Abstract

Although examining psychosocial well-being is very important for all ages, exploring it in childhood is doubly important because of the aging of the personality at these ages. The target group in this article is the children of care centers, whose welfare challenges are more and it is necessary to investigate them. Here, the source of data collection, or in other words, the research community, is 16 caregivers of childcare centers who were interviewed in the spring of 1401. The method of qualitative study, thematic analysis, and the tool of data collection was the group interview method. . 4 semi-structured focused group interviews were used in this research. Data analysis was done using three-step coding based on the Strauss and Corbin method. Based on the teachings of the qualitative method, four criteria of Lincoln and Goba, including reliability, transferability, acceptability, and verifiability, have been used for the validity and accuracy of the work. Finally, they have become three final categories, from which the primary content is abstracted, and finally, they form three final themes, which include emotional-psychological impasses, fragile social well-being, and the dominance of negative reality over positive expectation. Based on the findings, it can be said; The psycho-social well-being of children in boarding centers is not favorable and their care has been reduced to basic needs and they do not consider current and future favorable conditions, so there is a need for comprehensive programs that meet all the needs of children and their ability to Consider a redesign.
