Poziom współpracy pacjentów chorych na schizofrenię w zakresie przyjmowania leków a ryzyko nawrotu psychozy
Journal Title: Current Problems of Psychiatry - Year 2014, Vol 15, Issue 1
Abstract
Schizophrenia is a chronic disease with a high risk of relapse. Modern treatment of schizophrenia that involves pharmacotherapy as its vital element may reduce this risk. However, effective pharmacological intervention requires patient’s compliance with a treatment regimen. This paper provides an overview of the available literature on possible associations between the level of medication adherence in schizophrenic patients and the risk of psychotic relapse and psychiatric rehospitalization. In the first part, the article offers general information on basic concepts, prevalence data and possible factors contributing to nonadherence in schizophrenia. The studies published to date have shown the significant relationship between a level of collaboration with drug treatment by schizophrenic patients and the risk of relapse and rehospitalization. This relationship is complex and largely determined by factors indirectly connected to both the level of medication adherence and the relapse risk.
