- Abstract
Objective: To analyze the social implications of sickle cell anemia in the life of the person with the disease. Method: Descriptive, exploratory, quantitative study conducted with 80 people with sickle cell anemia. Data were collected from January to July 2016 at the Center of Hematology and Hemotherapy of Piauí, through a questionnaire to obtain socioeconomic, demographic and clinical data. The data were tabulated in the Microsoft Excel 2010 program and arranged in tables and graphs. Results: Pain crises were the most frequent complications (70%), (77.5%) reported not having received orientation about the disease and (62.5%) did not live in the city where the treatment was performed. Conclusion: Sickle cell anemia has negative implications for a person's life, such as failure or dropout. Thus, health professionals should develop strategies for coping with the disease, thus increasing the quality of life of this public.
