AbstractThis study examined the frequency of information-seeking coping behaviors in 37 African-American children (ages 5-17 years) with sickle cell disease during venipuncture. The relationships between coping behaviors and child- and parent-reported pain and observational distress were also assessed. The majority of children attended to the procedure, but did not seek information via questions. This pattern of coping was only partially effective at reducing distress and had no relation to pain. This pattern of coping is discussed within the context of cultural factors that may be important in understanding responses to procedural pain in pediatric sickle cell disease.Copyright © 2013 American Society for Pain Management Nursing.
