OBJECTIVE

To assess the impact of brief group inpatient psychoeducation interventions on compliance of patients with first episode psychosis (FEP) and emergency hospitalization.

MATERIAL AND METHODS

One hundred and fifty-eight patients of treatment group and 79 patients of the control group were enrolled into the study. All patients were hospitalized emergently due to psychotic condition. Patients in treatment group had group psychoeducation sessions (5 sessions), patients in the control group received basic treatment only. Before discharge from the hospital, patients were accessed with PANSS, CGI-S, CGI-I and «Medication compliance scale».

RESULTS

Patient in treatment group showed significantly better results than the control group in medication compliance scale assessment (p<0.001). The rate of readmissions was significantly higher in the control group than in the psychoeducation group (p=0.02).
