The transition from adolescents with epilepsy to adults is the change from parent-centered management to individual-centered management. Lack of transitional care will reduce treatment compliance,lead to poor disease control in adolescents and lower their quality of life. Good transitional care is the key to improve the self-management ability of adolescents and promote their transition successfully. This paper reviews the concept,starting time,readiness assessment tools,nursing programs and influencing factors of transition,so as to provide references for the research and development of transition for adolescents with epilepsy in China.
