%X Objective: To assess the knowledge of patients receiving outpatient treatment on oral anticoagulant therapy. Method: Cross-sectional study with a quantitative approach, performed at the Emergency Hospital of Pernambuco (PROCAPE) with 100 individuals. We used specific instrument of 10 questions. Answers to scores assigned subsequently classified as insufficient knowledge, regular and adequate knowledge knowledge after cutoff. The study was approved by the Research Ethics Committee, CAAE nº30622114.2.0000.5192. Results: Only 39% of subjects had adequate knowledge about treatment. There was statistical significance in pools of knowledge with sex (p = 0.042), age (p = 0.015), years of education (p = 0.021) and average time of outpatient follow-up (p = 0.010). Conclusion: The prevalence of inadequate knowledge (61%) demonstrate the need to implement educational strategies that promote the understanding of the treatment, stimulating drug adherence and reducing possible complications.
