Summary

Sickle cell disease (SCD), a genetically transmitted blood disease, necessitates life-long care. In children, the disease may cause intense pain and other severe complications. Studies show that sources of stress, as well as complex psychological and intercultural issues associated with SCD, often aggravate symptoms. At Louis Mourier hospital, the treatment model used is systematic psychological and medical care. Our hypothesis is that this care is beneficial for both the children and their families as seen in improved quality of life and positive impact on medical symptoms.
