  8. Principles of Transition • Collaboration among patients, families and health care practitioners • Based in theories of anticipatory guidance • Dependent on acquisition of self-management skills

  9. Goals • Facilitate uninterrupted, coordinated, developmentally appropriate, comprehensive care • Encourage patient/family to promote independence and self-responsibility • Provide opportunities to develop problem solving, goal-setting and self-advocacy skills • Establish a sense of personal identity with less dependence on parents or other care providers • Anticipatory guidance

  10. Challenges • Medical, social, physical & psychological implications compounded by concurrent transfer of care • Different models of care in pediatric and adult centres • Significant importance placed on the healthcare provider relationship by adolescents/families • Perceive negative difference in the overall quality of care/atmosphere at adult centres

  11. Current Consensus • Pediatric and adult health care teams both play essential roles in the transition experience for adolescent transplant recipients • There is need for a formalized transition program

  12. …However • Although widely agreed that transition interventions are needed- little evidence to support what types of interventions make a difference in the successful transition of youth • Nurses are in a pivotal position to initiate and continue education from the time of diagnosis through to successful transfer

  13. Implications for Research

  14. Other Considerations • Health literacy – how do adolescents interpret and understand the information? • Knowledge translation – what is the best way to communicate with adolescents about self-management and preparing for transition? • Anything else?

  15. Next Step… • Decide on a methodology!
