Stress Management and Mindfulness Intervention for Patients with Sickle Cell Disease
What this trial is about
The purpose of this research is to determine whether a new stress management and mindfulness program can improve quality of life in individuals with sickle cell disease. The program is based on a number of empirically supported treatments including techniques from cognitive-behavioral therapy like overcoming motivational barriers to self-care, learning to see things as accurately as possible, practicing assertive communication, relaxation exercises like deep slow breathing, mindfulness meditation, and other stress management strategies.
