[Factors that influence the prognosis for recovery in psychosocial risk families: the role of child resilience].
Factors that influence the prognosis for recovery in psychosocial risk families: The role of child resilience. This study analyses the indicators, such as child resilience, that influence prognosis for recovery in psychosocial risk families, by examining the combination that better discriminates between a favourable prognosis and an unfavourable one. For this purpose, the evaluation of the prognosis of 418 cases of children and their families (224 two-parents and 194 one-parent) were examined through the Psychosocial Risk Profile of the Family, which was filled in by professionals from social services. The impact level on development, the temporality of the problem, and parents' attitudes about the intervention, their children and the service affected the prognosis of both families. Child resilience selectively influenced the favourable prognosis in two-parent families whereas the risk level affected the unfavourable prognosis in one-parent families. Child resilience was only related to those risk indicators which reflect more continuity of the problem and an accumulation of negative life events, but also to some compensatory factors such as the parents' expectations of the child's future that reflect parental competence.
