“…showed that the awareness of stroke and its signs and symptoms was higher in those with high educational level and in those who had received education about the disease through campaigns, websites, and public education [ 12 ]. A randomized controlled study demonstrated that the level of awareness and knowledge about VTE was significantly higher and improved after the implementation of educational programs that were introduced by nurses among postpartum women; from 8.0percent to 87.0% [ 13 ]. This demonstrates that when the patients are encouraged to be involved in educational programs about VTE and its manifestation, this will result in decreasing the incidence of hospitalized acquired VTE.…”

Background and Objective: Despite the established importance of thromboprophylaxis in patients with Venous Thromboembolism (VTE), a limited number of studies have assessed the awareness of VTE and thromboprophylaxis therapy among the affected patients. The aim of the current study was to assess awareness and to explore variables associated with awareness about VTE and its thromboprophylaxis. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on hospitalized patients who received thromboprophylaxis (5000 units of heparin subcutaneously (SC) q8-12h, or 30-40 mg of enoxaparin SC once daily). In addition to the sociodemographic variables, awareness and perception of VTE and its thromboprophylaxis were assessed using a validated questionnaire. Multiple logistic regressions were conducted to build a model of variables significantly associated with VTE awareness. Results: A total of 225 patients participated in the study, with only 38.2% and 22.2% of the participants being aware of Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) and Pulmonary Embolism (PE) respectively. Logistic regression showed that the participants with low educational level had 3.046 value, with the odds being not aware of DVT or PE compared with participants with high educational level. Participants without a personal history of VTE had 7.374 value, with the odds being not aware of DVT or PE compared with those who had a personal history of VTE. Participants who had a negative perception of VTE had 2.582 value, with the odds being not aware of DVT or PE compared with participants who had a positive perception and those who did not have any information about DVT or PE had 13.727 value, with the odds being not aware of DVT or PE. Conclusion: The findings reveal that there is a lack of awareness about VTE and its thromboprophylaxis among the study participants. Patients with lower educational level and those with no history of previous VTE need awareness improvement about VTE and its thromboprophylaxis. Clinical Pharmacists need to focus on providing information about VTE and improving patients’ perception about VTE and its thromboprophylaxis with the aim of improving the awareness about VTE, and hence the better health outcome.

“…23 In a randomized trial, the awareness level about VTE was significantly improved from 8% to 87% among postpartum women after implementing educational programs about VTE that were introduced by their nurses. 24 On the other hand, demographic characteristics such as marital status had no significant effect on the awareness level of the participants. These results are consistent with Green and Bernhofer.…”

Patients' awareness toward VTE and thromboprophylaxis is critical for medication adherence. This study aimed to evaluate the patient's awareness and perception towards VTE and its prophylaxis and to assess patient's satisfaction towards the information given by the medical staff. Participants and Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among hospitalized patients who received VTE prophylaxis in public and private hospitals in Sana'a, Yemen. Besides sociodemographic variables, participants' awareness and perception of VTE and its prophylaxis were evaluated. Variables' association with VTE awareness were analyzed using univariable and multivariable logistic regression using SPSS. Results: A total of 396 of the hospitalized patients agreed to participate in the study, with 31% (n = 121) have ever heard about VTE. The multivariable logistic regression findings revealed that the participants who did not have a profession had OR = 17.182 (P < 0.001) of being unaware of VTE compared with those who had one. Participants who did not have a personal history of VTE had OR = 7.580 (P < 0.001) of being unaware of DVT/PE compared with the participants who had a personal history of VTE. Male participants had OR = 2.839 (P < 0.005) of being unaware of DVT/PE compared with female participants. Participants who were illiterate had OR = 2.832 (P < 0.022) of being unaware of DVT/PE compared with participants with a higher level of education. Conclusion:The study revealed lack of awareness and perception of VTE and its prophylaxis among hospitalized patients in Yemen. The patients who are unaware of the disease have wrong perception about their role in DVT prophylaxis. Patient's education must be considered in healthcare setting to improve patient's health outcomes.

“…A significant relationship was found between the patients' knowledge about VTE and higher educational levels. A randomized controlled study showed that after nurses provided educational programs to postpartum women, awareness and knowledge regarding VTE increased and improved dramatically, from 8% to 87% [14]. This finding suggests that encouraging patients to participate in educational programs on VTE and its symptoms can reduce the incidence of hospital-acquired VTE.…”

“…Raising the level of awareness among the general population, especially among hospitalized and high-risk patients, could have a significant impact on patient compliance regarding prophylaxes, early immobilization, and self-reported signs and symptoms. A randomized clinical trial conducted among hospitalized patients showed a significant increase in the level of awareness and knowledge about DVT and PE after the implementation of educational programs [14].…”

IntroductionVenous thromboembolism (VTE) is the leading source of morbidity and mortality among hospitalized patients in Saudi Arabia. Currently, there is no literature on VTE knowledge and awareness among hospitalized patients in Saudi Arabia's western region. Consequently, this study aimed to investigate the hospitalized patients' awareness and perceptions of VTE and associated thromboprophylaxis in surgical wards in Makkah, Saudi Arabia. MethodsA descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted on 301 patients who were admitted to the surgical ward in the Al-Noor Hospital for more than three days, between September and November 2021. ResultsThe study found that patients who had higher education levels, and who were currently or previously receiving pharmacological/non-pharmacological thromboprophylaxis had a significantly higher knowledge score regarding VTE (p = < 0.05). On the other hand, a non-significant relationship was found between knowledge scores and age, gender, the reason for admission, and personal or family history of VTE (p = > 0.05). Spearman's correlation analysis also revealed a highly significant positive correlation between the patients' knowledge and attitude scores (r=0.21, p=<0.001). ConclusionThis study revealed a lack of awareness among hospitalized patients about VTE, clinical presentation, and risk factors. Therefore, we encourage health care providers to educate patients about them.
