Impact of Caregiver Beliefs on Adherence to Antipsychotic Medications in Patients With Schizophrenia

NCT03471013 · Status: TERMINATED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 50

Last updated 2026-02-11

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Only one third of patients with schizophrenia are observant to their treatment knowing that the lack of adherence to treatment is one of the most important predictors of relapse.

Recent work shows that the erroneous or negative beliefs of patients with schizophrenia regarding antipsychotic treatment are associated with poor compliance.

The hypothesis is that negative beliefs about the antipsychotic treatment of caregivers of patients with schizophrenia may be associated with a higher risk of poor compliance compared to caregivers with positive beliefs about treatment.

The primary purpose is to explore the correlation between caregiver beliefs about treatment and patient compliance, taking into account the level of caregiver-patient link.
