What this Trial Is About
Congenital heart disease is a common birth defect with significant health risks, especially as affected children transition from pediatric to adult care. This research evaluates a structured transition care model aimed at adolescents with congenital heart disease to improve their readiness for adult care, self-management skills, and satisfaction with care during this change. The study addresses the need for professional support and education to help adolescents and their families adapt to adult health systems and reduce complications. Participants are randomly assigned to one of two groups: the transition care group receives individualized training through three educational modules delivered face-to-face monthly, each lasting about 35-40 minutes. The control group continues with routine care and may receive the training after the study concludes. The intervention includes brochures, posters, and slide materials, with education sessions occurring at one and two months after the first interview. During the one-year study, participants will complete assessments at specific intervals including the Transition Readiness Assessment Scale, Chronic Disease Self-Management Scale, and Transitional Care Satisfaction Rating Scale. Researchers will also collect sociodemographic and medical data. The study monitors how well adolescents prepare for adult care, manage their condition, and their satisfaction with the care received, aiming to guide nursing practices for this population.
