Abstract:
The transfer from pediatric to adult care of adolescents with a chronic condition like cystic fibrosis is a great challenge for the patients, their parents and the health care professionals. Therefore it is very important to prepare the families well in advance by coaching the self-management skills of the adolescents and by supporting their parents in letting go. Transition clinics have proved to be the best instruments in the process of handing-over the patients. They guarantee for the continuity of care and they have a positive effect on the satisfaction of adolescents and their parents in the transition process.
