Transition Readiness in Youth with Inflammatory Bowel Disease - 05/07/23
Abstract |
Objectives |
To examine readiness of adolescents and young adults (AYAs) with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) to transition to adult care.
Study design |
A cross-sectional multicenter study evaluating transition readiness in individuals with IBD 16-19 years old prospectively recruited from 8 Canadian IBD centers using the validated ON Taking Responsibility for Adolescent to Adult Care (ON TRAC) questionnaire. Secondary aims included (1) screening for depression and anxiety using the 8-item Personal Health Questionnaire Depression Scale and The Screen for Child Anxiety Related Emotional Disorders questionnaires, respectively; (2) evaluating the association between depression and anxiety with readiness and disease activity; and (3) subjectively evaluating AYA readiness based on physician and parent assessments.
Results |
In total, 186 participants (139 adolescent, 47 young adult) were enrolled, mean age 17.4 years (SD, 0.87). ON TRAC scores determined that 26.6% of AYAs at pediatric and 40.4% at adult centers reached the threshold of readiness. On multivariable linear regression analysis age was positively (P = .001) and disease remission negatively (P = .03) associated with ON TRAC scores. No statistically significant differences were determined across centers. A significant percentage of AYAs reported moderate-to-severe depression (21.7%) and generalized anxiety (36%); however, neither were significantly associated with ON TRAC scores. Notably, physician and parental assessment of AYA readiness correlated poorly with ON TRAC scores (⍴ = 0.11, ⍴ = 0.24, respectively).
Conclusions |
Assessment of transition readiness in AYAs with IBD highlighted that a large proportion do not have adequate knowledge or behavior skills needed for transition to adult care. This study infers that readiness assessment tools are essential during transition to identify deficits in knowledge and behavior skills that could be specifically targeted by the youth, caregivers, and multidisciplinary team.
