Abstract
Background and Aims
The incidence of inflammatory bowel disease [IBD] diagnosed before adulthood is increasing worldwide. Transition from paediatric to adult health care requires certain skills. The aim of this study was to identify factors affecting these skills.
Methods
This review was registered on the PROSPERO database [CRD42019152272]. Inclusion criteria were: 1] studies of factors affecting transition readiness skills in patients with IBD; 2] written in English; 3] published since 1999. MEDLINE, CINAHL, and PsychINFO databases were searched between 1999 and 2019. Quality was assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute critical appraisal tools.
Results
Searches identified 822 papers. Sixteen papers were included. Age was positively associated with skills including disease knowledge and performing self-management behaviours [14 studies]. Improvement often occurs at 18; however, skill deficiency may still remain. Increased self-efficacy [confidence] was associated with greater disease knowledge and performing self-management behaviours [three studies]. Self-efficacy was positively correlated with transition duration [two studies] and health-related quality of life [r = 0.57, p <0.001] [one study], negatively correlated with depression [r = -0.57, p <0.001] and anxiety [r = -0.23, p = 0.03] [one study], and was associated with higher education level [two studies] and a family history of IBD [one study]. Females had higher self-management scores [three studies], and greater health care satisfaction was significantly associated with higher knowledge [one study]. Greater transition communication improved knowledge, self-management, and overall transition readiness [two studies].
Conclusions
Potentially modifiable factors have been identified that could be supported in the transitioning IBD population, to improve transition readiness. Identification of those with non-modifiable characteristics associated with poor readiness may aid targeted support.
