...Show More Authors

Abstract

Objectives: To assess patients’ knowledge and their adherence to Clopidogrel Therapy Post Percutaneous Coronary Intervention, and to find out the relationship between patients’ knowledge and their adherence to Clopidogrel Therapy Post Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

Methodology: A descriptive design was carried out at Al- Nasiriyah Heart Center in Thi-Qar Governorate for the period between May 19th, 2022 to October 25th, 2022. A non-probability sampling was used among (50) patients after their Percutaneous Coronary Intervention. The study instrument that used to collect data was composed of three parts namely: sociodemographic characteristics such as (age, gender, level of education, occupational status, marital status, monthly income); patient's knowledge regarding clopidogrel therapy post percutaneous coronary intervention which is consisted of (11); and General Medication Adherence Scale which is consisted of (16) questions. Data were analyzed using IBM SPSS version 26. Descriptive and inductive statistics were utilized to summarize the results.

Results: The study indicated that patients had knowledge deficits (82%) and low adherence (84%) to Clopidogrel therapy.

Conclusions : The study showed that there is a lack of patient knowledge and adherence to clopidogrel therapy after percutaneous coronary intervention..

Recommendation:  It is recommending to establish educational programs regarding cardiac medications such as Clopidogrel for increase patient's knowledge and improve their adherence after percutaneous coronary intervention.

Keywords: knowledge, adherence, clopidogrel therapy, Percutaneous coronary intervention.

Today, the five Caspian riparian states on the shores of the Caspian Sea (Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan, Russia, and Iran) have become a front for ambitions and international and regional competition, especially in light of the features and characteristics that natural geography has endowed them with and their enjoyment of a group of economic and mineral wealth that are not optimally exploited so far which made it a strategic attraction area for international trends and interventions, especially Western ones. It is a battleground for major international companies aiming to monopolize promising industrial investments in order to impose control and influence on the region’s resources and economic wealth and thus impose their forei

Pre- and Post-Cracking Resistance of Steel Fiber Reinforced Concrete Flexural Members with GFRP Bars
...Show More Authors

This research investigates the pre- and post-cracking resistance of steel fiber-reinforced concrete specimens with Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) bars subjected to flexural loading. The purpose is to modify the ductility and cracking resistance of GFRP-reinforced beams, which are prone to early cracking and excessive deflections instigated by the low modulus of elasticity of GFRP. Six self-compacting concrete specimens (1500×240×200 mm), incorporating steel fibers of two lengths (25 mm and 40 mm) with varying distribution depths, were tested to assess their structural performance. The results indicate significant enhancements in cracking resistance, stiffness, energy absorption, ductility, and flexural strength. Tested beam
