title: [Medication-related attitudes of chronic schizophrenic patients. A follow-up study after psycho-educational intervention].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To evaluate the effect of a psychoeducational training, compliance, medication management, and illness-related attitudes were assessed among schizophrenic outpatients.
  
  
  METHODS
  Study patients who attended at least 70% of 10 psychoeducational sessions (n = 74) and the 57 patients of the control group were reexamined 2 years after the end of intervention.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Attenders had better compliance, were more confident in medication codetermination and more satisfied with their knowledge about medication. Confidence in medication and physician increased whereas in the control both decreased.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Although there were no statistically significant differences the results show impressive longterm effects of psychoeducational training.
