8名机构看护人进行了半结构化访谈，研究2对年龄在14-19岁之间的19名有韧性的青少年进行了重点小组访谈。对两项研究的数据进行了主题分析。研究结果表明，在入院前的逆境背景下，韧性被概念化为对生活中实现目标的必要性的认识，并获得一系列文化认可的行为特征。研究发现，体制环境本身的资源促成了这些富有弹性的结果。我们的研究结果表明，通过为住院儿童提供所需的资源，在其他选择不可行的情况下，机构护理有可能提供永久稳定的生活安排。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
