Overview

Cross-sectional survey evaluated clinician attitudes toward palliative care for sickle cell disease, suggesting improved education could enhance patient outcomes.

Key Points

  • Clinicians recognize the benefits of palliative care in improving quality of life for patients with sickle cell disease.
  • Eighty-three percent of clinicians agreed that patients with sickle cell disease would benefit from palliative care, but many have not worked collaboratively with palliative care teams.
  • The survey indicated most clinicians have no prior training in palliative care, highlighting a gap that needs addressing.
  • Cultivating education opportunities about palliative care for clinicians could lead to improved collaboration in outpatient settings.
