Introduction

Between 25–50% of psychiatric patients are non-

compliant with their pharmacological treatment. When differences

between compliant and non-compliant patientswere analyzed, dif-

ferences were found in relation to their beliefs and feelings about

medication. The Drug Attitude Inventory (DAI) was created tomea-

sure attitudes towards medication in adults. It predicted adherence

in schizophrenia and depression studies.

Objective

Determine if psychotherapeutic and psychoeduca-

tional activities – during a partial hospitalization at the Psychiatric

Day Hospital – can improve aspects related to feelings and

thoughts about medication.

Method

We gathered retrospectively a sample of 151 patients

hospitalized at the Psychiatric Day Hospital, from September 2013

to June 2015. Their thoughts and feelings about medication were

measured with the DAI before and after the hospitalization. From

the sample of 151 patients, 94 completed both tests, excluding who

did not have the final DAI score. Differences between initial and

final scores were statistically analyzed with the Wilcoxon test for

paired samples.

Results

Of the 94 patients who completed the study, 52 showed

an improvement in their DAI score, whereas the remaining 27

showed an equal or decreased final DAI compared to initial evalu-

ation. The difference was statistically significant (

P

0.05).

Conclusion

It seems that psychoeducational activities related to

medication are important in order to reconsider or modify feel-

ings and thoughts about treatment. Information on medication

provided to psychiatric patients (to those who need psychophar-

macological treatment), carried out in a group context, which

facilitates an open and sincere communication, can be a useful

strategy to improve compliance with treatment.

Introduction/objectives

To supervise agents in a mutual aid

experience inMotril Mental Health Day Hospital. To perform a sup-

porting role among the agents involved in a mutual aid program to

consolidate its operations autonomously.

Methods

A multidisciplinary working group, which met every

two weeks for 4months was set. Group sessions were planned. We

selected mutual aid pairs individually and addressed the difficul-

ties in the process. The experiment was performed with 4 agents

setting amaximumof 5 interviews. A success criterion of 80% of the

meetings planned was established. In between mutual aid group,

success criterion was to maintain a 3-month experience held by 5

members. A qualitative analysis of most important issues amongst

coordination meetings were also held.

Results

Three out of 4 pairs reached 80% of the interviews

successfully. The support group was developed weekly during

3months with an average of 8 participants. The trending topics

during coordinationmeetings were toxic consumption, acute crisis,

drug intake and issues to be addressed with the psychiatrist.

Conclusions

Mutual aid among users is a way of intervention that

needs to be further consolidated. The establishment is still unpre-

tentious and has low weight amongst coordination objectives. The

results addressed in number of sessions and satisfaction are favor-

able, but it is necessary to assess the experiencewidely and to begin

developing specific objectives

The CLDS + Paredes de Coura integrated in its action plan the imple-

mentation of a program for the development of strategies at the

level of qualification of the families as it corresponded to one of

the needs highlighted by the Social Municipality Action under the

Social Diagnosis.

With a Psychologist/Family Therapist and a Conflict Mediator, have

formed groups with parents and children separately.

Questionnaires were applied at the beginning and end of the pro-

gram for evaluation of impact. The results showed that the personal

development of children and adults was promoted, were broad-

cast techniques that facilitate the daily emotional management

and improved is communication skills. This program will now be

applied to other groups.

Introduction

Psychosocial interventions are an essential part of

the treatment of schizophrenia and are aimed at promoting the

social, family and occupational functioning of the patient and

relapse prevention. They are considered proven clinical measures

whenever necessary, however they tend to be underused.

Objective

Answer the question on psychosocial therapies avail-

able today for schizophrenia.
