The sample consisted of 40 patients diagnosed with cardiovascular diseases who were receiving warfarin therapy and followed up at Kho Wang Hospital. Data were collected using a questionnaire and an INR recording form. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, including frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation. A paired t-test was employed to compare patients' knowledge before and after education, and Repeated Measures ANOVA was applied to analyze INR levels.<br /> The result showed that 70.00% of the participants were female, 77.50% were older than 60, 75.00% had attained primary education, and 97.50% were agricultural. All participants had a history of warfarin use. When comparing the results before and after the educational intervention, the mean knowledge score increased from 7.40 (SD = 1.61) to 8.50 (SD = 1.26). Additionally, the mean score of warfarin use behavior improved from 3.92 (SD = 0.42) to 4.26 (SD = 0.31) following the intervention. The analysis revealed that patient education on warfarin use was significantly associated with improved behavior and INR control at p-value&lt; 0.05 level. <br /> Therefore, continuous education on warfarin use should be promoted, particularly among older adults with cardiovascular diseases, to ensure appropriate INR control</p> 2025-07-05T00:00:00+07:00 Copyright (c) 2025 วารสารวิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี มหาวิทยาลัยปทุมธานี
