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.
