“…The findings from this research can be contextualised in Meleis et al's () Transitions Theory, which has been widely utilised in nursing research and practice (Arrowsmith, Lau‐Walker, Norman, & Maben, ; Brown et al, ; Lindmark, Bülow, Mårtensson, & Rönning, ; Munck, Björklund, Jansson, Lundberg, & Wagman, ). This theory recognises transition as a complex and multidimensional process and provides a framework for characteristics and indicators of healthy transition processes.…”

“…Another important issue highlighted by the current study is the detrimental impact of transition to adult services on the health and quality of life of family carers of people with ID. The negative experiences of transition as well as pressures experienced as a result of decrease in services following transition can affect parents' physical and mental health and consequently their ability to care for their children.The findings from this research can be contextualised inMeleis et al's (2000) Transitions Theory, which has been widely utilised in nursing research and practice(Arrowsmith, Lau-Walker, Norman, & Maben, 2016;Brown et al, 2019;Lindmark, Bülow, Mårtensson, & Rönning, 2019;Munck, Björklund, Jansson, Lundberg, & Wagman, 2018). This theory recognises transition as a complex and multidimensional process and provides a framework for characteristics and indicators of healthy transition processes.…”

Aims and objectives To explore the experiences of the families of young adults with intellectual disabilities at the point of transition from child to adult health services. Background The population of people with intellectual disabilities is changing rapidly, with young people with increasingly complex needs surviving into adulthood and requiring transition from child to adult health services. Design An interpretative qualitative design. Methods Semi‐structured interviews were held with ten family carers of young adults with intellectual disabilities and complex care needs, who were in the process of or had recently completed a transition from child to adult health services in Scotland. Data were analysed using thematic analysis. The COREQ checklist was used. Results Transition emerged as a highly emotional and challenging period for family carers. Their experiences were captured in five main themes: “a deep sense of loss,” “an overwhelming process,” “parents making transitions happen,” “a shock to the adult healthcare system” and “the unbearable pressure.” Nurses were often seen as instrumental to counteracting some of these challenges. Conclusions There is an urgent need to respond to the challenges experienced by carers at the point of transition and beyond, by ensuring early and coordinated planning, effective information sharing and communication and clear transition processes and guidelines. A person‐centred and family‐centred approach is required to minimise negative impact on the health and well‐being of the young adult with intellectual disabilities and their carers. Relevance to clinical practice Registered nurses have a key role in providing information and support, along with coordinating care at the time of transition from child to adult health services for young adults with complex intellectual disabilities. It is vital that their input is person‐centred and responds effectively to the expert knowledge of family carers, while at the same time ensuring their needs for information and support are also addressed.

“…In Turkey, the first transmission from person to person was reported on March 10, 2020. As of April 14, 2020, In Turkey, the numbers of positive cases, deaths and survivors were reported as 65,111, 1,403 and 4,799 respectively ranging from hour to hour (TUBITAK, 2020).This outbreak of the disease causes uncertainty, fear and panic in individuals and the society due to the day-by-day increase in its severity (WHO, 2020).Nurses play a great role in the transition both from health to illness and from illness to health in this pandemic, since they are healthcare workers who care for both healthy and sick individuals in different situations such as health, illness, birth and death (Bekmezci et al, 2016;Lindmark et al, 2019). The transition theory developed by Afaf İbrahim Meleis is involved in the meaning that an individual attribute to the transition, and his or her expectations about the transition, knowledge and skill levels, and emotional and physical well-being ( Davies, 2010;Bekmezci et al, 2016;Aydin and Kukulu, 2020).…”

The transition theory developed by Afaf İbrahim Meleis is a nursing theory aimed at defining changes in individuals' lives and improving their health. Effects of such changes and transitions on individuals' health differ from one person to another. Nurses assist patients in these transition times by developing different intervention methods for them. Meleis' s transition theory is of importance because it is based on nursing profession and has contributed to the emergence of nursing science. A female patient presented to a private health institution with complaints of fever (38.2°C) and sore throat. The result of the 2019-nCov test performed was positive and she was quarantined in a socially isolated room of the hospital. Uncertainty and fear of death due to COVID-19, a global epidemic, bring about serious consequences for patients. In this case report, in line with Meleis' s transition theory, nursing care was planned for this 52-year-old woman diagnosed with 2019-nCov.

“…Early assessment of health of a community by a multidisciplinary team to avoid any emergency in health care intervention is required ( Cassarino et al., 2019 ). Then only large social development with interdisciplinarity will be achieved ( Lindmark et al., 2018 ).…”

“…Landing on mars, moon, sequencing the whole human genome, and the discovery of nano science can be merged for the betterment of the society ( Dahm et al., 2019 ). So, a transition of knowledge from discipline to interdisciplinary seems to be the present day of the society starting from health care to social services ( Lindmark et al., 2018 ). However, still merging humanities with science is a paradigm in the present society.…”

Objectives Science is the erudite methodical systematic practises to study the structure and behaviour of natural objects and/or phenomena. It clearly unknot about the fact that science is a human (society) need based process that starts with social affairs, for example, need to exchange emotion and cognitive processes (psychology), feelings (literature), relation (sociology), money (economics) etc. Humanities are the use of approaches that are predominantly hypothetical but critical, and have a noteworthy historical component, and the methodical aspects distinguish it from the mainly experiential approaches of the science. The basic approaches in both remains the same that it needs a hypothesis, sound methodology, and interpretation of data. Human is the end user in both the cases. So, why only interdisciplinary research focused on the core subjects of science? For example, philosophy, deals with general and vital complications relating to matters including existence, knowledge, language, attitude, behaviour, values, ethics, reason, mind, peace and harmony in life which can be essentially a part of science (especially natural sciences and more particularly animals sciences such as zoology) or vice versa could be true. The current and future time will allow us to believe on such concept, is the main theme of the current article. Methods Articles from all published sources are considered for answering the objective that why not concentrating to speed up interdisciplinarity. Few tables and figure are reproduced or redrawn as per the need. And numerical data are collected to present the current status of the interdisciplinarity and the need of the pace it requires. Results It is noticed that number of research articles on interdisciplinarity in comparison to several core subject area in major databases including environmental biology are still negligible. Countries still need to inter-collaborate at interdisciplinary level for the development and benefit of human race. This needs to be done mainly at socio-economic, intercultural and scientific levels. Although numbers of steps are taken such as establishment of interdisciplinary institutes, introduction of interdisciplinary courses, interdisciplinary research and publication platforms in specialized dedicated journals, still concrete steps to introduce the course of interdisciplinarity at educational and professional level is wanting. Conclusion Therefore, policy on pace in interdisciplinarity across science and humanities is highly wanting especially in developing countries to fix several national and international issues. Present article deals with the current status and future prospective or policies required on interdisciplinarity.
