Nurse-led patient training improves deep vein thrombosis knowledge and self-care practices

The study focused on assessing the effect of nurse-led deep vein thrombosis prevention training on patients' knowledge and self-care practices. Forty patients participated in this quasi-experimental study. Participants were trained by the guidebook prepared by the researchers before the surgery. Data were collected with Autar Deep Vein Thrombosis Risk Assessment Scale and questionnaires before and after the training. The questionnaires were prepared by the researcher. Data were evaluated with Mann –Whitney U, Wilcoxon, Kruskal–Wallis variance analysis, significance of difference test between two means, and one-way variance analysis tests.
