Material and Methods: A total of 25 individuals (19 male, 6 female) diagnosed with SCD were included in the study. Pulmonary system, quality of life and pain was measured. Pain in rest and activity was questioned with Visual Analog Scale. The quality of life was assessed by the Short Form-36 (SF-36) Scale. Results: It was determined that the individuals experienced an important level of pain in rest and activity levels, however it was seen that the pain level in activity was higher. It was determined that the oxygen saturation average was 91% and incidence of secretion and the number of coughing individuals was 6 and that 2 individuals used accessory respiration muscles. It was also found out that the SF-36 Scale’s parameters’ scores were low and that the quality of life of individuals were negatively affected. There was a moderate, negative and significant correlation between pain in rest and SF-36 Scale’s physical function, pain, general health, mental health parameters. Conclusion: It has been concluded that in the treatment of patients with SCD, although it is not mentioned in patient history, pain related problems should be taken into consideration. We believe that pulmonary and pain rehabilitation to patients with SCD will support their wellbeing.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessBiyokimya ve Moleküler BiyolojiAnatomi ve MorfolojiPeriferal Damar HastalıklarıKalp ve Kalp Damar SistemiSolunum SistemiİmmünolojiDermatolojiGöz HastalıklarıPatolojiKlinik NörolojiOdyoloji ve Konuşma-Dil PatolojisiNörolojik GörüntülemeRadyolojiNükleer TıpTıbbi GörüntülemeTransplantasyonAcil TıpEnfeksiyon HastalıklarıHalk ve Çevre SağlığıTıbbi İnformatikGeriatri ve GerontolojiNörolojik BilimlerHematolojiTıbbi Laboratuar TeknolojisiTıbbi EtikAdli TıpKadın Hastalıkları ve DoğumGastroenteroloji ve HepatolojiTemel Sağlık HizmetleriCerrahiHücre BiyolojisiOrtopediGenel ve Dahili TıpPediatriTamamlayıcı ve Entegre TıpSağlık Bilimleri ve HizmetleriBiyokimyasal Araştırma MetotlarıKulakBurunBoğazTıbbi Araştırmalar DeneyselPsikiyatriBiyofizikYoğun BakımTıpFizyolojiEndokrinoloji ve MetabolizmaAndrolojiBiyoteknoloji ve Uygulamalı MikrobiyolojiGelişim BiyolojisiGerontolojiAnesteziRehabilitasyonOnkolojiMikrobiyolojiSpor BilimleriTropik TıpAlerjiÜroloji ve NefrolojiRomatolojiArticle252262265
