Parenting style did not impact transition readiness in adolescents with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). However, females and older adolescents showed higher readiness, suggesting other factors influence this critical developmental stage.
Area of Science:
- Pediatric Gastroenterology
- Adolescent Medicine
- Health Psychology
Background:
- Adolescents with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) need to develop self-management skills for successful transition to adult care.
- Factors like maturity and cognitive development influence transition success.
- This study explored the association between parenting style, self-efficacy, and transition readiness in IBD patients.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate the relationship between parenting styles and transition readiness in adolescents with IBD.
- To determine if parenting style influences self-efficacy and readiness for adult-centered care.
- To identify factors associated with successful transition in IBD management.
Main Methods:
- A prospective cohort survey study involving adolescents with IBD and their parents.
- Utilized questionnaires including the IBD-Self-Efficacy Scale-Adolescent (IBD-SES-A) and Transition Readiness Assessment Questionnaire (TRAQ).
- Collected demographic, disease, and parental parenting style data (PSDQ-short form).
Main Results:
- All participating parents reported an authoritative parenting style.
- Female adolescents and older adolescents (20-22 years) demonstrated significantly higher transition readiness scores (TRAQ).
- No significant differences in transition readiness or self-efficacy were found based on parental education or specific parenting styles.
Conclusions:
- Parenting style, within an authoritative context, did not emerge as a differentiating factor for transition readiness in adolescents with IBD.
- Female gender and older age were associated with better transition readiness.
- Further research on psychosocial factors and integrated multidisciplinary care is recommended to enhance IBD transition outcomes.

Authoritarian Parenting
This style is strict and controlling, with little room for open dialogue. Authoritarian parents demand obedience and often enforce rules with minimal warmth. Children raised this way may lack social skills and initiative, usually comparing themselves to others unfavorably.
