Abstract
Aim
This study aims to explore the experiences of young adults and their parents regarding joint consultations during their transition from the Children to the Adult Outpatient Clinic, based on a transition project at Odense University Hospital.
Methods
Individual interviews were conducted with ten young adults (aged 17–18 years) and six parents, using a phenomenological-hermeneutic approach. Transcripts were analysed using a pragmatic approach for text condensation.
Results
The analysis revealed three main themes: ‘A feeling of security’, highlighting the importance of the familiar nurse in the transition, communication about the adult clinic, and building personal relationships with the new healthcare professionals; ‘A fear for the Adult Outpatient Clinic’, describing how the unknown could create anxiety and concerns about whether the adult outpatient clinic has sufficient medical and educational resources; and ‘Parental participation and responsibility’, highlighting the need for balancing independence and the importance of parental involvement.
Conclusion
Joint consultations appear to have a positive impact on young adults and their parents during the transition. However, more scientific evidence is needed in this area.

The journal aims to reflect the broad interests of nurses and the nursing profession, and to challenge nurses on emerging areas of interest. It publishes research articles and scholarly discussion of nursing practice, policy and professional issues.
Papers published in the journal are peer reviewed by a double blind process using reviewers who meet high standards of academic and clinical expertise. Invited papers that contribute to nursing knowledge and debate are published at the discretion of the Editor.
The journal, online only from 2016, is available to members of ACN and also by separate subscription.
