Bright IDEAS problem-solving skills training for caregivers of children with sickle cell disease: A two-site pilot feasibility trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Bright IDEAS problem-solving skills training (BI) is an evidence-based behavioral intervention that has been utilized extensively with caregivers of children recently diagnosed with cancer. Considerable evidence has shown that BI is acceptable to caregivers of children recently diagnosed with cancer, and improvements in problem-solving skills mediate reduced symptoms of distress.

Procedures

A slightly modified version of BI was offered to caregivers of children with sickle cell disease (SCD) in a two-site pilot feasibility trial. BI was modified to reduce barriers to care, logistical challenges, and stigma associated with receiving behavioral health services. Our goal was to establish high rates of recruitment and retention among caregivers of children with SCD. R
