DURING THE PASSAGE FROM ADOLESCENCE TO ADULTHOOD, INDIVIDUALS ARE EXPECTED TO GO THROUGH THREE PSYCHOLOGICAL STAGES: identity formation (finding out who they are), intimacy (establishment of stable intimate relationships) and generativity (productive lifestyle, career or vocational realization). Having diabetes may complicate this process. Further, the period of late adolescence and early adulthood coincides with the transition of care from paediatric to adult care services. This transition is a time when the individual is particularly at risk for loss of medical follow-up and medical complications. The present article reviews the current state of knowledge on psychosocial maturation in youth with diabetes and the process of transition of care from paediatric to adult care services.
在从青少年向成年人过渡的过程中,个体需要经历三个心理阶段:身份认同形成(弄清楚自己是谁)、亲密关系(建立稳定的亲密关系)和繁衍(富有成效的生活方式、职业成就或职业实现)。患有糖尿病可能会使这个过程变得复杂。此外,青少年晚期和成年早期正好与医疗护理从儿科服务向成人护理服务的转变期相重合。这个转变期是个体特别容易失去医疗随访和出现医疗并发症的时期。本文综述了目前关于糖尿病青少年心理社会成熟以及医疗护理从儿科向成人护理服务转变过程的知识现状。
