Item Transitional Care(Springer Cham, 2025-04-16) Gossens, Lucy; Hackett, Janine; Rajabally, Hanaa; Ammerlaan, Judy; Ciurtin, Coziana; Hackett, JanineTransitional care continues to be a neglected area of practice in both adult and children’s services, with persisting confusion between the concepts of transition and transfer, often leading to unsatisfactory experiences and poorer long-term outcomes for adolescents and young adults (AYA). Unlike transfer, which is a one-off event, transitional care is a gradual, coordinated and developmentally appropriate, holistic approach, that not only prepares the young person for the eventual transfer to adult services, but attends to wider psychosocial aspects of their life, and other co-occurring transitions related to education, work, home life and other personal and culturally relevant transitions. Importantly, transitional care is person centred and responsive to the unique needs of the AYA which requires effective interpersonal skills, leadership, and flexibility on the part of the health provider, as well as robust policy and protocols. With permission, it also involves the young person’s care givers and supports them to develop their skills and knowledge in supporting AYA during this period. In practice, transitional care requires excellent multidisciplinary and multiagency teamwork, communication, and coordination, which should be planned and documented to ensure consistency with continued AYA support and skill development. In this chapter we briefly outline key components of transitional care and how this might be implemented in a practice setting.Item Adolescent and Young Adult Rheumatology In Clinical Practice(Springer Cham, 2025-04-16) Ciurtin, Coziana; Hackett, Janine; Ciurtin, Coziana; Hackett, JanineThis concise guide takes a practical approach to adolescent and young adult (AYA) rheumatology, encompassing the needs of any healthcare professional working with young people aged 10-24 years. Each chapter contains key management points for readers to readily access disease-specific management, as well as highlighting specific AYA issues and approaches which differ from paediatric and adult practice. Adolescent and Young Adult Rheumatology In Clinical Practice, 2nd Edition has been fully revised with the latest research and clinical findings in the field. The coverage in the book is comprehensive but concise and devised to act as a primary reference tool for AYA practice across the field of rheumatology. The book is designed for paediatric/adult rheumatologists, primary care physicians, nurses and allied health professionals to increase understanding of AYA related topics and enhance the delivery of developmentally appropriate rheumatology health care.Item Beyond the textbook: capturing diverse student voices to envisage future possibilities through creative education(Royal College of Occupational Therapists, 2024-08) Hackett, Janine; Rushforth, Molly; Kinsella, NiamhItem P175 Work Ready Champions for Young People: the role of occupational therapy in addressing the pre-vocational and early-employment needs of young people with long term health conditions [poster](Oxford University Press, 2022-05) Hackett, Janine; Lunt, Laura; Pidgeon, Claire; Farre, Albert; McDonagh, JanetItem Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis(Elsevier Health Sciences, 2010) Hackett, Janine; Johnson, B; Dziedzic, Krysia; Hammond, AlisonItem Making connections, getting connected.

The World Health Organisation International Classification of Disability, Functioning and Health (ICF) framework has introduced a more patient-orientated approach to assessment, incorporating four distinct areas of body structures, body functions, environment and activity limitation. These can be evaluated with both questionnaires and functional tests. Whereas there seems to be agreement over adult hand assessment, children’s hand assessment leaves involved therapists and clinician often wondering, which test to perform. The objective of this review was to evaluate the currently available childrens' hand and upper limb assessment tools within the framework of the ICF. Method A review of 19 of the most commonly used paediatric hand and upper limb assessment tools in the context of the components of the ICF. The International Classification of Disability, Functioning and Health linking rules composed by Cieza et al. were used in order to map each of the meaningful concepts in these assessment tools to the domains of the ICF. Results The activities domain of the ICF was found to be well represented in all assessment tools. Four out of 19 assessment tools had items that mapped to the environment domain. The highest number of different concepts mapped was found in musculoskeletal questionnaires. The lowest number of concepts was found in the pegboard tests. Conclusion Tests are often combined to attempt to cover as many aspects of the ICF yet our findings show that this may not always be achieved. Clinicians and therapists must be aware that in order to get a more complete overview of a child’s hand and upper limb functioning sometimes time- and resource-consuming tests have to be combined.
