This study evaluated adherence to treatment, quality of life and subjective well-being in patients with psychosis treated with long-acting injectable risperidone. Subjects enrolled were part of a larger study where patients were observed in an adherence to treatment program of the University of Rome Tor Vergata.
A total of 27 nonadherent patients (21 men, six women; mean age: 36.1 years; range: 23-63 years) were enrolled. Maximum observational period was 30 months.
A total of 12 patients were under treatment for 30 months (44.44%) but only nine had a valid 30-month follow up, while the remaining three patients initially treated at our unit continued long-acting risperidone at their local centre. Reductions of monthly mean values of Scale for the Assessment of Positive Symptoms (SAPS) [repeated measures analysis of variance (rm-ANOVA): p < 0.0001] and Scale for Assessment of Negative Symptoms (SANS) (p < 0.0001), increase of monthly mean values of Subjective Well-Being Under Neuroleptic Treatment Scale (SWN) (p < 0.0001) and Schizophrenia Quality of Life Scale (S-QoL) (p < 0.01) were observed. Significant differences with respect to SAPS baseline values from the sixth month, SANS baseline values from the seventh month, SWN baseline values from the eighth month, S-QoL baseline values from the eighteenth month were shown in post hoc tests. Reduction of SAPS mean values was associated with increase of SWN (p < 0.0001) and S-QoL (p < 0.0001) mean values as demonstrated by correlation analysis. The same inverse correlation was found between reduction of SANS mean values and increases of SWN (p < 0.0001) and S-QoL (p = 0.0001) mean values.
Long-term treatment with long-acting risperidone may be associated with improvement to adherence to therapy and quality of life. Patients may show improvement in psychopathological symptoms, subjective well-being and quality of life.
本研究评估了接受长效利培酮治疗的精神病患者的治疗依从性、生活质量和主观幸福感。纳入的受试者是一项更大规模研究的一部分,在该研究中,患者在罗马第二大学的治疗依从性项目中接受观察。
共纳入27例治疗依从性差的患者(21例男性,6例女性;平均年龄:36.1岁;范围:23 - 63岁)。最长观察期为30个月。
共有12例患者接受了30个月的治疗(44.44%),但只有9例有有效的30个月随访,其余3例最初在我们科室接受治疗的患者在当地中心继续使用长效利培酮。阳性症状评定量表(SAPS)月均值降低[重复测量方差分析(rm - ANOVA):p < 0.0001],阴性症状评定量表(SANS)月均值降低(p < 0.0001),抗精神病药物治疗下主观幸福感量表(SWN)月均值升高(p < 0.0001),精神分裂症生活质量量表(S - QoL)月均值升高(p < 0.01)。事后检验显示,从第6个月起SAPS基线值、第7个月起SANS基线值、第8个月起SWN基线值、第18个月起S - QoL基线值存在显著差异。相关性分析表明,SAPS均值降低与SWN(p < 0.0001)和S - QoL(p < 0.0001)均值升高相关。SANS均值降低与SWN(p < 0.0001)和S - QoL(p = 0.0001)均值升高之间也发现了相同的负相关。
长效利培酮长期治疗可能与治疗依从性和生活质量的改善有关。患者的精神病理症状、主观幸福感和生活质量可能会有所改善。
