Feasibility of the FACETS program for adult sickle-cell patients

Main criterion is assessing feasibility. Composite criterion including three sub-criteria are : 1. Participation rate in the main sessions of the program. This criterion will be met if the participant attends at least 4 of the 6 sessions of the program. 2. Success rate in completing home exercises. This criterion will be met if the participant completes at least 50% of the home exercises assigned at the end of each session. 3. Acquisition of fatigue management skills. This criterion will be met if the participant has been able to implement one of the fatigue management techniques proposed by the Drépa-FACETS program in their daily life. The main criterion for evaluating the feasibility/acceptability of the DrépaFACETS program will be met if 2 of the 3 sub-criteria are met.
