Abstract
Purpose: Adults with sickle cell disease (SCD) are at a higher risk for psychosocial stress; however, there is limited research on how that stress manifests along with the relevant psychosocial experiences in adults with SCD. The purpose of the current integrative review was to synthesize the current research on psychosocial experiences among adults aged 18 to 40 years with SCD.
Method: PubMed, CINAHL, and PsycINFO were searched for relevant articles, with 12 articles ultimately included in this study.
Results: Across studies, adults with SCD were at a higher risk for psychosocial stress based on objective measurements and qualitative interviews.
Conclusion: Findings demonstrate the importance of routinely screening for psychosocial stress using objective measures, and the need to create a psychologically safe environment for people with SCD to express their concerns.
