Abstract
Forty-one children with sickle cell disease (SCD) completed the Working Memory Index of the WISC-IV. Caregivers completed the Pediatric Inventory for Parents. Stress related to parenting children with SCD is associated with working memory deficits in SCD patients, suggesting the need for parenting interventions to teach caregivers relevant coping strategies.
