About

This study aims to compare the INR values of the patients followed by face-to-face and telephone applications.

Full description

Warfarin has a narrow therapeutic window. Maintaining the patient's international normalized ratio (INR) within the predefined therapeutic range is one of the main challenges of warfarin treatment. This study was designed as a randomized controlled experiment. Twelve patients living in a distant place were assigned to the experimental group, and 12 patients living nearby and followed in the outpatient clinic were assigned to the control group. A Patient Information Form and the Adherence to Refills and Medications Scale were used to collect data.

Comparison of INR Control and Drug Compliance Values by Groups

Other group

Description:

Follow-up of the patients in the control group continued in the outpatient clinic. This application includes an interface where patients can enter drug treatment information such as INR values, disease diagnosis, how many times a day and how many mg they take, and a chat box section where they can communicate with their physicians, including emergencies. The doctor reviewed the patient's INR findings once they were relayed by the patient, then told them to adjust the patient's warfarin dosage and schedule the next INR check. The application sent notifications to the patients every day about when and how many mg of the drug they would take

Treatment:

Other: mobile applications with the name "Set My INR"
