| Popis: | Community-dwelling adults are members of society residing in community settings. Community-based adult education is designed for local residents and groups, to enable them to improve their quality of life within their community. Hemophilia is a bleeding disorder that can be inherited or acquired. World Hemophilia Day 2018 helped to raise awareness about the importance of sharing knowledge and the experience of hemophilia, as well as to improve access to care and treatment among people with this bleeding disorder. We used the documentary method of research, which has been adopted in recent review articles, to collect and analyze the findings of published literature on hemophilia. Our results showed that community-dwelling adults with hemophilia have concerns that merit the attention of government and non-governmental agencies. Some challenges faced by many community-dwelling adults with hemophilia include the cost of treatment and employment challenges. Herein, we discuss the implications for community-based health education and nursing with respect to patient care, adult education, nursing education, management, research, and policy. Finally, the authors note that sustainable efforts are needed in the provision of local, national and international leadership and educational resources to improve and sustain health care for community-dwelling adults with hemophilia. |
