Resumo

REMIGIO FIGUEIREDO, Thaisa et al. Pharmacological adherence and knowledge of anticoagulated patients. av.enferm. [online]. 2018, vol.36, n.2, pp.143-152. ISSN 0121-4500.  https://doi.org/10.15446/av.enferm.v36n2.62641.

Objective:

To investigate the pharmacological adherence and the knowledge of patients undergoing oral anticoagulation therapy with outpatients follow-up.

Method:

Cross-sectional study with quantitative approach.

Results:

222 patients were evaluated, of which 60.8 % were classified as non-adherents and 63.1 % had inadequate knowledge regarding oral anticoagulant. Non-adherence was related to longer treatment time (p <0.001) and to patients with inr values outside the therapeutic range (p = 0.022). Inadequate knowledge was associated with low educational level (p < 0.001), sedentary lifestyle (p = 0.027), shorter outpatient follow-up (p < 0.001), and patients with inr values outside the therapeutic range (p = 0.012).

Conclusion:

In view of the results, it is evident the need for health education strategies that address this public, considering individual understanding and pharmacological adherence as crucial in therapy.
