Sickle cell pain crises often results in emergency department visits, with delays in receiving pain relief. Pain from sickle cell disease accounts for 90% of hospital admissions. While sickle cell pain clinics have been established successfully in the US there is limited evidence of the establishment of sickle cell pain clinics in the Middle East. The basis of theoretical thinking in nursing lies in delineation of the concepts that are relevant to the discipline. By using Walker and Avant's (2011) concept analysis method, the author reviewed the literature to better understand sickle cell pain clinics as a concept. In conducting this concept analysis, Walker and Avant's framework was applied to examine the nature of the findings selected for the advancement of the concept. After identifying the concept, a hospital in Riyadh implemented a Sickle Cell Pain Clinic. Donabedian model was used for the implementation of the concept. The clinic allowed patients to receive pain management treatment without any delay, helping to reduce emergency department visits in an already overcrowded Emergency Department and it also helped to reduce hospital readmissions.

The evaluation of these services is an important component of these programs and health professionals should have the requisite knowledge, confidence, and skills to evaluate the impact of the services they provide. However, Nursing staff are seldom adequately prepared by their training or work experience to do this well. In this article the researchers provide a suitable framework and guidance to enable nursing staff to appropriately undertake useful program evaluation. We introduced and discussed Program Evaluation and provided guidelines for its implementation. The framework presented distinguishes program evaluation from research and encourages nursing staff to apply an evaluative judgment, in order that value the merit, worth, and significance of programs can be made.
