Establishing goals for young people in residential care (RC) is a gap in the literature, especially in terms of the relationship between family support and resilience. The literature suggests that RC is associated with the breakdown of family relationships, so the possibility of the family playing a positive role in establishing life goals for young people is reduced. However, family support in the context of organization and stability can be assumed to be a protective factor for the formulation of life goals and contribute to the resilient development of young people. This study aimed to analyze the role of family support in the process of setting goals for young people in RC, as well as to analyze the potential mediating role of resilience in the previous association. The sample included 124 young people aged between 12 and 23 years living in RC. The results point to a positive association between family support (autonomy) and the planning of life goals and verify the total mediating effect of resilience in this association. The results are discussed considering attachment theory and the role of the family in the adaptive development of young people. This study's findings provide important indications for developing future interventions.
为寄养机构中的年轻人设定目标在文献中存在空白，尤其是在家庭支持与恢复力之间的关系方面。文献表明，寄养与家庭关系破裂有关，因此家庭在为年轻人确立生活目标方面发挥积极作用的可能性降低。然而，可以假定在组织和稳定性背景下的家庭支持是制定生活目标的一个保护因素，并有助于年轻人的恢复力发展。本研究旨在分析家庭支持在为寄养机构中的年轻人设定目标过程中的作用，以及分析恢复力在先前关联中的潜在中介作用。样本包括124名年龄在12至23岁之间居住在寄养机构的年轻人。结果表明家庭支持（自主性）与生活目标规划之间存在正相关，并验证了恢复力在这种关联中的完全中介作用。结合依恋理论以及家庭在年轻人适应性发展中的作用对结果进行了讨论。本研究的结果为制定未来干预措施提供了重要指示。
