摘要
Aim: Tranexamic acid (TXA) use in obstetric hemorrhage has been shown to decrease both maternal mortality and morbidity. This study aimed to explore the knowledge and attitudes of Jordanian obstetricians and gynecologists regarding the use of TXA in obstetric bleeding cases, as well as to identify factors that affect decision-making processes and emphasize the significance of TXA in enhancing maternal health Results: Most participants used TXA to address obstetric hemorrhage, with medical training being the primary source of knowledge about TXA for (113/166) 68.1% of respondents. Awareness of TXA's potential benefits was high but some misconceptions existed. Approximately (96/166) 57.8% of the participants were aware of the recommended dosage regimen, and (61/166) 36.7% emphasized the importance of timing of administration. Knowledge of potential side effects was notable, with (55/166) 33.1% aware of lifethreatening side effects, such as pulmonary embolism and deep vein thrombosis. Concerns regarding barriers to implementation included the absence of strict guidelines (54.8%) and drug availability ( 91/166; 54.8%). However, (64/166) 38.6% expressed confidence in the effective use of TXA for obstetric hemorrhage treatment. The majority of respondents (154/166; 92.8%) considered additional education and training on TXA use to be important in managing obstetric hemorrhage. Conclusion: Jordanian obstetricians have used TXA in cases of obstetric hemorrhage despite theirexperience and knowledge based only on limited resources; the need for national guidelines on when andhow to use TXA in obstetric practice is of great importance and got vast support from the Jordanianobstetricians
