Adolescence is a crucial time of transition in all aspects of life. Transition experiences for culturally Deaf individuals and individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing often differ from the mainstream population. The purpose of this scoping review was to examine and synthesize the existing literature surrounding transition experiences for culturally Deaf and deaf and hard of hearing populations through the lens of Meleis' Transitions Theory.
Using PRISMA-ScR guidelines, a scoping review of literature related to transition experiences for culturally Deaf individuals and individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing was conducted. The scope of the review was limited to articles focused on the United States and Canada published in the past ten years.
After the screening process, 46 sources related to transition experiences remained. The following transition periods were identified: postsecondary education transitions, early childhood transitions, other education transitions, vocational transitions, social transitions, independent living transitions, and health-related transitions. Additional concepts from Meleis' Transitions Theory, such as transition types and transition conditions, were identified and included in the thematic analysis.
Existing literature primarily focused on educational and vocational transitions during adolescence and young adulthood. However, most quantitative studies were secondary analyses of the National Longitudinal Transition Study (NLTS2). Future research should focus on intervention work and other relevant transitions, such as health care transitions.
青春期是人生各方面的关键过渡时期。文化上的聋人群体以及聋人或听力障碍者的过渡经历往往与主流人群不同。本范围综述的目的是通过梅莱伊斯的过渡理论视角，审视和综合围绕文化上的聋人群体以及聋人和听力障碍人群过渡经历的现有文献。
使用PRISMA - ScR指南，对与文化上的聋人群体以及聋人或听力障碍者过渡经历相关的文献进行了范围综述。综述范围限于过去十年发表的聚焦于美国和加拿大的文章。
筛选过程后，剩下46篇与过渡经历相关的文献。确定了以下过渡阶段：高等教育过渡、幼儿期过渡、其他教育过渡、职业过渡、社会过渡、独立生活过渡以及与健康相关的过渡。从梅莱伊斯的过渡理论中识别出的其他概念，如过渡类型和过渡条件，也被纳入主题分析。
现有文献主要关注青少年和青年期的教育和职业过渡。然而，大多数定量研究是对全国纵向过渡研究（NLTS2）的二次分析。未来的研究应侧重于干预工作以及其他相关过渡，如医疗保健过渡。
