摘要
Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a hereditary blood disorder affecting the shape of the red blood cells that block blood vessels leading to organ damage and frequent erratic painful episodes. SCD is a global public health issue affecting millions of people throughout the world. This article explores (a) what SCD is; (b) the physical and psychosocial impacts of the disease; (c) the challenges and opportunities associated with sickle cell prevention, education, and management; and (d) the implications for social work policy, practice, and research associated with the identified challenges and opportunities.
