- (en) INTRODUCTION: Patient education is the cornerstone of the management of chronic diseases like haemophilia. The education of patients with haemophilia (PWH), haemophilia carriers and their families requires educational materials adapted to their socio-cultural situations for maximum effectiveness. These tools are currently lacking in developing countries like Côte d'Ivoire. AIMS: We sought to develop educational materials adapted to the Ivoirian context, assess their short- and long-term impacts on knowledge about haemophilia and evaluate the participants' motivation and their satisfaction with the tools. METHODS: Following their elaboration, the materials were administered to 71 participants (37 PWH, 29 carriers and 5 fathers), whose level of knowledge was assessed before (T0), just after (T1), and 1 year following the intervention (T2). We evaluated, analysed and compared the scores at T0, T1 and T2 and evaluated motivation at T0 and satisfaction at T1. RESULTS: All participants significantly improved their skills at T1 (P < 0.001), maintaining a sustained and significant improvement at T2 in comparison with T0 (P < 0.001). In all participants, we observed a high degree of motivation towards improving their knowledge and a high degree of satisfaction with the materials. CONCLUSIONS: Appropriate, culturally adapted educational tools focused on haemophilia are now available in Côte d'Ivoire. These materials will likely contribute to improving haemophilia awareness, to implementing screening, prevention and self-management of the disease and to positively impacting the outcomes of Ivoirian PWH in the long term.
