The psychological impact on family caregivers of children and adolescents with sickle cell anemia
Keywords:
Adjustment, psychological, Coping, Psychosocial impact, StressAbstract
Sickle cell anemia represents an aversive context, placing the family in a situation of vulnerability. This study investigated the psychological impact of sickle cell anemia on family caregivers of children and adolescents with this disease. A research with a quantitative approach followed by a survey was carried out, with a non-probabilistic sample of 100 caregivers who answered the instruments for measuring family functioning, disease-related stress, coping, anxiety, and depression. Clinical and sociodemographic characteristics were obtained from medical records and specific protocols. Caregivers of children with late diagnosis presented high disengaged coping scores, and minimum depression; early diagnosis was associated with mild depression. Family functioning domain scores were lower in families with younger children. Regression analyses showed that primary control coping indicates lower depression scores, and involuntary engagement is a predictor of depression/anxiety. This study contributes to the understanding of the relationship between psychological, clinical, and sociodemographic variables in the context of sickle cell anemia.
