Objective: This study aimed to determine sociodemographic correlates of warfarin knowledge in warfarin patients. Methods: A cross-sectional study using a newly developed and validated research tool was conducted in warfarin patients. Data was collected by convenience sampling method. Descriptive, comparative, and inferential statistics were used by Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) ver. 24 to determine the sociodemographic correlates of warfarin knowledge in warfarin patients. Results: From total 295 participants, the majority of the studied warfarin patients were females than males (n=184, 62.4%, and n=111, 37.6% respectively). In univariate analysis, statistically non-significant differences (p >0.05) were observed in gender, age, marital status and work. In multivariate analysis, significant differences (p <0.05) were observed in education, comorbidities, warfarin usage, and warfarin therapy duration. Conclusion: These results confirmed that education and warfarin therapy duration were the sociodemographic correlates of warfarin knowledge in the warfarin patients.
