OC37 - Adolescents with cystic fibrosis: their perspective.
Nursing Children and Young People 2016 May 10
UNLABELLED: Theme: Complex health care and chronic disease management.
INTRODUCTION: The adolescent with cystic fibrosis suffers from organic distresses and requires support to deal with the physical symptoms and the psychosocial adaptation.
AIM: Realize the experience of growing up with cystic fibrosis from the adolescent point of view.
METHODOLOGY: Data grounded theory as investigation method and interpretation by Meleis Theory. Study group with 16 adolescents and data collected by interview.
RESULTS: From the content analysis of the interviews, we established that the adolescents were living development and health-illness type transitions. We identified the dimension 'developing trust and coping' as adjustment strategy to new contexts.
DISCUSSION: The adolescents' speeches reflected behaviors of involvement in the transition process, being a positive result to the psychosocial development and positive life experience at this stage.
CONCLUSION: The follow up from healthcare professionals may transform a stressful situation into a state of trust. It can also reveal and pinpoint resource strategies to enable adaptation to new circumstances.
