Abstract

Cerebral palsy (CP) is a lifelong condition that affects 1.5-3.4 per 1000 children worldwide. As they grow older, these children must transition from pediatric to adult healthcare services. This transition comes with stress and uncertainty for a population that is already at a higher risk of poor mental health. This paper discusses what is known about mental health in youth with CP and its impact on their transition within the medical system. It also uses a biopsycho-ecological framework to understand how transition impacts several domains of their life including family structure and social participation. Actionable guidance for medical providers and caregivers is given to promote a healthier transition process.

转变观点：脑瘫青年的心理健康和向成年的过渡。

脑瘫是一种终身疾病，全世界每1000名儿童中有1.5-3.4人受到影响。随着年龄的增长，这些儿童必须从儿科医疗服务过渡到成人医疗服务。这一转变伴随着压力和不确定性，这一人群已经处于心理健康状况不佳的高风险之中。本文讨论了什么是已知的心理健康的青少年与CP及其影响他们在医疗系统内的过渡。它还使用生物心理生态框架来理解过渡如何影响他们生活的几个领域，包括家庭结构和社会参与。为医疗提供者和护理人员提供了可操作的指导，以促进更健康的过渡进程。
