Abstract

Transition from pediatric to adult care represents a high risk period for adolescents and emerging adults with diabetes. Fundamental differences between pediatric and adult care delivery models may contribute to increased risk for poor health outcomes. This review provides a brief overview of models of care in pediatric and adult settings and focuses on patient-provider communication content and quality as potential points of intervention to improve transition-related outcomes. This review also highlights disparities in transition and communication for adolescents and emerging adults from racial/ethnic minority groups and discusses recent changes in health care legislation that have significant implications for the transition process. Intervention opportunities include programs to enhance developmentally-appropriate patient-provider interactions and increased attention to promoting transition readiness skills. Improving patient-provider communication may hasten the development of vital self-advocacy skills needed in adult health care systems and, thus, help establish a lasting pattern of positive diabetes self-care.

This review paper discusses the rationale for transition research by identifying unique challenges of emerging adulthood, providing recommendations for transition services, and specifying how transition is particularly challenging for emerging adults with type 1 diabetes. It reviews both observational and interventional studies evaluating transition to adult diabetes care and stresses the need for further research through randomized controlled trials.PubMedCrossRef

This is an innovative prospective study of youth with type 1 diabetes in various stages of the transition from pediatric to adult care. Findings highlight that youth who remained in pediatric diabetes care demonstrated better self-care and did not experience a deterioration in glycemic control compared with youth who transitioned to adult diabetes care. Moreover, early transition was associated with worse self-care and glycemic control, and minority patients were more likely to transition early.PubMedCrossRef

In: Tracking Trends in Health System Performance. New York: The Commonwealth Fund; 2012. p. 1–23. This brief is the results of a survey of emerging adults (ages 19–25) between November 2010 and November 2011. The survey found that almost 40% of emerging adults did not have health insurance for all or part of 2011;and many emerging adults did not seek healthcare when needed due to cost as well as reported difficulty paying medical bills or medical debt. The Affordable Care Act helped many emerging adults by allowing them to stay on parents’ health plans, and these survey findings indicated the need for policymakers to enact the additional coverage expansions outlines in the Affordable Care Act.

Patient Educ Couns. 2011;82:455–64. This study was conducted with adolescents with various chronic illnesses (ages 12–19), parents, and providers using mixed-methodology. It highlights discrepancies in communication and communication styles between adolescents, parents, and providers. Specifically, although adolescents had varying preferences regarding health communication, in general all wanted to be involved as partners in their own care. However, they often behaved more as spectators and were noncompliant and/or uninvolved. Parents took dominant roles in medical encounters and providers were often frustrated by perceived adolescent ambivalence. Authors suggest that providers should encourage adolescents to take a more active role in their own care.PubMedCrossRef

This is a meta-analysis of 106 correlational and 21 experimental intervention studies linking patient adherence to patient-provider communication. Results demonstrate that physician communication is significantly positively correlated with adherence, and that training physicians in communication results in improved adherence. In addition, results showed that physician type (pediatric or adult) moderates the correlation between communication and adherence, such that the correlation is higher when the physician is a pediatrician.PubMedCrossRef
