Book Synopsis The Transition of Respiratory Care: from Child to Adult by : Alexandra M. Nanzer
Book excerpt: One in five adolescents have special healthcare needs; one in 10 face limitations to daily activities due to chronic illness or disability. Taken alongside the ever-changing societal landscape and the multifaceted psychological aspects of adolescence, these statistics underline the need to recognise adolescents and young adults as a distinct patient population with unique healthcare needs. This Monograph addresses this need. Opening with chapters that discuss health inequalities, adolescent psychology and treatment adherence, the book goes on to cover specific respiratory diseases and the requirements of their adolescent subjects. Readers will find this Monograph a useful and interesting insight into adolescent health.
