Psychosocial Impact of Transplant in Children
This activity consists of recorded presentations from the "Essentials of Oncology, Solid Organ and Blood/Marrow Transplant Management for the Health Care Team" held in Scottsdale, AZ on March 20–21, 2017.
Solid organ transplantation has become the first line of treatment for a growing number of life-threatening pediatric illnesses. Transitioning the adolescent who has been a recipient of a transplant may have long-term psychosocial sequelae. Crucial to successful transitioning is the ongoing development of a sense of autonomy and responsibility for one’s own care. This webcast will address the barriers to transitioning that occur with long-term survival in pediatric solid-organ transplantation and will discuss evidence-based models and strategies utilized for a successful transition.
Learning Objectives
At the end of this educational activity, participants should be able to:
- State factors affecting psychosocial development and readiness for transition in adolescent transplant recipients including self management of medications
- Discuss different care transition models and how they impact adolescents’ quality of life
- Recognize the impact of effective transition of care and an interprofessional team model on improving health outcomes and reducing health care costs
- Address the barriers to adolescent transitioning that occur with long-term survival in pediatric solid-organ transplantation
