Background of the Study
Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a genetic disorder that causes episodes of severe pain, known as sickle cell crises, which are among the most common and debilitating symptoms of the disease. Managing pain in SCD patients is critical for improving their quality of life. Nurses play a central role in managing pain, offering both pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions to alleviate discomfort during crises.
In Katsina State, where access to specialized pain management may be limited, the role of nurses in managing pain in SCD patients is even more critical. This study aims to evaluate the effect of nurse-led interventions, such as pain education, medication management, and emotional support, on reducing pain in patients with SCD.
Statement of the Problem
Despite the availability of pain management interventions, many SCD patients still experience unrelieved pain. The effectiveness of nurse-led interventions in reducing pain during sickle cell crises in Katsina State remains unclear. This study seeks to investigate how nurses can improve pain management for these patients through targeted interventions.
Objectives of the Study
-
To evaluate the effectiveness of nurse-led interventions in reducing pain in sickle cell disease patients in Katsina State.
-
To explore the types of interventions nurses use to manage pain in SCD patients.
-
To assess patient satisfaction with nurse-led pain management interventions.
Research Questions
-
How effective are nurse-led interventions in reducing pain in sickle cell disease patients in Katsina State?
-
What types of nurse-led interventions are used to manage pain in SCD patients in Katsina State?
-
How satisfied are SCD patients with the pain management interventions provided by nurses in Katsina State?
Research Hypotheses
-
Nurse-led interventions significantly reduce pain in sickle cell disease patients during crises in Katsina State.
-
Nurse-led interventions involving education, pain relief strategies, and emotional support are the most effective in reducing pain in SCD patients.
-
Sickle cell disease patients in Katsina State are satisfied with nurse-led pain management interventions.
Scope and Limitations of the Study
The study will focus on patients with sickle cell disease in the Federal Medical Centre, Katsina State. Limitations may include difficulty in accurately measuring pain levels and variability in nursing interventions across different nurses.
