About this trial
Sickle-cell disease (SCD) is a genetic disorder that affects hemoglobin, the molecule in red blood cells responsible for carrying oxygen. The disease causes red blood cells to become rigid and sickle-shaped, leading to blockages in blood flow and subsequent pain and organ damage (World Health Organization (WHO),2025).
Patients with sickle cell disease suffer from various complications of the disease during their lifetime, including anemia, sickle cell crises, acute chest syndrome, stroke, renal failure, retinal detachment and priapism. However, unforeseen and chronic pain crisis are the most common symptoms reported by the patients which are considered as the most common causes of referral to the emergency department and hospital to receive medical care in sickle cell patients (Poku, Atkin,\& Kirk,.2023).
Objective(s) of the study:
1. To evaluate the effectiveness of Innovative Educational Methods on self-efficacy in children with sickle cell anemia. 2. To evaluate the effectiveness of Innovative Educational Methods on self-care capacity in children with sickle cell anemia. 3. To find out the relationship between the effectiveness of Innovative Educational Methods on self-efficacy, self-care capacity and demographic characteristics of children with sickle cell anemia.

Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
self-care capacity level
The Appraisal of Self-Care Agency Scale-Revised (ASA-R) According to Orem's self-care theory, Kearney and Fleischer originally developed this scale to assess the health-related self-care capacity level The scale consists of 15 items,
self efficacy
Sickle Cell Self-Efficacy Scale (SCSES): The Sickle Cell Self-Efficacy Scale, adapted from Edwards et al. (2001), was used to assess patients' abilities to manage their SCD and carry out daily activities effectively.
