El cuidado de transición tiene como objetivo facilitar la transferencia efectiva de niños que padecen enfermedades crónicas al personal médico encargado de la atención del adulto, garantizando el apropiado manejo a largo plazo, la identificación temprana de posibles complicaciones, la reducción de la morbilidad y los costos en la prestación de los servicios de salud.
En varios países, existen avances significativos acerca de este concepto, en los que se ha llegado incluso a establecer un consenso sobre los aspectos necesarios para el desarrollo del cuidado transicional, el cual comprende los principios generales desde la política hasta su implementación, alcanzando buenos resultados en los pacientes.
A pesar de estos avances, en muchos países como Colombia, donde la población pediátrica que padece enfermedades crónicas que llegan a la adolescencia y que alcanzan la edad adulta viene en aumento, poco se conoce sobre el cuidado transicional, siendo necesario que se generen investigaciones y trabajos interdisciplinarios para atender las múltiples necesidades de esta población emergente, de sus familiares y cuidadores.
Transitional care aims to facilitate the effective transfer of children suffering from chronic diseases to the medical staff in charge of adult care, ensuring appropriate long-term management, early identification of possible complications, and reduction of morbidity and costs associated with the provision of health services.
In several countries, significant progress in this regard has been made, and even consensus on the aspects necessary for the development of transitional care has been reached, including the general principles from the policy to its implementation, with good results in the patients.
Despite these advances, in many countries such as Colombia, where the pediatric population suffering from chronic diseases that reach adolescence and then adulthood is on the rise, little is known about transitional care. It is necessary to generate research and interdisciplinary works to meet the multiple needs of this emerging population, their families and caregivers.
