Purpose: To investigate parental readiness for their child's transition to adulthood among pediatric patients with chronic disease in Japan.Design and methods: In this cross-sectional study, parents of children with chronic diseases attending a pediatric outpatient hospital completed an anonymous self-administered questionnaire to investigate demographics and parental readiness for children's transition to adulthood. Logistic regression analysis was conducted to determine whether parents' readiness differed according to their children's disease types.Results: A total of 179 parents responded to the survey. Of these, 60% confirmed awareness and knowledge of their children's disease and treatment with their children. They also thought and accepted that there would be a time when their children would move from pediatrics to an adult department. More than half of parents had discussions with their children about the children's interests and would discuss with each other if their children's choice differed from the parents' opinion.
