Mobile Applications, Warfarin
Conditions
Brief summary
This study aims to compare the INR values of the patients followed by face-to-face and telephone applications.
Detailed description
Warfarin has a narrow therapeutic window. Maintaining the patient's international normalized ratio (INR) within the predefined therapeutic range is one of the main challenges of warfarin treatment. This study was designed as a randomized controlled experiment. Twelve patients living in a distant place were assigned to the experimental group, and 12 patients living nearby and followed in the outpatient clinic were assigned to the control group. A Patient Information Form and the Adherence to Refills and Medications Scale were used to collect data.
