The National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR) awarded a $159,432 Project Grant (CFDA 93.361 - Nursing Research) to the University of Pittsburgh to assess communication needs, adapt the SBAR3 patient-provider communication intervention, and evaluate its feasibility and acceptability for improving assertive communication among adults with sickle cell disease (SCD) and their healthcare providers. The project aims to fill an evidence gap by understanding communication challenges in SCD care and developing an intervention to enhance patient-provider interactions, which are critical for improving treatment adherence and disease outcomes in this vulnerable population. The two-year project will employ qualitative and human-centered design methods to engage stakeholders in the adaptation and pilot testing of the SBAR3 intervention prior to a larger randomized controlled trial. This work supports the development of the principal investigator's expertise in patient-provider communication research and implementation science to advance self-care management and health outcomes for minority populations with chronic illnesses.
