Quality of life in college students with a chronic health condition: The role of perceived maturity, transition readiness, and grit
Abstract
Adolescents and young adults (AYA) with a chronic medical condition (CMC) who are
pursuing higher education must also learn to independently manage their own healthcare (i.e.,
transition readiness). Additionally, levels of maturity and grit, have been previously linked to
positive outcomes in AYAs (i.e., life satisfaction). Previous research has also established a
positive relationship between transition readiness and quality of life. In this manner, it may be
that transition readiness is a mediator of maturity and quality of life.
