| Research Abstract |
We conducted a questionnaire survey about the transition from childhood to adult health care services.The subjects were families from a patient advocacy group for children with epilepsy. We analyzed the data of the transition outcomes of 136 parents. The survey's result indicated that almost half of the adult epilepsy patients who developed epilepsy in childhood (under 15 years of age) were receiving medical care for child health-care services. It was suggested that transitional care could assist with independence through increased information and acceptance regarding their disorder. One important transition factor that emerged was the need for individuals to transfer to an epilepsy specialist. Additionally, participants expressed strong anxieties regarding changed attending physician. Thus, via transitional care, anxieties pertaining to such changes could be decreased through the introduction of an epilepsy specialist and provision of epilepsy management information.
