2017, International Journal of Nursing StudiesCitation Excerpt :Overall, the issues reported related to the transition to adult services were similar across geographical locations and medical conditions, with the exception of variability in the age to transfer to adult services. This is reflected in reports that transition issues are not unique to medical conditions or specific to any one type of provider (Okumura, 2009). Six interventions were identified as associated with a successful transition to adult care, all of which were thought to improve the services on offer and encourage the young adult to engage appropriately with those services, evidenced through attendance at clinics, adherence to medications and disease management plans, with the expectation this will reduce morbidity and mortality (Fair et al., 2011).

2011, Journal of Adolescent HealthCitation Excerpt :Formulating self-management assessments and individual transition plans could really make a difference [4,38]. This study also demonstrates that young people with any chronic illness have many aspects in common [21], thereby supporting the implementation of generic transition readiness assessments such as the new Transition Readiness Assessment Questionnaire (TRAQ) [15]. Apart from age, adolescents' attitude toward transition, and their level of self-efficacy in managing day-to-day self-care and hospital consultations seem to be the keystones to TR.
