Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how patients with type 1 diabetes transition from adolescence to adulthood in Taiwan, focusing on their personal experiences and responsibilities.
- Fourteen individuals were interviewed using a semi-structured approach, revealing six central themes related to their journey: growing awareness of responsibility, attempts to assume control, overcoming challenges, dealing with anxiety, wavering commitment, and finding solutions.
- The findings highlight the struggles and hopes of these patients as they seek to manage their condition, offering insights for improving clinical care and creating tailored interventions for this crucial life phase.
Purpose: The aims of this study were to examine the relationship between healthcare needs, health-promoting behaviors and quality of life (QoL) of youths with congenital heart disease (CHD), and to determine whether health-promoting behaviors were a mediating variable.
Design And Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted recruiting 205 youths aged 15 to 24 with either ventricular septal defect (VSD) or tetralogy of Fallot (TOF). A self-reported questionnaire was used to collect demographic information; furthermore, the thickness of the triceps skinfold was measured.
Background: The increasing survival of children with congenital heart disease (CHD) challenges healthcare systems regarding how to manage the many health needs of patients undergoing transitional care. A comprehensive understanding of the perspectives of patients, parents, and healthcare providers is required.
Objective: This study systematically identified the healthcare needs of adolescents with CHD transitioning into young adults by collecting the perspectives of patients, parents, and healthcare providers.
Background: Due to medical advances, most children with congenital heart disease (CHD) are expected to survive into adulthood. Establishing adequate physical self-concept and cardiopulmonary tolerance during the adolescent period can primarily enhance overall well-being.
Aim: The purpose of this study was to undertake a gender-specific evaluation of the domain of physical self-concept among adolescents with mild CHD, and to examine the relationships between physical self-concept and cardiopulmonary exercise tolerance among adolescents with mild CHD.
Aim: To describe the subjective experience of engaging in exercise for adolescents with mild congenital heart disease (CHD).
Background: Most children with mild CHD are now expected to survive to adolescence and even into adulthood. With early intervention, cardiopulmonary function and exercise capacity in most are comparable to those of normal peers.
