Introduction: Non-pharmacological interventions have been shown to have an impact on the quality of life of young adults living at home with neurological conditions. Randomised controlled trials are used to test interventions (Greenhalgh 2014), i.e. non-pharmacological interventions. According to hospital episode statistics (Health & Social Care Information Centre 2015) 42% of hospital admissions were due to neurological conditions. Indeed London as a city on its own, neurological conditions account for 10% of hospital admissions (Strategic Clinical Networks 2015). With 17% of all hospital admissions in London (Strategic Clinical Networks 2015) being due to neurological conditions, it is imperative to explore the impact of non-pharmacological interventions on quality of life. Within research itself (DH 2014, DH 2005, NICE 2014) there is a lack of standards to measure the quality of life and there is also a lack of evidence of the impact of non-pharmacological interventions on that very quality of life. While there is a need to explore the impact on quality of life, there is also a need to gain insight into how the quality of life is both manifested and accounted for. Randomised controlled trails (RCT), while effective in experiments (Greenhalgh 2014) are useful evidence in this subjective analysis of quality of life. According to the National Service Framework (NSF) for Older People (DH 2004) any person below the age of 65 is considered a young adult. Similarly the National
In “Changes in the transition to adulthood in the UK and Canada: the role of structure and agency in emerging adulthood” by James Côté and John M. Bynner, they discuss the exclusion processes in education and the workplace that restrict young people from experiencing the developmental processes that benefit all emerging adults. Essentially, the notion of adulthood is becoming longer than it used to be due to economical and societal restrictions. In the article, Côté and Bynner refer to Jeffery Arnett, who argues that young adulthood is now in reference to the thirties rather than the twenties (Côté and Bynner 253). This is in

16-19 years | This is the stage where young people become young adults, and are often at the peak of their physical performance. Almost all girls will have reached physical maturity, boys will continue to mature into their mid-20 's. | By the time they have left school they will be thinking about their pathway for their career, whether it involves college or university. | Young people enter adulthood but still require advise and guidance from adults.

Patients were given a questionnaire by a research assistant who didn’t know aims/hypothesis etc, about how happy and active they felt and how much control they felt they had over life events. They answered on a scale from 0-8, 0=none & 8=total.
This is where the age of “old” became debatable, today you wouldn’t regard someone only being 50 as old, this would be middle-aged. When we use the word old, you tend to think of someone being a pensioner, anyone in the age bracket of 65+ and collecting their state pension, although the government state “default retirement age – a forced retirement age of 65 no longer exists . It would seem strange that the SPS would regard someone as old at the age of 50 when they couldn’t claim their state
There are many factors that constitute being an adult. An adult is much more than turning the age of 18. The definition in the dictionary states an adult means being completely grown: fully developed and mature. I think there is much more that defines an adult. In the United States an adult is considered to be someone who takes responsibility of themselves and their actions. An adult has stability in their life and is able to take care of themselves physically, mentally, financially and emotionally. In other countries and cultures there definition of an adult differs.
I interviewed “Lessmusclethenkevin”, age 14, on November 7th, 2014. I believe that Lessmusclethenkevin is Young Adult based on my interview. A young adult is a stage of life that Erikson’s theory of Psychosocial Development states a person goes through. Erikson’s theory states that every single person goes through the same 8 stages of life in different ways. So using his theory I interviewed lessmusclethenkevin. I believe that he is in front of his normal stage of development in comparison to his age. The reasons that lead me to this conclusion are that he showed remarkable maturity, incredible intelligence, and little interest in what the other Adolescents are doing. If my hypothesis is correct, this would mean his maturity/stage of development
Age is just a number that reflects how long you’ve been alive in the man-made occurrence that is time. The number of years someone has been on Earth does not dictate how mature they are.

There are four definitions of the term adult: biological, legal, social, and psychological. The biological definition of an adult is the age in which people can reproduce. The legal definition of an adult is when a person is able to vote, get a driver’s license, marry without consent, etc. The social definition of an adult is the age at which people start performing adult roles in society, such as a full time worker, spouse, parent, or voting citizen. The psychological definition, the most obscure definition, is when a person arrives at a self-concept and become responsible for their life (Knowles, Holton & Swanson, 2012). The ages in which one could be considered an adult is very broad with these definitions; however, every soldier meets at least three of the four definitions.
