[Drug management and therapy resistance. A cross-sectional study of schizophrenic patients in a large psychiatric hospital].
In a cross-sectional study 473 schizophrenic patients of a great psychiatric hospital were served. It was looked for differences in patients' characteristics and pharmacotherapy according to the therapeutic-functional structure of the hospital (admission-Unit, sociotherapeutic and long-time wards). Differences in drug-management became evident on basis of a regimen, which applies high doses (number of psychotropic drugs, chlorpromacin-units) in general, despite recommendations in the literature. The treatment refractory patients in the long-time wards are found to be heterogeneous and the authors suggest alternative pharmacological and psychosocial interventions.
