- Expiration Date: April 30, 2019
Psychosocial Issues and Coping Strategies for Persons and Families Living with an Inhibitor Details
Activity Number and Title
18CE050 - Psychosocial Issues and Coping Strategies for Persons and Families Living with an Inhibitor
Purpose Statement
The purpose of this activity is to enable the learner to address the burden of reduced health-related quality of life (HRQoL) that has been documented among persons and families with inhibitor. This module describes various validated health-related HRQoL instruments and patient testimonials to provide insight into differences in both the physical and mental HRQoL domains for persons with inhibitor and their parents/caregivers versus persons with hemophilia without inhibitor. Highlighting how living with an inhibitor compromises HRQoL, the module offers strategies for effective psychosocial interventions to address these issues in persons with inhibitor and their caregivers and family members. Social workers, nurses, and other healthcare professionals involved in the management of persons with inhibitor will benefit by learning more about interventions to address reduced HRQoL and how to implement them.
Educational Objectives
- Describe the psychosocial, physical, and financial impact of an inhibitor in persons with hemophilia
- Recount differences in health-related quality of life (HRQoL) for persons with inhibitor versus persons without inhibitor
- Identify differences in HRQoL for parents/caregivers of persons with inhibitor versus parents/caregivers of persons without inhibitor
- Compare differences in HRQoL for persons with inhibitor on bleed and nonbleed days
- Compare differences in HRQoL for the physical and psychosocial domains for persons with inhibitor on prophylaxis versus those receiving on-demand treatment
- Identify strategies for psychosocial interventions for persons with inhibitor
Target Audience
This module is intended for psychosocial professionals, nurses, and other health care providers at hemophilia treatment centers (HTCs) who are involved in the care of persons with congenital hemophilia who have an inhibitor to clotting factor VIII or IX.
Topics/Content
The module reviews studies using a variety of validated health-related quality of life (HRQoL) instruments to provide insight into differences in both the physical and mental health domains for persons with inhibitor and their parents/caregivers versus persons with hemophilia without an inhibitor. The module also discusses the differences in HRQoL among persons with an inhibitor based on treatment frequency, age, and adherence. It also covers the impact of inhibitors on HRQoL of parents/caregivers of persons with inhibitor, describes a real-time study of HRQoL differences on bleed vs nonbleed days, and describes the effect of prophylaxis on persons with an inhibitor. The module concludes with an overview of various strategies to psychosocial interventions in persons with an inhibitor.
