NCT01878539

Brief Summary

An intervention program targeting patients and caregivers based on education about their condition and training in the use of portable coagulomenter to self monitor and training on the treatment adjustment to self manage, can be effective to enable patients in OACs to self manage as well as to identify determinant factors associated with the success and failure of the program.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Control of INR (International Normalized Ratio)

    So the primary objectives of this study are to assess the ability of patients/caregivers to test INR (International Normalized Ratio) levels with a portable coagulometer and capillary whole blood from a finger prick and the impact of a range of factors on the ability of patients on OACs to self-monitor and self-manage their treatment. If the INR is within the personal range above 80% it will consider a good control

Health Center training

EXPERIMENTAL

The intervention will consist of a patient training programme involving the provision of information and practical training concerning their condition and its treatment, as well as how to use a portable blood coagulation monitoring device and adjust their anticoagulant dose.
