Clinical Team Perspectives on the Psychosocial Aspects of Transition to Adult Care for Patients With Childhood‐Onset Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

Abstract

We identified several psychosocial themes that clinical team members believe impact the transition of patients with childhood-onset SLE into adult care. The role of parental modeling, youth resilience, mental health and emotional care, improved childhood-onset SLE education, and structured peer support and social connectedness are highlighted, which may be amenable to interventions.
