Educational technology on COVID-19 for families of children and adolescents with sickle cell disease

Abstract

Objective: to construct and validate educational technology on COVID-19 and essential care for families of children/adolescents with sickle cell disease. Methods: this is a methodological study, in three stages: 1) elaborated educational technology, using the Doak, Doak and Root theoretical-methodological model; 2) content and appearance validation by the content validity coefficient. Delphi technique was applied in two rounds (Delphi I [12 judges]/Delphi II [11 judges]); 3) conducting a pilot test with six families. Results: “Sickle cell disease and COVID-19: essential care” included: consequences of COVID-19 in sickle cell disease, guidelines for reducing the risks of contracting the virus and having complications, signs and symptoms of COVID-19, guidelines in case of child/adolescent with suspicion or symptoms of COVID-19. Global content validity coefficient (Delphi II): 0.98. Conclusion: educational technology presented content and appearance validity for families of children/adolescents with sickle cell disease, related to COVID-19.

Covid-19 in Adolescent Patients in the Brazilian Population With Sickle Cell Anemia

“…When evaluating the quality design of the selected articles, which was expressed in Figure 02, it was possible to observe that the mean for the total score was 21 points (presenting SD= 1.07) according to the Down and Black instrument [22.23] pg. 340 [17][18][19][20].…”

“…In the analysis of the 217 articles, few publications were observed with the theme of the review, and when analyzing the four articles on patients with sickle cell anemia with COVID-19 included in this study in adolescents, it was verified that it was from the period of 2020 that the first studies with this approach began to appear [14,[17][18][19][20].…”

“…Initially, 217 articles was identified, of which 213 were withdrawn because they were not related to the theme of the review, or because they were duplicated or did not have the abstract. The 04 articles selected were classified into two thematic axes to be performed the analysis [17][18][19][20].…”

“…Sociodemographic profile from the perspective of patients or groups of patients (45%, n= 01) [17,18,20]. Percentage of the complication rate in patients with sickle cell anemia undergoing treatment for COVID-19 (45%, n=01) [17][18][19][20]. We analyzed 04 articles related to patients with sickle cell anemia with worsening possibility for COVID-19 [17][18][19][20].…”

“…Percentage of the complication rate in patients with sickle cell anemia undergoing treatment for COVID-19 (45%, n=01) [17][18][19][20]. We analyzed 04 articles related to patients with sickle cell anemia with worsening possibility for COVID-19 [17][18][19][20]. These were included the 04 articles that dealt with the immunological characteristics of the young population with sickle cell anemiarme that presented worsening the positive cases of COVID-19 [17][18][19][20].…”
