| dc.description.abstract | For the individual with sickle cell disease (SCD), the lifespan is increasing but
adults report decreased quality of life (QOL), low self-efficacy, and ineffective coping
skills. The care of adult patients with SCD requires a complex multidisciplinary team
approach with focus not only on physiological, psychological, and social needs, but also
on spiritual needs. Quality of life, spirituality, and self-efficacy have been sparsely and
separately studied in individuals with SCD. These three constructs have never been
combined in one study in the adult SCD population. | en_US |
