“… 68 In addition, to improve employment outcomes, patients need support in disclosing their disease and its physical impact on their employment, which underscores the necessity of building their social skills and offering emotional support in a HCT program through a multidisciplinary team. 68 Anxiety regarding disease disclosure is not disease-specific and interventions such as role play 69 and vocational readiness counseling programs 70 have been positively evaluated in other specialties. These avenues of provider-directed guidance should be supported by a strong foundation of optimal disease management.…”

The transition from pediatric to adult health care is often a challenging process due to multiple interwoven complexities, especially for children with chronic medical conditions. Health care transition (HCT) is a process of moving from a pediatric to an adult model of health care with or without a transfer to a new clinician. This paper focuses on what is known about HCT for youth and young adults (Y/YA) with rheumatic diseases within a larger context of HCT recommendations. HCT barriers for youth, families, and providers and current evidence for a structured HCT processes are reviewed. Practical advice is offered on how to approach transition for Y/YA, what tools are available to assist in a successful transition process, and what are the areas of future research that are needed to improve the HCT evidence base.

“…The limited literature available suggests that role-playing may be an effective teaching method not only for physicians and genetic counselors but also undergraduates [3, 6–12]. Role-playing is widely used in medical education in areas such as procedural skills [13], communication training [14], decision making [15], active learning [16], problem-solving [17], developing empathy [18], and teamwork [19], and appears even in first-year medical courses [20, 21]. Moreover, role-playing is a low cost approach that is relatively easy to implement [22].…”

Background: Genetic diseases represent a significant public health challenge in China that will need to be addressed by a correspondingly large number of professional genetic counselors. However, neither an official training program for genetic counseling, nor formal board certification, was available in China before 2015. In 2009, a genetic counseling training program based on role-playing was implemented as a pilot study at the Third Military Medical University to train third-year medical students. Methods: Questionnaires on participant attitudes to the program and role-playing were randomly administered to 324 students after they had finished their training. Pre-and post-training instructional tests, focusing on 42 key components of genetic counseling, were administered randomly to 200 participants to assess mastery of each component. Finally, scores in final examinations of 578 participants from 2009 to 2011 were compared to scores obtained by 614 non-participating students from 2006 to 2008 to further assess program efficacy.

“…In a study addressing current transitional care planning practice in European paediatric rheumatology centres, only two thirds specifically addressed education and a half addressed vocational readiness in adolescents and young adults with rheumatic disease [41]. Our findings will help to underpin the improvement and broadening of existing interventions and approaches used in the healthcare setting such as those rooted in the concepts of 'transferable skills' [42], [43] or 'vocational readiness' [44] which already address core skills and knowledge domains involved in disclosure, communication, and problem-solving among other key education and employment related aspects of adolescent and young adult development.…”

Introduction Young people’s transition into adulthood is intertwined with the worlds of education and work. Poor health in adolescence has been associated with poorer education and employment outcomes in adulthood. This paper explores the impact of arthritis on the educational and early work experiences of young people with arthritis. Methods We undertook a supplementary secondary analysis of a qualitative dataset comprising narrative and semi-structured interviews of 39 young people who had been diagnosed with arthritis in childhood, adolescence or young adulthood. Results Our findings illustrate how young people living with arthritis are faced with a range of added disruptions and challenges in their educational/vocational lives. There is an important element of resilience associated with the process of making a career choice and acting upon personal aspirations. Appropriate support and flexibility in the workplace/educational setting can enable successful outcomes, but disclosure is not a straightforward process for young people living with arthritis. Conclusions It is paramount that health providers consistently and effectively address self-advocacy skills with the young person, particularly during educational and vocational transitions. Alongside this, there is the need to further strengthen the health-school/work interface to ensure that young people living with chronic illness can meet their full potential in adulthood.
