Developing a Complex Educational–Behavioural Intervention: The TREAT Intervention for Patients with Atrial Fibrillation
This article describes the theoretical and pragmatic development of a patient-centred intervention for patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). Theoretical models (Common Sense Model, Necessity-Concerns Framework), clinical frameworks, and AF patient feedback contributed to the design of a one-off hour-long behaviour-change intervention package. Intervention materials consisted of a DVD, educati...
متن کاملCognitive function and anticoagulation control in patients with atrial fibrillation.
BACKGROUND Patients with atrial fibrillation usually are elderly and may have cognitive dysfunction. These patients may receive less effective oral anticoagulation, resulting in more vascular events and bleeding. METHODS AND RESULTS In an analysis of cognitive function associated with the time in therapeutic range (TTR) in the Atrial Fibrillation Clopidogrel Trial With Irbesartan for Preventi...
متن کاملAPOLLO I: Anticoagulation control in atrial fibrillation.
INTRODUCTION AND AIMS Anticoagulation control as assessed by time in therapeutic range (TTR) correlates positively with the safety and efficacy of thromboprophylaxis in atrial fibrillation. We set out to assess TTR in our unit and to investigate determinants of better control. METHODS This was a case series study of atrial fibrillation patients anticoagulated with warfarin or acenocoumarol at...
متن کاملAnticoagulation in Atrial Fibrillation
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most commonly occurring arrhythmia. An antithrombotic agent is considered mandatory as part of the management in most patients with AF. It has been conclusively demonstrated that long-term anticoagulation therapy can significantly reduce the risk of stroke in patients with non-valvular AF. While vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) such as warfarin are highly effective, ...
متن کاملAnticoagulation in atrial fibrillation
Atrial fibrillation (AF) affects approximately 300,000 Australians and has a growing prevalence. It is associated with high rates of death and disability. The majority of people with AF are eligible to be treated with anticoagulant medications, but practice is often inadequate, leaving many people at risk of stroke. Until recently, the only antithrombotics available to prevent stroke in people ...
