Brief Summary: The goal of this research study is to reduce stress and improve sickle cell disease SCD pain control and sleep quality with less opioid use by determining the feasibility of an intervention with self-management combined intercessory and petitionary prayer named Pray Until Something Happens PUSH stress reduction intervention using a mobile smart device Currently opioid analgesics are primarily used to treat SCD pain while self-managed behavioral modalities such as PUSH are rarely used Little is known about the effects or mechanisms of PUSH on pain stress and sleep symptoms in adults with SCD Emerging evidence from the hypothalamic pituitary adrenal HPA axis theory offer insights for understanding the mechanisms Adding PUSH as a supplement to analgesic therapies will address the dearth of self-management strategies for controlling pain in SCD PUSH is a simple and cost-effective non-drug intervention that could reduce pain and stress in inpatients with SCD GR is an intervention where inpatients with SCD are directed to listen to the audio recordings of the PUSH prayer session
Detailed Description: The purpose of this research study is to see if a new computerized stress reduction program called Pray Until Something Happens PUSH stress reduction intervention can be used to teach people who have sickle cell disease SCD how to track their stress and pain daily and use guided audio-visual relaxation exercises to help them reduce their stress and pain To obtain preliminary data for a larger randomized controlled trial we propose to recruit 30 adult outpatients with SCD

The investigators will stratify patients on worst pain intensity 5 and 5 and randomly assign 15 adults to Attention Control Daily stresspain tracking on Days 1-6 and 15 adults to Experimental PUSH Prayer Fellowship on Day 1 and daily stresspain tracking and PUSH intervention on Days 2-6 groups

Immediate effects on pain stress and relaxation responses after the PUSH Prayer Fellowship will be examined Patients will continue the trial for additional 6 days with self-management on Days 2-6 and posttest on Day 7 while hospitalized to test short-term 7 days effects of PUSH on outcomes pain stress sleep quality and opioid use

During Days 2-6 the experimental group will participate in an audiovisual Zoom recorded prayer session that will be conducted specifically for each patient by the interventionist Following the prayer session the link to the recorded prayer is uploaded to the PAINReportIt program Patients will access the recorded prayer session on Days 2-6 These patients will listen to the recorded PUSH prayer session at stress onset and as often as they desire We will investigate mechanisms by which PUSH produces its effects in adult outpatients with SCD
