Abstract:
Objective:To summarize domestic and foreign transitional readiness assessment tools for adolescents with chronic diseases and analyze the current status of their application in the clinic, so as to provide references for healthcare professionals to select appropriate tools.Methods:China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Data, VIP and China Biomedical Literature Database, PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Medline, CINAHL, Cochrane Library and scholar.google.com were searched for literature related to the assessment tools of transition readiness in adolescents with chronic illnesses from inception to March 29, 2024. Two researchers independently screened the literature and extracted the data.Results:A total of 491 articles were initially retrieved and 24 were included, involving a total of 8 transitional readiness assessment tools for adolescents with chronic diseases, including the Transition Readiness Assessment questionnaire, the University of North Carolina TRxANSITION Scale, Am I ON TRAC for adult care? Questionnaire, Transition Questionnaire, Self-Management and Transition to Adulthood with Rx=Treatment Questionnaire, Good 2 Go Questionnaire, State Assessment Questionnaire for Transition, and Self-assessment Scale of Transition Readiness for Adolescents. The Transition Readiness Assessment questionnaire and Self-Management and Transition to Adulthood with Rx=Treatment Questionnaire have good reliability and validity, comprehensive evaluation, wide applicability, simple use, and are suitable for clinical use.Conclusions:The quality of existing tools for assessing transitional readiness of adolescents with chronic diseases is mixed. The Transition Readiness Assessment questionnaire and Self-Management and Transition to Adulthood with Rx=Treatment Questionnaire are more appropriate options in the clinic, but they still need to be improved. Future studies need to continue to introduce tools to assess transitional readiness for chronic diseases in adolescents and develop localized assessment tools.
