“…There were no differences in the amount of content received by race/ethnicity group. Others have found that Nonwhite patients are provided with less information about their disease and treatment (Cooper-Patrick et al, 1999;Oermann et al, 2001) and as a result may be less actively involved in medical decision making regarding their health (Maly et al, 2003).…”

“…In addition, females tend to ask more questions, generally receive more information, and have more partnership building with their health care providers than male patients (Suhonen et al, 2005). Younger patients place more importance on health information compared with older adults (Oermann et al, 2001;Suhonen et al, 2005). Older adults give greater importance to having access to persons, resources, or services to assist them with activities when they are unable due to illness-induced limitations (Bull, 1994b).…”

“…Patients with limited education place greater importance on nurse teaching about illness, treatments, and health promotion (Oermann et al, 2001). Highly educated patients reported they desired health information but received less than desired (Van Veenendaal, Grinspun, & Adriaanse, 1996).…”

“…6 Given its complexity, the health-care transition process requires that adolescents and young adults acquire knowledge and skills that result in improved self-management of their illnesses. [7][8][9] Yet, there is a paucity of evidence to substantiate transition programs' effectiveness in documenting adolescents' and young adults' progression along the continuum of transition preparation or to validate programs' accuracy in assessing young adults' readiness for transfer to an adult health-care provider. 10 In an earlier review of transition studies done between 1982 and 2003, Betz noted that few, if any, of these studies described the development of measures for assessing transition progress, readiness for transfer, or program effectiveness.…”

A Clinical Tool to Measure the Components of Health-Care Transition from Pediatric Care to Adult Care: TheUNC TR_xANSITION Scale

Objective: To describe the development of the University of North Carolina (UNC) TR x ANSITION Scale that measures the health-care transition and self-management skills by youth with chronic health conditions. Methods: Item and scale development of the UNC TR x ANSITION Scale was informed by two theoretical models, available literature, and expert opinion interviews and feedback from youth with chronic conditions, their parents, and interdisciplinary collaboration. Through an iterative process, three versions of the scale were piloted on a total of 185 adolescents and emerging adults with different chronic illnesses. This clinically administered scale relies on a semi-structured interview format of the patient and does not rely solely on patient report, but is verified with information from the medical record to validate responses. Results: Following the item development and the three iterations of the scale, version 3 was examined in a more intensive fashion. The current version of the UNC TR x ANSITION Scale comprises 33 items scattered across the following 10 domains: Type of illness, Rx¼medications, Adherence, Nutrition, Self-management, Informed-reproduction, Trade/ school, Insurance, Ongoing support, and New health providers. It requires approximately 7-8 min to administer. With a sample of 128 adolescents and young adults, ranging in age from 12 to 20, inter-rater reliability was strong (r ¼ 0.71) and item-total correlation scores were moderate to high. Content and construct validity were satisfactory, and the overall score was sensitive to advancing age. The univariate linear regression yielded a beta coefficient of 1.08 (p < 0.0001), indicating that the total score increased with advancing age. Specifically, there was about a one point increase in the total score for each year of age. Conclusion: The UNC TR x ANSITION Scale is a disease-neutral tool that can be used in the clinical setting. Initial findings suggest that it is a reliable and valid tool that has the potential to measure health-care transition skill mastery and knowledge in a multidimensional fashion.

“…Preoperative education by nurses reduces patient stress and increases self-care strength and compliance. 18,19 Some studies conclude that preoperative anxiety levels are high, but a nurse's approach and patient education effectively reduce anxiety levels. 9,16 Surgical nursing is not always considered ''real'' nursing care by other nurses.…”
