| description | PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to identify knowledge, awareness, and risk of occurrence of venous thromboembolism among pregnant women.
METHODS: Subjects were 106 pregnant women treated as inpatients and outpatients at a women's health hospital in a metropolitan city February 19–March 22, 2018. Instruments consisted of questionnaires that included knowledge, awareness, and risk of occurrence of venous thromboembolism queries. Collected data were analyzed by t-test, one-way analysis of variance, Mann-Whitney U test and Kruskal-Wallis test.
RESULTS: Mean score of subjects' knowledge of venous thromboembolism was 4.47 (0–15), mean score of subjects' awareness of venous thromboembolism was 66.98 (25–100), and mean score of subjects' risk factor of venous thromboembolism was 0.98 (0–44).
CONCLUSIONS: Pregnant women's level of knowledge and awareness of prevention and risk factors on venous thromboembolism, is significantly low. To raise their awareness of risk symptoms and prevent occurrence of the disease, it is essential for nurses as well as medical staffs to: 1) provide an educational program on venous thromboembolism for patients; 2) assess and monitor pregnant women with a risk factor of venous thromboembolism; and 3) implement proper prophylaxis for patients. |
