title: [Can psycho-education of chronic schizophrenic patients have a short-term effect on drug-related attitude and behavior?].
abstract: Within a controlled intervention study with schizophrenic outpatients we investigated the question of whether regular attendance at psychoeducational training for medication management has an influence on patients' illness-related behavior. The patients in the treatment group show better outcome of compliance and some treatment-related attitudes, though without statistical significance. Despite extensive information they are no more content with their knowledge of drugs than the control group, but more aware of problems, i.e. more cautious in medication co-determination.
