Regardless of the type of residential care context, entering in care is an impactful event that involves the separation of young people from their relatives, as well as the need to adapt to a new context. This adaptation might be facilitated by the quality of relationships with professionals in these settings, which in turn may positively impact young people’s psychological adjustment.

Purpose: The current systematic review aims to identify the factors that might be associated with quality relationships in residential homes (i.e., generalist care, therapeutic care, juvenile justice settings) at different ecological levels.

Method: A systematic electronic search was conducted in eight databases: Academic Search Complete, APA PsycArticles, APA PsycINFO, Psychology and Behavioral Sciences Collection, ERIC, MEDLINE, Web of Science and Scopus, using a combination of words related with quality relationship, residential care, children, and adolescent. Based on the PRISMA statement, 919 manuscripts were yielded, and thirteen studies met the inclusion criteria.

Results: Child (e.g., gender or age), professionals (e.g., professionals’ characteristics, behaviors, and skills), organizational (e.g., Ratios of children to professionals on staff) and cross-cutting factors (e.g., time spent together, length of relationship) were found to be associated with quality relationships between professionals and young people in care.

Discussion: The residential care settings should be able to provide appropriate resources and services which address young people’s complex needs. Practical implications are discussed.

无论住宿护理环境的类型如何，进入护理是一个有影响力的事件，涉及年轻人与其亲属的分离，以及适应新环境的需要。在这些环境中与专业人士的关系质量可能会促进这种适应，这反过来可能会对年轻人的心理适应产生积极影响。

目的：当前的系统评价旨在确定可能与不同生态水平的寄宿家庭（即通才护理、治疗护理、少年司法环境）中的质量关系相关的因素。

方法：在八个数据库中进行了系统的电子搜索：Academic Search Complete、APA PsycArticles、APA PsycINFO、Psychology and Behavioral Sciences Collection、ERIC、MEDLINE、Web of Science 和 Scopus，使用与质量关系、住宅护理相关的词组合、儿童和青少年。根据PRISMA声明，产生了 919 份手稿，其中 13 项研究符合纳入标准。

结果：儿童（例如，性别或年龄）、专业人员（例如，专业人员的特征、行为和技能）、组织（例如，儿童与员工中专业人员的比率）和交叉因素（例如，在一起的时间、长度）关系）被发现与专业人员和接受护理的年轻人之间的质量关系有关。

讨论：住宿护理机构应能够提供适当的资源和服务，以满足年轻人的复杂需求。讨论了实际意义。
