This exploratory research has been conducted with the objective of identifying the beliefs of foster parents towards children in their care and their natural families. Results show that foster parents have a number of beliefs that can harm the optimal exercise of their mandate. The major issues raised concern their initial motivation, their perceptions of the children's needs, their educational strategies, the nuances regarding usual parental role and their positions regarding the natural parents of foster children. This research constitutes a foundation for more adaptative interventions with regards to the context of placement, especially for the development of support and education services for foster parents.
这项探索性研究旨在确定寄养父母对其照料的儿童及其原生家庭的看法。结果表明，寄养父母的一些看法可能会损害其职责的最佳履行。所提出的主要问题涉及其最初动机、对儿童需求的认知、教育策略、与通常父母角色相关的细微差别以及他们对寄养儿童亲生父母的态度。这项研究为针对安置情况进行更具适应性的干预奠定了基础，特别是为寄养父母支持和教育服务的发展奠定了基础。
