Assessment of the experiences of young adults with diabetes to evaluate aspects of the transition process and assess whether developmentally important topics were addressed found important topics were not adequately addressed.
Abstract
SUMMARY Aims: This preliminary investigation assessed the experiences of young adults with diabetes to evaluate aspects of the transition process and assess whether developmentally important topics were addressed. Patients & methods: Questionnaires were administered to recently transferred patients. Reasons for transition, age, anxiety, lapse in care and how adult providers were selected were examined. Whether 13 developmentally important topics were addressed was also assessed. Results & conclusion: Over half (52.5%) of participants did not select their adult provider through pediatric provider recommendation. Lapse in care was over 1 year for 22.4% of participants. Important topics were not adequately addressed. Changes in provider culture are needed to meet the needs of emerging adults with diabetes who are transitioning from pediatric to adult care.

It is suggested that while the change in terminology is minor, it reflects an important paradigmatic shift for thinking about the delivery of health care, and will improve patient care by enabling practitioners to more accurately identify patients' social and economic constraints and to provide them with more efficient educational and financial resources.

This work proposes a fresh approach to providing care in which the period of development after high school is considered as a period of “emerging adulthood” for youth with diabetes, and argues that the traditional conceptualization of only two distinct groups of patients misses the unique personal needs of individuals immediately post–high school.
