Abstract
Purpose
The aim of this study is to examine the effects of self-efficacy, social support and
quality of life on readiness for transition to adult care in adolescents with cystic
fibrosis.
Design and methods
A descriptive and cross-sectional study design was used. Data were collected from
50 adolescent between 14 and 17 years old with cystic fibrosis, by using The Transition
Readiness Assessment Questionnaire, Social Support Appraisals Scale for Children,
Self-Efficacy Questionnaire for Children and health-related quality-of-life instrument,
the KIDSCREEN-10.
Results
A positive correlation was found between the readiness levels of adolescents for transition
to adult care and self-efficacy levels. In path analysis, self-efficacy was found
to have a significant effect on the level of readiness for transition to adult care.
There was not statistically significant relationship between the level of readiness
for transition to adult care and health-related quality of life and perceived social
support. Path analysis revealed that health-related quality of life and perceived
social support had significant effects on the self-efficacy levels of adolescents.
Conclusions
Self-efficacy were associated with readiness for the transition to adult care. Although
perceived social support and quality of life were not related with transition readiness
these variables had significant effects on perceived self-efficacy, which was determined
as a factor affecting the readiness for the transition to adult care.
Practice implications
In adolescents with cystic fibrosis, self-efficacy, social support and quality of
life levels should be taken into account when planning preparation programs for transition
to adult care.
