10. Summary of thesis results:

(1) Conduct disorder in adolescents living in social protection facilities is understood as a pattern of behavior that is repeated many times in which the basic rights of others, social norms (appropriate for ages 10-18) or the rules of the protection facility where the child lives are violated. Children with conduct disorder have a high frequency of fighting, cruelty to animals or others, destruction of property, playing with fire, stealing, frequent lying, truancy, running away from home, frequent irritability and verbal defiance. Children with conduct disorder often violate social expectations (ages 10-18); often have behaviors that are more serious than the mischievous behavior of their peers or have rebellious behaviors against adults (mothers / aunts or managers at the center). Additionally, these symptoms must persist for six months to meet the criteria for a diagnosis of conduct disorder.

(2) Minors living in social protection facilities show signs of behavioral disorders in terms of aggressive behavior and delinquent behavior.

(3) Lack of communication skills, depressed mood, negative feelings and thoughts about family circumstances, and bullying are factors that contribute to the worsening of behavioral disorders in adolescents living in social protection facilities.

(4) Mutual support, number of close friends, number of times playing with close friends in a week, group activities in the protection facility, and contact with family are influencing factors that contribute to reducing behavioral disorders in adolescents living in social protection facilities.

11. Practical application:

The research results of the thesis are a useful reference for social protection facilities in general to provide preventive and supportive solutions for children with psychological difficulties, especially the group of minors living in social protection facilities.
