Discussion

Member takes

Implication

Training programs for anticoagulation self-management should not yet change practice; this protocol leaves open feasibility determinants for prospective trials.

Structured PICO

Does a patient training programme improve the ability to self-test and self-manage in patients on oral anticoagulant therapy?

Population

333 patients on oral anticoagulant therapy from five health centres of the Basque Health Service

Intervention

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

Comparator

Control group

Outcome

Ability to self-test and self-manage oral anticoagulant therapy

This study protocol outlines a quasi-experimental trial to identify factors determining the feasibility of self-testing and self-management in patients on oral anticoagulation.
