Brief Summary

Aim: The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of health care transition-based education on transition readiness and self-efficacy in adolescents (14-18 years) with asthma through a randomized controlled experimental study that integrated the literature, model, and research on the transition from pediatrics to adult care. The research hypotheses are as follows: H0: There is no significant difference between the intervention and control groups' mean "Transition Readiness Assessment Questionnaire", "Self Efficacy Scale for Children and Adolescents with Asthma" and "Mind the Gap Scale" scores before and after the education they received on health care transition. H1: The mean "Transition Readiness Assessment Questionnaire", "Self Efficacy Scale for Children and Adolescents with Asthma" and "Mind the Gap Scale" score of the treatment group is significantly higher than the control group after the education they received on health care transition.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• The Transition Readiness Assessment Questionnaire (TRAQ)

  The Transition Readiness Assessment Questionnaire contains a series of questions in which the youth is asked to describe their ability level in various skill areas related to their health and health care, using the following scale: No, I do not know how No, but I want to learn No, but I am learning to do this Yes, I have started doing this Yes, I always do this when I need to. The 1 to 5 likert type scale consists of 20 questions. This produces a minimum score 20, max score 100. A higher score indicates a better outcome.

  TRAQ score will evaluate at baseline

Study Arms (2)

Healthcare transition based education

EXPERIMENTAL

The content of the education program and interviews include: the importance of transition readiness from pediatric to adult care; asthma, asthma management, asthma support groups and literature; asthma self-management skills (making appointments, taking medications regularly, knowing the risks and what to do during an asthma attack, visiting doctors alone, getting a prescription, communicating with health care professionals); filling out medical forms; insurance; decision making, autonomy, career plans; characteristics of adolescence; pediatrics and adult care differences; transition planning; discussions on case studies; knowledge and skills related to adult pulmonology service procedures; interview with pediatric and adult pulmonologists.

Behavioral: Healthcare Transition-Based Education

No Intervention

NO INTERVENTION

Control: Not all control group participants will receive health care transition-based training. The control group will receive standard outpatient clinic asthma treatment during this process.

Interventions

Healthcare Transition-Based Education BEHAVIORAL

The goal is for asthmatic adolescents to take responsibility for their own disease, be prepared for transition to adult pulmonology services, increase their self-efficacy, and gain management skills as a result of health care transition education.
