This paper examines Sickle Cell Disease (SCD), a chronic condition affecting predominantly individuals of African decent. The study describes the health and ratings of Adult African Americans with SCD using a Self-Evaluation of Life Function Scale. The majority of the respondents scored in the favorable range on the SELF scales suggesting good adaptation to their condition. Based on respondents comments more information and support would be beneficial, especially supportive counseling, occupational therapy intervention, and instruction to aid in self care management and job issues. |
