Abstrakt: Introduction: Oral anticoagulation Self-control programs have demonstrated efficiency over recent years.
Objective: The aim of the study was to evaluate the level of knowledge and coagulation level of self-controlled anticoagulated patients after an educational program.
Design: A quasi-experimental study, pre-test and post-test. SITE: Health area of the Hematology Service of the Virgen de la Victoria University Hospital (Málaga, Spain).
Participants: Self-monitored anticoagulated patients.
Interventions: Educational intervention about oral anticoagulation knowledge focused on patients that will initiate the self-control program in our consultation.
Main Measurements: To check the patient's adherence and coagulation level, we evaluated the Rosendaal Time in Therapeutic Rank (TTRr), both before and after the intervention.
Results: 145 patients have been included from 2016 to 2022 with a mean age of 49.18 years (SD 17.24). The mean score for the first test about knowledge was 14.61 (SD 3.26) and the mean score for the second test was 17.01 (SD 2.14) (p <0.001). Values before and after interventions were also statistically significant (67.46 vs 70.53, p<0.001).
Conclusions: The results showed that knowledge improved after the training session and the TTR values are better after the training which appears to be an effective action to improve the knowledge about oral anticoagulation in these patients.
