Abstract

Objectives The aim of this study was to assess current knowledge of patients receving oral anticoagulant therapy (OAT). Methods Patients presenting to adult emergency department who are on OAT were asked to complete a questionnaire created by authors. Patient demographics, as well as the knowledge and sources of education they received about OAT were evaluated. Chi-square tests were used to compare associated factors to OAT knowledge. Results Mean age of 122 patients included in the study was 64±14. Of all patients 37.7% were male, 51.6% were >65 years of age and 33.6% were illiterate. 61.5% (n=75) of patients were aware of bleeding risk of OAT and 70.5% (n=86) of the need for regular blood tests. Only 15.6% (n=19) of patients knew about drug interactions of OAT while 10.7% (n=13) knew about its dietary interactions. 64.8% (n=79) patients reported being informed about OAT. Source of information was prescribing doctor in 27% (n=33) of patients. Knowledge of bleeding risk was significantly lower in patients older than 65 (p=0.002). Education in any level of school was associated with the knowledge of bleeding risk (p=0.011), drug (p=0.049) and dietary (p=0.034) interactions. While receiving education of OAT was associated with the knowledge of bleeding risk (p

Özet

Amaç Bu çalışmanın amacı, herhangi bir nedenle oral antikoagülan tedavi (OAT) alan hastaların tedavileriyle ilgili bilgilerinin ve ilişkili faktörlerin değerlendirilmesidir. Gereç ve Yöntem Bu anket çalışmasında, erişkin acil servise başvuran ve OAT aldığı saptanan hastalardan ankete katılmayı kabul edenlere çalışmacılar tarafından hazırlanan anket uygulandı. Demografik özellikler, ilaç bilgisi ve OAT tedavisiyle ilgili bilgilendirilme durumları incelendi. OAT bilgisine etkili faktörlerin karşılaştırılmasında ki-kare testi kullanıldı. Bulgular Çalışmaya katılan 122 hastanın yaş ortalaması 64±14, %37.7’si erkek, %51.6’sı >65 yaş, %33.6’sı hiç öğrenim görmemişti. Hastaların %61.5’i (n=75) OAT ile kanama riski olduğunu, %70.5’inin (n=86) düzenli kan tetkiki yaptırması gerektiğini bildiği saptandı. Çalışma grubunun %15.6’sı (n=19) OAT’nin diğer ilaçlarla, %10.7’si (n=13) yiyeceklerle etkileşimi olduğunu biliyordu. Hastaların %64.8’i (n=79) daha önce OAT konusunda bilgilendirildiğini bildirdi. OAT’ yi reçete eden hekim hastaların %27’sinde (n=33) bilgi kaynağı olarak saptandı. Altmış beş yaş ve altı ile 65 yaş üstü hastalar arasında kanama riski (p=0.002) bilgisinde fark bulundu. Öğrenim görmüş olan ve olmayan hastalar arasında kanama riski (p=0.011), ilaç etkileşimi (p=0.049) ve diyet etkileşimi (p=0.034) bilgisinde fark saptandı. Daha önce OAT konusunda bilgilendirilmiş hastalar ile bilgilendirilmemiş hastalar arasında kanama riski (p
