Abstract

This research looked at the teachers, awareness of sickle cell anemia among senior secondary school students academic performance in Enugu East Local Government area of Enugu State. The three primary questions guided the course of the investigation. The study's research methodology was a descriptive survey. The study's population consisted of 300 teachers, while the sample size was 150 respondents. The instrument for collecting the data was a questionnaire. The tool was face-validated by three specialists, including one from Measurement and Evaluation and two from the Biology Department. Using the collected data, the dependability coefficient was computed using Cronbach Alpha, yielding a value of 0.96. The data was analyzed using mean and standard deviation. According to the results, students with SCA often do poorly academically and are more likely to experience unexpected illness, inattention, and signs of stress and worry. All things considered, students with SCA could need more educational help and testing to achieve well academically, particularly in biology. The following suggestions were put forth: It is important to let parents know that SCA is a very variable syndrome and that it is extremely hard to anticipate the clinical course with any degree of accuracy. For children with SCA, DNA analysis may be helpful in both testing for α thalassaemia and making an accurate diagnosis. Differentiating between moderate and severe β+thalassaemia variations is crucial since they have somewhat diverse clinical courses. Individuals with SCA who have low hemoglobin, high reticulocyte counts, and a low HbF % are more prone to have more serious clinical problems. As a result, they should get extra care assistance.
