“…Participants in several studies reported experiencing close, family‐like ties in institutional care (Eriksson & Hedberg Rundgren, 2019; Gustafsson et al, 2012; Kaukko & Wernesjö, 2017; Lundberg & Dahlquist, 2012; O'Toole Thommessen et al, 2015; Pastoor, 2017; Wernesjö, 2015) and foster families (Herz, 2019; Kohli et al, 2010; Ní Raghallaigh, 2014; Sirriyeh, 2013; Sirriyeh & Ní Raghallaigh, 2018) and with friends and their families (Bjerneld et al, 2018; Eriksson & Hedberg Rundgren, 2019; O'Toole Thommessen et al, 2017; Pastoor, 2017; Sedmak & Medarić, 2017; Sinha & Uppal, 2009; Wernesjö, 2015), people from non‐governmental organizations and other family‐like guides (De Graeve & Bex, 2016, 2017; Herz & Lalander, 2017). When comparing foster care with institutional care, foster care was found to be a form of housing, where recognitive relationships are more likely to be created (Herz, 2019; Kalverboer et al, 2017; Kohli et al, 2010; Ní Raghallaigh, 2014; Sirriyeh, 2013; Sirriyeh & Ní Raghallaigh, 2018). Further, Bjerneld, Ismail and Puthoopparambil, (2018), Kaukko and Wernesjö (2017), Kohli, Connolly and Warman, (2010) and Lundberg and Dahlquist (2012) emphasized that, from the perspective of recognition, it is vitally important that personal needs are considered in the organization of care and that opportunities exist for the young people involved to participate in everyday decisions concerning their lives.…”
