- Abstract:
- Oral anticoagulation (OAC) has been shown to be highly effective in preventing thromboembolic complications. Self-management can enable patients with a long-term indication for OAC to be actively involved in the therapy, but in Germany the implementation of self-management is linked to mandatory training. To illustrate significant structural disparities between education centres in Hesse, all such centres were identified and a list generated, specifying the differences. Using our own questionnaire, we interviewed all known patient education centres in Hesse between January and July 2012, and conducted a descriptive analysis of their structural features. There were 44 datasets for statistical interpretation. We distinguished between centres with ASA certification (n=19) and centres without (n=25). On average, certified centres provide 6 h of training (range 2-9) compared to 5.5 h (range 1-12) in uncertified centers. Certified centres hold more group sessions per year (on average 17 vs. 8) and more individual training sessions (on average 10 vs. 5). Certified centres train 10-365 patients per year and uncertified centers between 5 and 77. Certified centres offer retraining more frequently (84% vs. 40%) and more often conclude the training with a written test (74% vs. 44%). Only 9 centres provide materials for patients with a migration background. The results show that in Hesse, severe structural discrepancies exist in training programmes for self-management of OAC, and it can be assumed that patients participating in trainings in different Hessian education centres face very differing conditions. To improve the quality of the trainings and to ensure patients have similar levels of knowledge, it is imperative that centres be regularly inspected with the help of proven quality indicators. © Georg Thieme Verlag KG Stuttgart · New York.
