Preparing Implementation of Transition Readiness Screening: What Do Paediatric Cancer Survivors and Caregivers Want?

ABSTRACT:

Background

Supporting transition from paediatric to adult healthcare is essential for the long-term well-being of paediatric cancer survivors. Guided by an implementation science approach, our overall programme of research seeks to integrate transition readiness screening in the routine care of paediatric cancer survivors, using the validated Transition Readiness Assessment Questionnaire (TRAQ). To plan for the screening implementation, the primary objective of this study was to first assess paediatric cancer survivors' current experiences with transition preparation and their preferences for screening and resources. A secondary focus group with parents was also conducted to complement youth perspectives.

Methods

Focus groups were conducted with 14- to 18-year-old paediatric
