Transition to adulthood: An essential period in the follow up of young patients

2018, Archives de PediatrieCitation Excerpt :Pediatric care, which is centered around the family, requires a large degree of participation in decision-making on the part of parents and is offered by a multidisciplinary team. On the other hand, adult care focuses on the patient; it requires the patient to have a large degree of autonomy and makes less use of interdisciplinary and intra-family resources [14,15]. Furthermore, few teams (doctors and dieticians) within adult healthcare units are trained in IMDs and the specificities of their care, with the majority being reluctant to accept the responsibility of caring for adolescents, who are considered to be “difficult on the medical level and demanding on the emotional level.”
Transition from children's to adult services for young adults with life-limiting conditions: A realist review of the literature
2017, International Journal of Nursing StudiesCitation Excerpt :However, one of the challenges for young adults in the transition process are the significant differences between children’s and adult services (Hait et al., 2006) in that children’s services typically provide more family focused care with a high level of parental involvement, while adult services are patient focused and expect the patient to have greater independence (McGill, 2002). This cultural gap (van Staa et al., 2011; Rosen, 1995) between children’s and adult services can complicate the transition process for adolescents (Viner, 1999). There is emerging evidence to suggest organised transition protocols and programmes do have measurable benefits for young adults and their parents/carers such as improved clinic attendance, better disease control, reduced hospital admissions and enhanced quality of life for a range of medical conditions (Van Walleghem et al., 2008; McDonagh et al., 2007; Department of Health, 2006; Holmes-Walker et al., 2006).
