Previous studies have shown significant ethnic differences in prescribing patterns of two or more antipsychotics. This study examined changes in atypical and typical antipsychotic prescriptions among Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders. Five hundred consecutive charts were reviewed for antipsychotics at the time of admission and discharge from each of two inpatient psychiatric facilities in Hawai'i. Multiple antipsychotic prescription rates were 9% at intake and 6% at discharge. For the ethnic groups studied, there were no statistically significant differences by patient ethnicity regarding antipsychotics at intake (χ(2) = 29.2, df = 21, P = .110) or discharge (χ(2) = 20.5, df = 24, P = .667). There were no significant differences in prescription and polypharmacy patterns among Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders ethnic groups in this study.
以往的研究表明，在开具两种或更多种抗精神病药物的处方模式上存在显著的种族差异。本研究调查了亚裔美国人和太平洋岛民中非典型和典型抗精神病药物处方的变化情况。对夏威夷两家住院精神病院的500份连续病历进行了回顾，记录患者入院时和出院时使用抗精神病药物的情况。多种抗精神病药物的处方率在入院时为9%，出院时为6%。对于所研究的种族群体，在入院时（χ(2)=29.2，自由度=21，P=.110）或出院时（χ(2)=20.5，自由度=24，P=.如果您还有其他需求，请随时告诉我。.667），按患者种族划分，抗精神病药物使用情况无统计学显著差异。在本研究中，亚裔美国人和太平洋岛民各种族群体之间的处方和联合用药模式没有显著差异。
