Area Of Science
- Healthcare transition research
- Adolescent and young adult health
- Special healthcare needs management
Background
- Growing population of children with special healthcare needs (SHCN) surviving into adulthood.
- Need for effective transition from pediatric to adult healthcare systems.
- Identification of influential ecological variables for transition readiness.
Purpose Of The Study
- Identify and describe ecological variables influencing transition readiness for adolescents and young adults (AYA) with SHCN.
- Determine factors preparing AYA with SHCN for the adult healthcare system.
- Inform development of targeted transition support programs.
Main Methods
- Convenience sample of AYA with SHCN (ages 18-25).
- Recruitment from specialty clinics, universities, and organizations.
- Online survey and multiple linear regression analysis.
Main Results
- Self-advocacy, self-efficacy, adolescent responsibility, and provider communication significantly predicted transition readiness.
- The resultant model was statistically significant (Adj R² =.540).
- Identified key variables for successful healthcare transition.
Conclusions
- Addresses literature gap by examining multi-domain factors influencing transition readiness.
- Highlights the importance of self-advocacy, self-efficacy, responsibility, and communication.

Trends in nursing are multifactorial and associated with changes in society, within the nursing profession, and in other professions. Notably, telehealth and remote nursing contribute to successful healthcare delivery for numerous patients and help reduce stress for nurses due to nursing shortages. Nurses can reach patients, monitor their conditions, and interact with them using computers, audio, visual accessories, and telephones—for example, remote patient monitoring systems. Likewise,...
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...
Ethical dilemmas in nursing are of utmost importance, as they often arise from the tension between adhering to core ethical principles and the practical realities of healthcare delivery. These dilemmas require nurses to navigate complex situations where competing ethical considerations pull them in different directions.
