Quality care for individuals and families during periods of transition is one of the major issues facing health care systems and providers today. The transition-home from the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) as experienced by adolescent mothers is poorly understood-placing young mothers and their infants at risk of poor outcomes following NICU discharge. Meleis' Transitions Theory offers a unique theoretical perspective for understanding this transition experience and also serves to highlight the complexity of the NICU-to-home transition for this population of young mothers that is not currently elucidated in the literature.
在过渡时期为个人和家庭提供优质护理是当今医疗保健系统和提供者面临的主要问题之一。青少年母亲从新生儿重症监护病房（NICU）回家的过渡经历了解甚少——这使年轻母亲及其婴儿在离开 NICU 后面临不良后果的风险。Meleis 的过渡理论为理解这一过渡体验提供了独特的理论视角，也突出了文献中尚未阐明的这一年轻母亲群体从 NICU 到家庭的过渡的复杂性。
