Awareness and perception of thromboembolism and thromboprophylaxis among hospitalized patients in Jordan.

CONCLUSION: The findings reveal that there is a lack of awareness about VTE and its thromboprophylaxis among the study participants. Patients with lower educational level and those with no history of previous VTE need awareness improvement about VTE and its thromboprophylaxis. Clinical Pharmacists need to focus on providing information about VTE and improving patients' perception about VTE and its thromboprophylaxis with the aim of improving the awareness about VTE, and hence improve health outcome.
