AI Article Synopsis
- - The review focused on identifying behavioral interventions for children aged 0-18 with sickle cell disease (SCD), following PRISMA guidelines and analyzing 27 studies.
- - Six intervention types were identified: disease knowledge, self-management, pain management, school functioning, cognitive health, and mental health, with most studies focusing on children aged 5 and older.
- - The findings suggest that interventions aimed at educating children about their disease, managing pain, and promoting self-care are beneficial, highlighting the need for more research on young children and the developmental impacts of SCD.
Article Abstract
This review aimed to identify and describe individual-level behavioral interventions for children 0-18 years of age with sickle cell disease (SCD). PRISMA guidelines were followed at each stage of this review. Twenty-seven studies were included, representing six intervention types: disease knowledge (n = 7), self-management (n = 7), pain management (n = 4), school functioning (n = 4), cognitive health (n = 4), and mental health (n = 2). Most interventions targeted older children (5+ years), while only two examined interventions for children 0-3 years. This review suggests that offering education about disease knowledge, self-management, and pain management interventions can be beneficial for this population. Future research is needed to understand interventions to support young children and the impact of SCD on development.
