Summary
Adolescent development involves physical, psychological and social changes. There are details of how nurses can support young people through these changes.
Physical changes
Physical changes in adolescence start with different developments in boys and girls. The nurse can help by explaining these changes to the young person and their parents.
Psychosocial development
Adolescents need to develop a sense of identity. They also need to learn to manage stress and relationships. Nurses can help by understanding these processes and guiding parents and young people.
Health and safety
Adolescents face specific health and safety risks. These include accidents, eating disorders and risky behaviours. Nurses can help by educating adolescents and their parents about these risks.
Communication and support
Effective communication is key to supporting adolescents. Nurses can advise parents on how to communicate with their children. They can also suggest strategies for dealing with specific issues.
