Emerging Adulthood

Emerging Adulthood

Jeffrey Arnett's concept of emerging adulthood offers a framework to understand the unique developmental stage between adolescence and full-fledged adulthood, generally from ages 18 to 25. This period is marked by extensive exploration and shifts in identity, relationships, and career choices, a process known in psychology as role experimentation. Emerging adulthood reflects the evolving cultural expectations surrounding adulthood and the dynamic process of personal transformation during this...

Erikson's Theory on Socioemotional Development during Adolescence

Erikson's Theory on Socioemotional Development during Adolescence

Erik Erikson's fifth stage of psychosocial development, "identity versus role confusion," is crucial during adolescence (ages 12 to 18). In this stage, adolescents face the developmental task of forging a distinct personal identity, a process influenced by social, psychological, and biological changes typical of this period. Adolescents naturally explore different roles, behaviors, and ideologies as they navigate complex questions of self-concept, asking, "Who am I?" and "What is my place in...

Erikson's Theory on Socioemotional Development during Adulthood

Erik Erikson's theory of psychosocial development outlines a series of stages through which individuals progress across the lifespan. Each stage involves a psychosocial conflict that significantly influences personal growth and well-being. Three key stages — intimacy versus isolation, generativity versus stagnation, and integrity versus despair — highlight the developmental challenges faced in adulthood.

Theory of Romantic Attachment in Adulthood

Theory of Romantic Attachment in Adulthood

Attachment is a long-standing connection or bond with others. While Attachment Theory was conceived in developmental psychology to describe infant-caregiver bonding, it's been extended into adulthood to include romantic relationships.

Revisionist Views of Adolescent and Adult Cognition

Revisionist Views of Adolescent and Adult Cognition

A revisionist approach to Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive development has brought new insights that challenge and reinterpret his established ideas. Piaget proposed that the formal operational stage, emerging in adolescence, represents the culmination of cognitive maturity. During this stage, individuals are said to develop abstract thinking, engage in systematic problem-solving, and show a form of egocentrism, believing others are as preoccupied with their behavior as they are themselves.

Area of Science:

Pediatric medicine
Transplantation
Adolescent health

Background:

High rates of nonadherence (50-65%) in pediatric transplant recipients pose significant risks.
Immunosuppressant medication adherence is vital for successful transition to adult care.
Poor adherence is linked to adverse long-term health outcomes in transplant patients.

Purpose of the Study:

To highlight the critical issue of nonadherence in pediatric transplant recipients.
To emphasize the importance of medication adherence for long-term outcomes.
To underscore the need for research into factors affecting adherence and care transitions.

Main Methods:

This study is a review of existing literature on pediatric transplant recipient adherence.
Analysis of factors influencing medication adherence and self-management skills.
Identification of challenges in transitioning care from pediatric to adult settings.

Main Results:

Nonadherence rates range from 50% to 65% in pediatric transplant recipients.
Adolescent transplant recipients are at increased risk due to nonadherence.
Demonstrated regimen knowledge and self-management are key for successful care transfer.

Conclusions:

Addressing nonadherence is essential for improving long-term health in pediatric transplant recipients.
Further research is needed to identify effective interventions for adherence and care transitions.
Ensuring adequate knowledge and skills prepares recipients for adult-centered care.
