Abstract
Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a genetic disorder characterized by periodic and unexpected pain crises known as vaso-occlusive crises which often necessitate emergency department (ED) use. However, patients with SCD have reported barriers to receiving optimal care when they present to the ED in pain. Using the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), this study aimed to elicit the salient beliefs regarding patient experience when seeking care for pain in the ED among individuals with SCD.
