Abstract

GONZALEZ FANJUL, Adriana et al. Needs to overcome general practitioners in the management of oral anticoagulants. EDUMECENTRO [online]. 2023, vol.15  Epub June 30, 2023. ISSN 2077-2874.

Background:

the progressive advance in the average age of the population has led to an increase in the prescription of oral anticoagulant treatment in clinical practice.

Objective:

to characterize the training on the management of patients with oral anticoagulants in general practitioners of the "Capitán Roberto Fleites", "Chiqui Gómez-Lubian" and "Santa Clara" university polyclinics.

Methods:

a cross-sectional descriptive study was carried out from January to December 2020. Theoretical methods were used: analysis-synthesis and induction-deduction to support the information; Empirical: questionnaire and analysis of documents and statistical mathematics for data processing.

Results:

the questionnaire allowed to assess knowledge about treatment with oral anticoagulants in the average category in the majority of those sampled; while in the analysis of the program, few hours dedicated to the subject investigated and the felt need for training expressed by the respondents were detected.

Conclusions:

the diagnosis made confirmed the shortcomings of general practitioners in the management of medicated patients for the prescription of treatment with oral anticoagulants.

Keywords : anticoagulants; factor xa inhibitors; training courses; education, medical.
