To obtain the best results from comprehensive care and home infusion treatment of hemophilia education of patients and family members is very important. In our comprehensive hemophilia center where more than 250 hemophiliacs are treated, such an educational program is being carried out. We are using a modification of the program of the National Hemophilia Foundation of the United States and of the World Federation of Hemophilia. Our module consists of 133 items with explanations in nine parts, i.e. basic information, family guidance, factor replacement therapy, home infusion therapy, side effects, genetic education, as well as orthopedic, dental and psycho-sociological care. A doctor or a nurse acting as coordinator arranges a pre-test followed by specific instructions. A follow-up test is carried out to confirm that the test is correctly understood. At present 85 of 125 patients receiving home infusion therapy as well as 123 family members, have finished their educational program. The test results were very good: 60 to 80 percent of the answers in each part of the pre-test were correct and, in the post test an 85 to 95 percent score was recorded. Overprotection by or confusion of the mother tended generally to lower the results of the family. This educational program seems to be an excellent way, not only to help the hemophiliac and his family to cope with his disease, but also to inform the recently diagnosed patient about his disease.
