| Objective To collect the medication status of schizophrenia patients at home in Mianyang， so as to explore effective ways to improve the management and treatment for patients.Methods In April 2018， A total of 10 452 schizophrenia patients and their guardians in Mianyang were investigated by a self-designed questionnaire on medication status of patients with severe mental disorders at home in Mianyang by uniformly trained investigators. The contents of the questionnaire included the general situation of the patients， the use of antipsychotic drugs in the past month and the related factors affecting the use of antipsychotic drugs.Results Among 9 831 schizophrenia patients， there were 7 175（72.98%）patients regularly taking medicine， 1 238 （12.59%） patients intermittently taking medicine， and 1 418 （14.43%） patients not taking medicine. The main reason for intermittent medication and non-medication was "the patient refused to take medicine"， accounting for 1 791 cases （67.43%）. There were significant differences in psychotic symptoms and family economic conditions among different medication conditions （P<0.05 or 0.01）. The major factors that affect the patients’ attitude towards taking medicine are guardians' attitude towards medication （F=565.770，P<0.01） and medication frequency （F=308.299，P<0.01）.Conclusion The drug compliance of schizophrenia patients at home is affected by many factors， and the attitude of their guardians and the frequency of antipsychotic drugs were important factors. |
