Relationship between Adherence, Symptoms, Treatment Attitudes, Satisfaction, and Side Effects in Prisoners taking Antipsychotic Medication.

Relationship between Adherence, Symptoms, Treatment Attitudes, Satisfaction, and Side Effects in Prisoners taking Antipsychotic Medication.
Relationship between Adherence, Symptoms, Treatment Attitudes, Satisfaction, and Side Effects in Prisoners taking Antipsychotic Medication.
Objective: to examine the nature and clinical correlates of adherence in prisoners prescribed antipsychotic medication, and how these differ from findings in people taking antipsychotic medication who are not in prison.
Method: treatment adherence, satisfaction with antipsychotic medication, drug attitudes, symptoms, medication side effects, and insight (and insight dimensions) were assessed in 44 prisoners taking antipsychotic medication.
Results: in a regression model, 52% of prisoners' adherence to antipsychotic medication was predicted by three explanatory variables: 'I feel motivated to take my antipsychotic medication'; 'My antipsychotic medication makes me feel better'; and putting on weight.
Conclusion: adherence interventions for prisoners taking antipsychotic medication may benefit from focusing on increasing personal relevance/benefit from medication and on enhancing motivation to stick with treatmen

Abstract

Objective: to examine the nature and clinical correlates of adherence in prisoners prescribed antipsychotic medication, and how these differ from findings in people taking antipsychotic medication who are not in prison.
Method: treatment adherence, satisfaction with antipsychotic medication, drug attitudes, symptoms, medication side effects, and insight (and insight dimensions) were assessed in 44 prisoners taking antipsychotic medication.
Results: in a regression model, 52% of prisoners' adherence to antipsychotic medication was predicted by three explanatory variables: 'I feel motivated to take my antipsychotic medication'; 'My antipsychotic medication makes me feel better'; and putting on weight.
Conclusion: adherence interventions for prisoners taking antipsychotic medication may benefit from focusing on increasing personal relevance/benefit from medication and on enhancing motivation to stick with treatmen
