Health of adolescents after the placement in the residental care institution for the young with emotional and behavioural disorders

Abstract

Health of adolescents after their placement in the residential care institution for the young people with emotional and behavioural disorders will be discussed in this master's thesis. In the theoretical part, the purpose of residential care institutions for education and schooling will be defined as well as the importance and the role of adolescents’ health for achieving the set goals will be emphasized. The main research problem focuses on examining the relation between the health conditions of the young persons and the symptoms, defined by them as a sign of illness after their placement to the residential care institution, which in consequence hinder their involvement in the daily activities and schoolwork. I will research this area in the masters’ thesis and try to discover what is the reason and what this means for the existing state. The research will be qualitative, moreover, the method used will be interviews based on questions prepared for this research only. The sample will include the employed residential care workers and the adolescents from the institution. This area of research is important since only healthy adolescents can be actively involved and can reach the set goals
