Brief Summary

This study aimed to To investigate the effect of empowerment-based interventions (EBI) on self-efficacy and self-care capacity among adults with Sickle Cell Disease (SCD). The hypotheses of this study were: Adults with SCD who receive EBI exhibit higher self-efficacy, self- management capacity and HRQoL than those who do not.

Conditions

Self-Efficacy; Self-Care

Keywords

Sickle Cell Disease; Self-efficacy; Self-Management; Activities of Daily Living

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Sickle Cell Self-Efficacy

  This scale was designed by Edwards et al. (2000) to assess the self-appraisals of adult patients with sickle cell disease for their ability to engage in daily functional activities(22). It is composed of nine items rated on a five-point Likert scale ranging from "not at all sure" to "very sure cell disease for their ability to engage in daily functional activities. It is composed of nine items rated on a five-point Likert scale ranging from "not at all sure" to "very sure." The total score ranged from 9 to 45, with higher scores indicating higher levels of self-efficacy.

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Patients in the control group received standard health education from SCD clinics in the HC. The clinic employs a multidisciplinary team, including a nurse, a physician, a health record clerk, a laboratory technician, a social worker, and a health promotion specialist, to provide integrated patient health services. It consists of both preventative and curative services. The nurses at the health center provide patients with information regarding factors that may cause vaso-occlusion and precipitate VOCs when to seek emergency care and educate patients on the significance of regular medical examinations and screening using different standardized audiovisual aids.
