Abstract
Introduction
Sickle cell disease (SCD) is the most common monogenic disease, and is characterised by extreme pain episodes. Despite available efficacious treatments, adherence rates are low leading to high hospitalisation rate.
Objective
Explore the relationship between hydroxyurea adherence among adults with SDC and illness perceptions.
Method
We performed a cross-sectional study among 211 adults with SCD and assessed illness perception, their adherence and their cognitions about their treatment.
Results
The adherence rate was very low, and patients reported misconceptions regarding SCD. The factor analysis of the illness perception dimensions revealed a two-factor model, accounting for 66.5% of the total variance. Based on the factor analysis, three clusters of participants were identified corresponding to three types of perceptions of SCD and different levels of adherence.
Conclusion
The combination of a low capacity to adapt to their illness (factor 1) with a strong negative experience of their health condition (factor 2) seems negatively link to the therapeutic adherence of adults with SCD.
期刊介绍:
The aim of the Revue européenne de Psychologie appliquée / European Review of Applied Psychology is to promote high-quality applications of psychology to all areas of specialization, and to foster exchange among researchers and professionals. Its policy is to attract a wide range of contributions, including empirical research, overviews of target issues, case studies, descriptions of instruments for research and diagnosis, and theoretical work related to applied psychology. In all cases, authors will refer to published and verificable facts, whether established in the study being reported or in earlier publications.
