Sickle Cell Disease Teaching Presentation
- 1. Assessment & Vulnerability Protection of Patients with Sickle Cell Disease By Tosin Ola, RN
- 3. Genetics and the Transmission of SCD
Editor's Notes
- Health disparities refer to gaps in the quality of health and healthcare across racial, ethnic and socioeconomic groups (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services [HHS], January, 2000, p. 2). The Healthy People 2010 initiative, a set of health promotion and disease prevention objectives for the nation, aims to eliminate health disparities by the year 2010 (Goldberg et al., 2004, p. 2). Populations with SCD are at risk for disparities primarily because of the lack of knowledge on the part of the healthcare providers regarding the disease; inadequate pain management and prejudice among the staff (Tanabe & Myers, 2007). This presentation will attempt to bridge those barriers by providing education regarding SCD, eliminating prejudice and increasing awareness of the practitioner to this particular vulnerable group.
