Impact d’un programme d’éducation thérapeutique sur les attitudes de prévention vis-à-vis du risque iatrogène : étude pilote contrôlée visant les patients sous anticoagulants oraux pour maladie thromboembolique veineuseImpact of an education program on patient behaviour favoring prevention of drug-related adverse events: a pilot study in patients receiving oral anticoagulants for thromboembolic venous disease

Objective Adverse events related to oral anticoagulants represent a major public health problem. Including patient education as part of the prevention strategy could contribute to improved effectiveness and safer use of drugs. The present study aimed at evaluating the outcomes of a patient education program inspired byrecommendations from French Health Authorities (AFSSAPS) and based on an “individual guidance” approach.
