The Partners in Bleeding Disorders Education Program is offering a new educational module to address the unique challenges facing individuals and families affected by inhibitors. The target audience for this activity includes psychosocial professionals, nurses and other healthcare providers at hemophilia treatment centers who are involved in the care of persons with congenital hemophilia who have an inhibitor to clotting factors VIII or IX.
The module is designed to meet the following 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 an inhibitor versus persons without an inhibitor
-
Identify differences in HRQoL for parents/caregivers of persons with an inhibitor versus parents/caregivers of persons without an inhibitor
-
Compare differences in HRQoL for persons with an inhibitor on bleed and nonbleed days
-
Compare differences in HRQoL for the physical and psychosocial domains for persons with an inhibitor on prophylaxis versus those receiving on-demand treatment
-
Identify strategies for psychosocial interventions for persons with an inhibitor
