Sažetak
Study investigates in what way mental health of children in public care is affected with stress, daily hassles and ways of coping with it. A longitudinal study completed in 2007 (5 years between follow-up) was conducted with 139 children placed in public care. At the first study children were 12.65 years old in average and 17.71 years at the follow-up. In order to establish the level of stress, self-concept and children’ s mental health we used 6 questioners. Regression analysis showed that earlier seeking and getting social support and present more positive self-concept and less daily hassles prevents developing children’ s’ external and internal problems.
