Journal Title: International Archives of Nursing and Health Care - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Approximately 3 million women in the United States are estimated to have an inherited bleeding disorder, VWD being the most common and affecting 1% of the population. Pathophysiology, prevalence, relationship to heavy menstrual bleeding, screening and appropriate workup for VWD are discussed. Advanced practice nurses were surveyed about the amount of education on bleeding disorders and revealed 59% were taught about Type 1 Von Willebrand disease in school. Furthermore, 62.2% of participants felt like their training was not sufficient for preparation on the evaluation of bleeding disorders in clinical practice.
