Participants were invited for a semi-structured interview. Qualitative data were analyzed through the Atlas.ti 7 program using triangulation methods.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results\/conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>We identified five themes concerning the experience and challenges of adolescents relating to: (1) emotional\/psychological issues; (2) the progress of the illness; (3) relationship issues; (4) future preparation; and, (5) school and community. These themes were identified together with eleven subcategories. The staff expressed support for the development of the Adolescent Transition Psychoeducational Program and adolescents with CHD\/CRHD and their parents were willing to participate in the program if their schedule allowed. Their suggestions to improve the program were classified into six categories, with two main themes, (1) the self-management of illness in life and the future; and, (2) social support. In conclusion, the findings from the situation analysis act as a basis for a conceptual framework that will contribute to the development of an Adolescent Transition Psychoeducational Program that aims to empower adolescents with CHD\/CRHD, enabling them to manage challenges during the transition phase between childhood and adulthood.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fpsyg.2020.481176","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,1,27]],"date-time":"2021-01-27T06:15:56Z","timestamp":1611728156000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Challenges for Adolescents With Congenital Heart Defects\/Chronic Rheumatic Heart Disease and What They Need: Perspectives From Patients, Parents and Health Care Providers at the Institut Jantung Negara (National Heart Institute), Malaysia"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Sue Kiat","family":"Tye","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Geetha","family":"Kandavello","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Syarifah Azizah","family":"Wan Ahmadul Badwi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hariyati Sharima","family":"Abdul Majid","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,1,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"799","DOI":"10.21037\/cdt.2018.12.06","article-title":"Current research status on the psychological situation of adults with congenital heart disease.","volume":"8","author":"Andonian","year":"2018","journal-title":"Cardiovasc.
