This article aims to highlight the impact of mentorship on the lives of youth with chronic conditions (YCC). Here, we focus on the concepts of mentoring and technology as a means to support transitioning YCC. This is in response to the urgent need for effective healthcare transition strategies and the increasing importance and prevalence of technology in healthcare and health systems. This article also highlights an e-mentoring program for youth with epilepsy, an intervention that bridges the fields of mentoring, transition, and technology. While there is need for further research in these areas, consideration of these factors are highly relevant to the effort to improve health for this generation of YCC.
本文旨在强调指导对患有慢性疾病的青年(YCC)生活的影响。在这里,我们专注于指导和技术的概念,将其作为支持 YCC 过渡的手段。这是为了应对有效医疗过渡策略的迫切需求,以及技术在医疗保健和医疗体系中的重要性和普及性日益增加。本文还重点介绍了针对癫痫青年的电子指导计划,该干预措施弥合了指导、过渡和技术领域的差距。虽然这些领域需要进一步研究,但考虑这些因素与改善这一代 YCC 的健康状况密切相关。
