Abstract

This study aims to evaluate a group of people with schizophrenia undergoing outpatient treatment and who participate in a mutual support intervention, compared to another group of people with the same diagnosis, but attending only the usual outpatient treatment. This is a prospective study, with two measurements between six months. The mutual support group was initially composed of 16 people and the treatment as usual group was composed of 15 people. Clinical (medication adherence and functioning) and Recovery (hope, well-being, recovery and internalized stigma) outcomes were assessed. Nonparametric tests were used to verify differences in measurements between groups and between two moments. A higher level of internalized stigma and a decrease in the adherence to drug treatment in the treatment as usual group were verified. When comparing the pre-post difference between groups, there was a greater increase in adherence to drug treatment in the mutual support group. Our data point to more favorable results in the mutual support group, showing that ongoing participation in these groups is an important tool for the recovery process and for the treatment itself.

  • Evidence stresses the pivotal impact of therapeutic adherence on the quality of healthcare delivery, including increased demand for help and adherence to scheduled appointments, reduced rates of hospitalizations/rehospitalizations, reduction or elimination of sudden and unsupervised treatment interruptions, and decreased hospitalization costs.

    “Evidence also stresses the pivotal impact of therapeutic adherence on the quality of healthcare delivery, including increased demand for help and adherence to scheduled appointments [49], reduced rates of hospitalizations/rehospitalizations [33,61,63,70], reduction or elimination of sudden and unsupervised treatment interruptions [46], and decreased hospitalization costs [63].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
