Esta investiga??o teve como objetivos conhecer as caracter?sticas sociodemogr?ficas dos jovens institucionalizados no Lar de S?o Martinho, na Casa da Crian?as de Santo Ant?nio e Lar ?O Girassol?; conhecer as caracter?sticas relativas ao processo de institucionaliza??o; conhecer as figuras significativas; analisar a rela??o existente entre algumas caracter?sticas sociodemogr?ficas (Idade e G?nero) e a autoestima dos jovens; analisar a rela??o existente entre algumas caracter?sticas relativas ao processo de institucionaliza??o (Motivo de Institucionaliza??o e Tempo de Permanecia na Institui??o) e a autoestima e por ultimo conhecer as expectativas futuras destes jovens. A amostra foi constitu?da por 41 jovens institucionalizados no distrito de Coimbra com idades compreendidas entre 11 e os 22 anos de idade, sendo que 12 eram do sexo feminino e 29 do sexo masculino.
