Effectiveness of a self-management program for anticoagulated patients to improve their knowledge about treatment and time in therapeutic range.

Oral anticoagulation self-control programs have demonstrated efficiency and cost-effectiveness over recent years. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a training intervention focused on patients with antivitamin K anticoagulants included in a self-care program. For this, we made a quasi-experimental study, pretest and post-test, using a validated questionnaire with 2 measures, before and after an educational intervention about oral anticoagulation focused on patients that will initiate the self-control program in consultation.
