Chronic disease self-management programs are a combination of strategies that increase self-efficacy and promote self-management behaviors. The present study aimed to determine the effectiveness of self-management programs on self-efficacy in patients with sickle cell disease. Methods: In the present quasi-experimental study, 53 patients with sickle cell disease admitted to the Thalassemia Clinic of Shafa Hospital of Ahwaz entered the study through the census method. The self-management program was implemented in two individual training sessions, a large group training session and two small group training sessions over 12 weeks. The patients' self-efficacy was assessed before the intervention, at the twelfth week and then the thirty-sixth week using the sickle cell self-efficacy scale (SCSES). Data were analyzed in SPSS/19 using descriptive statistics, including the chi-squared test, the t-test and the repeated measures test. Result: The repeated measures test and the analysis of variance showed a significant difference between the overall scores and the scores obtained for the self-efficacy sub-groups in the twelfth week and the thirty-sixth week following the intervention compared to before (P SP - 12 EP - 22 AU - Ahmadi, Mehrnaz AU - Shariati, Abdolali AU - Jahani, Simin AU - Poormansouri, Saeed AD - Kashan University of Medical Sciences KW - Sickle Cell KW - Self-management KW - Self Efficacy UR - http://nmj.umsha.ac.ir/article-1-1297-en.html ER -
