“…In our analysis, which is presented in Table 1 , the results within convergent validity revealed a significant positive correlation ( r values ranging from 0.33 to 0.61, p < 0.01) between the ACTS subscales and total scores as well as most subdomain scores of the general treatment satisfaction tool (TSQM Arabic version), which was previously validated in the patient population of Saudi ACCs. [ 19 ] These results were in contrast to those obtained in the original validation study[ 14 ] in which the degrees of association between both the ACTS subscale scores and the TSQM domains were shown to be less than expected ( r = 0.27–0.35). Conversely, the nonsignificant correlation between the ACTS Burdens subscale and the TSQM side-effects domain in the current appraisal was consistent with the original validation study.…”

“…Previous national surveys in Saudi Arabia revealed that patients’ nonadherence scores were high[ 19 20 21 22 23 24 ] but consistent with those of other populations internationally. [ 25 26 ] Endeavors to formally measure the outcomes of anticoagulants on patient satisfaction have been inadequate and have often used unvalidated tools.…”

A BSTRACT Background: Anticoagulation management is a complex process that is managed through careful monitoring, and patient satisfaction has a significant impact. Given the lack of a valid and reliable tool in Arabic to examine patient satisfaction, the present study aimed to translate and examine some of the psychometric properties of the Anti-Clot Treatment Scale (ACTS) among Saudi patients. Materials and Methods: This was a cross-sectional, methodological study conducted among patients receiving warfarin. The questionnaire was subjected to translation by using a multistep method. The final Arabic translated version of the ACTS underwent face and content validity assessments by independent experts to ensure its conceptual equivalence to the original English version. Subsequently, pilot testing of convergent, discriminant, and criterion validities were examined. Results: Overall, 136 patients participated in the study. All patients were asked to complete the generic Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire for Medication (TSQM) alongside the ACTS tool. Convergent validity analyses revealed statistically significant positive correlations ( p < 0.01) between the ACTS subscales and the four TSQM subdomains, as reflected by the Spearman correlation coefficient ( r ). Interestingly, the strongest correlations were observed between ACTS Burdens and the TSQM convenience domain ( r = 0.61) and between ACTS Benefits and the TSQM effectiveness satisfaction score ( r = 0.58). Similarly, discriminant validity was evidenced by moderate to high significant loading of all 12 items on each of their corresponding ACTS subscales. Conclusion: These findings of adequate validity support the use of the ACTS in Saudi patients receiving anticoagulant medications to measure their specific satisfaction levels with this type of therapy. However, future research addressing the clinical impact of ACTS scores in the Saudi population is needed.

“…Surprisingly, lack of knowledge on basic aspects of warfarin is very high (50-70 %) [27][28][29][30][31] . Patients' non-adherence scores are also high, and their satisfaction is poor [30][31][32] , yet these are consistent with those of other international populations 12,33 . These results emphasize the need for intensive educational and awareness programs to enhance knowledge and other PROs among Saudi patients 31 .…”

Background: Previous studies have demonstrated inadequate patient knowledge about basic aspects of warfarin therapy, leading to nonadherence. Patients may not receive adequate education because of time constraints, lack of availability of resources, or other patient variables beyond the control of healthcare providers, such as poor patient recall. Objective: We explored the impact of a specifically developed mobile application (mApp)-Coagulation and Anticoagulant Therapy and Awareness (CATA)-on improving the knowledge and anticoagulation satisfaction of patients receiving warfarin therapy. Setting: Two medical centers' anticoagulant clinics (ACCs) in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Method: This was a prospective multi-center study with a single-arm pre-and post-test design; 45 patients (32 women; Mage = 45.82 ± 12.8 years) were enrolled. Main outcome measure: Patients' knowledge and anticoagulation satisfaction were evaluated at baseline and after a post pharmacist-led mHealth App educational intervention. Results: The CATA intervention had a significant impact on knowledge improvement; however, no significant changes were observed in satisfaction. Conclusions: The newly developed CATA mApp has vast potential in improving patients' knowledge; however, further exploration of factors behind the nonsignificant change in patients' anticoagulation satisfaction requires investigation in long-term prospective studies with more frequent pharmacists' interventions in ACCs.
