abstract: 'BackgroundPoor transitions to adult care from child and adolescent
|
|
|
|
mental health services may increase the risk of disengagement and
|
|
|
|
long-term negative outcomes. However, studies of transitions in mental
|
|
|
|
health care are commonly difficult to administer and little is known
|
|
|
|
about the determinants of successful transition. The persistence of
|
|
|
|
health inequalities related to access, care, and outcome is now well
|
|
|
|
accepted including the inverse care law which suggests that those most
|
|
|
|
in need of services may be the least likely to obtain them. We sought to
|
|
|
|
examine the pathways and determinants of transition, including the role
|
|
|
|
of social class.MethodA retrospective systematic examination of
|
|
|
|
electronic records and case notes of young people eligible to transition
|
|
|
|
to adult care over a 4-year period across five Health and Social Care
|
|
|
|
NHS Trusts in Northern Ireland.ResultsWe identified 373 service users
|
|
|
|
eligible for transition. While a high proportion of eligible patients
|
|
|
|
made the transition to adult services, very few received an optimal
|
|
|
|
transition process and many dropped out of services or subsequently
|
|
|
|
disengaged. Clinical factors, rather than social class, appear to be
|
|
|
|
more influential in the transition pathway. However, those not in
|
|
|
|
employment, education or training (NEET) were more likely (OR 3.04: 95\%
|
|
|
|
CI 1.34, 6.91) to have been referred to Adult Mental Health Services
|
|
|
|
(AMHS), as were those with a risk assessment or diagnosis (OR 4.89:
|
|
|
|
2.45, 9.80 and OR 3.36: 1.78, 6.34), respectively.ConclusionsDespite the
|
|
|
|
importance of a smoother transition to adult services, surprisingly, few
|
|
|
|
patients experience this. There is a need for stronger standardised
|
|
|
|
policies and guidelines to ensure optimal transitional care to AMHS. The
|
|
|
|
barriers between different arms of psychiatry appear to persist. Joint
|
|
|
|
working and shared arrangements between child and adolescent and adult
|
|
|
|
mental health services should be fostered.'
