Summary

Pediatric patients with Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis or Inflammatory Bowel Disease who are preparing to transition into adult care face many unique challenges, and, to date, there is no comprehensive and implementable model of transition care in Canada or the United States. These patients, in addition to the systemic inflammatory nature of their diseases, are also in a period of immense psycho-social stress due to changes in school structure, employment, and general psycho-social growth. A poorly managed transition can have adverse effects on the quality and experience of care as well as contribute to poor disease outcomes including increased morbidity and even mortality.

The goal of this study is to determine the feasibility of using a transition coach intervention to help patients in their transition from pediatric to adult care.

Transition Coach Intervention

The Transition Coach Intervention will include 8, 1-hour sessions over 6-months. The transition coach will independently meet one-on-one with each youth using an individualized, patient-centred approach beginning with an introductory session, followed by 5 sessions covering each topic in the Youth Transition Roadmap. These topics include: Self-Advocacy, Medication Management, General Health, Lifestyle Issues and Future Planning related to education and vocation. The clinical psychologist will lead 2 sessions beginning with the Patient Health Questionnaire for Anxiety and Depression as a screening tool. The clinical psychologist will discuss psychological and social well-being in the context of their disease covering personally relevant issues/concerns.

All participants will receive the Youth Transition Roadmap (standard of care) which discusses 5 domains of healthcare transition; Self-Advocacy, Medication Management, General Health, Lifestyle Issues and Future Planning related to education and vocation.
