Development of a Provider-Focused Intervention to Improve Health Outcomes in Pediatric Sickle Cell Disease (NCT07540767)
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The goal of this interventional study is to learn about the impact of an intervention for health care providers that teaches individuation and perspective-taking (IPT) skills to enhance patient-centered communication in pediatric sickle cell disease (SCD). The main question it aims to answer is: Does an intervention that teaches individuation and perspective-taking (IPT) skills to pediatric sickle cell disease (SCD) health care providers (HCPs) enhance patient-centered communication? Researchers will compare the IPT intervention to a control group who will receive education about SCD pain management to see if the IPT intervention improves patient-centered communication. Participants will complete baseline surveys and then be randomly assigned into the intervention or control group. After completing their assigned session (IPT training or education), they will be asked to complete the same surveys as completed at baseline.
