Transition in Epilepsy – A survey for patients and healthcare practitioners

About the study

Transition from pediatric to Adult Healthcare System proves difficult for many youths with epilepsy and their families. There are significant difficulties in establishing and maintaining transition programs in epilepsy. Poorly organized transition programs in epilepsy may be associated with poor seizure control, undiagnosed comorbid conditions, along with poor psychosocial outcomes. A successful transition involves engagement and participation of the entire medical team, including physicians, nurses, nurse practitioners, social workers, the family, and any other caregivers, and most importantly the young person collaborating in a positive and mutually respectful relationship.

The purpose of the study is to understand the patient/caregiver and healthcare professional’s perspective of transition in epilepsy and the barriers experienced.
