on the result of those conclusion, the study suggests some proposals as follow.
First, the study found that the entire sub-factor of ego-resilience has a positive effect on psychosocial adaptation. And through the impact on sub-factor of psychosocial adaptation, the sub-factor of ego-resilience has been the foundation to use developing concrete programs in practice social welfare. In the concrete, developing the improving self confidence programs is needed to adapt depression and anxiety ;training efficient relationship ability to social shrinking, controling rage program to violence, counseling program of improving the optimistic view to misconduct.

In the concrete, the programs to improve the awareness of the community and happy birthday event in the school or revitalizing cultural activities could help it.
Forth, a plan for helping the adolescents of the weak family structure to adapt psycho-socialy seems to be needed. without their parents, they can not take continuous support. so they need the support of third's person taking care of them. and not the quantity but the quality of social support need to be improved to induce them to adapt it psycho-socialy.
