Show more >Purpose: The main objective of this study was to identify the facilitators of and barriers to the transition from pediatric to adult care for adolescents and young adults (AYAs) with cancer according to physicians and nurses working in oncology. The secondary objectives were (1) to explore the viewpoints of health care professionals (HCPs) on this transition and (2) to discover HCP’s needs and the needs they perceive among AYAs and their parents. Methods: Semistructured interviews were conducted with 19 HCPs to discover their experiences with pediatric to adult care transitions. Thematic analysis was then conducted. Results: Participants reported that transitioning is a complex process influenced by numerous barriers and facilitators, which can be classified into four themes: (1) balancing the needs and relationships of the three actors involved in the transition process, (2) factors that enable HCPs to determine the ideal time for transitions, (3) institutional and organizational barriers and facilitators that challenge HCPs, and (4) HCPs’ reflections on defining and improving the transition process. Conclusion: Beyond the lack of human and financial resources, which hinders the structuring of transitions, our results suggest the need for a paradigm shift. That is, the position given to AYAs in pediatrics before the transition needs to evolve so that they are gradually positioned at the center of the relationship with HCPs and, therefore, are the focus of care and the transition process. This will enable them to acquire the skills, knowledge, and autonomy needed for a successful transition to adult care.Show less >
