Background:
Assessing the level of transition readiness in adolescents with inflammatory bowel disease is crucial; however, standardized research tools are lacking. This study aimed to map transition readiness assessment tools for adolescents with inflammatory bowel disease and determine their suitability.
Methods:
A literature review following the Arksey and O'Malley scoping review methodology was conducted. By using appropriate key terms, literature on transition readiness assessment tool searches were conducted in the CNKI, WanFang, SinoMed, Pubmed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and CINAHL databases, with a reference search. The retrieval period was from the establishment of the databases to January 2024.
Results:
A total of 2561 studies were obtained through a preliminary search, and 5 references were obtained as retrospective references. Finally, 21 studies were selected for this review. In total, 20 transition readiness assessment tools were identified. Qualitative findings were grouped into five thematic areas: descriptive characteristics of reviewed articles, development procedures, design, psychometric properties, and cohort characteristics for validity testing of transition readiness assessment tools.
Conclusions:
The most appropriate way to assess the transition readiness of adolescents with inflammatory bowel disease is to select an assessment tool that is most suitable for individual needs, accompanied by a comprehensive patient evaluation. Despite some flaws in the methodology, TRM is currently the most suitable assessment tool, and more population studies are needed to validate it.

Inflammatory bowel disease, or IBD, encompasses a group of disorders characterized by chronic inflammation or ulceration of the gastrointestinal tract.
Risk Factors
The exact cause of IBD remains unclear, although it is believed to be due to a mix of genetic, environmental, microbial, and immune factors. Genetic factors are significant in determining susceptibility to IBD, with family history being a critical risk factor. Individuals with a first-degree relative who has IBD are at...

Inflammatory bowel disease, commonly known as IBD, refers to a collection of disorders that lead to persistent inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. The two types of IBD are ulcerative colitis, which impacts the colon, and Crohn's disease, which can involve any part of the gastrointestinal segment.
