Raising the Awareness of Pregnant Women Relying on Anticoagulant Agents for Improving Uteroplacental Circulation
Background: Managing anticoagulant therapy during pregnancy requires a comprehensive and individualized approach to ensure the safety and well-being. Maternal nurses play a pivotal role in managing pregnant women undergoing anticoagulant therapy. Their responsibilities encompass comprehensive patient education, meticulous monitoring, and collaborative care coordination. Aim: To raise awareness of pregnant women who rely on anticoagulant agents for improving uteroplacental circulation. Research Design: A quasi-experimental research design was utilized in this study. Setting: This study was conducted at Om El Masryeen Hospital in Giza, Egypt. Subjects: A convenient sample (seventy) of pregnant women. Tools: Three tools were used to collect data in this study. The first tool was a structured interviewing questionnaire of pregnant women. The second tool was the pregnant women's knowledge assessment questionnaire. The third tool was a checklist to assess pregnant women's practices toward the administration of anticoagulant agents. Results: more than half (54.3%) of women had unsatisfactory knowledge pre-intervention, and the majority (87.1%) of women had satisfactory knowledge post-intervention. more than two-thirds (64.3%) had unsatisfactory practices pre-intervention and increased to the majority (81.4%) post-intervention. Conclusion: There was a statistically significant improvement in women’s knowledge and practices post-intervention. Additionally, there was a highly statistically significant positive correlation between total women's knowledge and reported practices regarding anti-coagulant use pre-& post-intervention. Recommendations: Re-study women with similar circumstances.
