Study summary

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.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. 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,

    Time frame: pre and immediately post intervention and post 2 after 1 month

  2. 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.

    Time frame: pre and immediately post intervention and post 2 after 1 month

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Start is estimated for Sep 2026; primary completion for Dec 2026, 3 months later.

Of 165 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Anemia, Sickle Cell, half reached primary completion within 28 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 17 and three quarters within 54. This study's planned 3 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 173 studies reached it within 28 months; a quarter within 15 and three quarters within 49.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Sep 3, 2026, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
