摘要
Aim: To investigate the effect of a randomised controlled trial of a nurse-led structured educational programme compared to standard care on patient knowledge when starting anticoagulant therapy with warfarin. Methods: 45 patients commencing warfarin during an inpatient admission were randomised into either a control group receiving `usual' care, or an experimental group with structured counselling and provision of an educational video. Identical questionnaires assessing knowledge of anticoagulation therapy were applied at discharge and again 3 months later. Results: Patients receiving a structured educational approach had significantly better knowledge about their therapy both at hospital discharge and at 3 months post discharge (p = < 0.001 and p = 0.038 respectively). Secondary outcomes measured also showed a higher level of patient satisfaction (p = 0.017) and time in target INR range (56.7% versus 48.1%) in the educational arm. Conclusions: A formal and structured nurse-led educational package at the initiation of anticoagulant treatment with warfarin treatment improves patient knowledge.
