Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of patient training about the safety of warfarin therapy on related knowledge levels and on International Normalized Ratio (INR) control.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Although warfarin is widely used in the treatment and prophylaxis of thromboembolic diseases, it is an oral anticoagulant with serious adverse effects. Therefore, the patient must be informed about its safe use.

A patient's level of knowledge concerning the drug plays a key role in the effective and safe use of warfarin. In the Joint Commission International (JCI) National Patient Safety Goal (NPSG) guideline for 2014 education on treatment for patients taking oral anticoagulants was recognized as a vital factor. Previous studies have reported that a positive relationship between patients' anticoagulant knowledge levels and the INR number in the therapeutic range.

For this reason there is a need for effective education programs to increase patients' knowledge concerning warfarin and to keep it up to date. Education and information services provided to patients using anticoagulants will reduce the costs of treatment by reducing risks such as thromboembolism and bleeding. When planning education, individual characteristics and needs must be kept in mind, and group education in addition to individual sessions and the use of written and visual material will increase the effectiveness of the education.
