The application of Precede-Proceed Model on medication management training in schizophrenic inpatients

Abstract

Objective To evaluate the application effect of the medication management training based on Precede-Proceed Model in schizophrenic inpatients. Methods In this self-control study, 60 schizophrenic inpatients were chosen for this investigation and were undergoing the medication management training on Precede-Proceed Model with conventional nursing care. By using Insight and Treatment Attitudes Questionnaires (ITAQ), The Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS) and Nurses′ Observation Scale for Inpatient Evaluation (NOSIE) after the first 3 months and 6 months of the intervention, in order to evaluate their results with their initial readings. Results The total scores of ITAQ, the total scores of BPRS, lacking in activity factor, reaction factor, hostile-suspiciousness factor, the total scores of NOSIE, total positive and negative factors before the intervention were (183.3±15.0) points, (71.7±10.9) points and (13.6±8.8) points; three months after intervention were (189.0±15.8) points, (75.3±11.1) points and (11.6±7.2) points; six months after intervention were (193.8 months after intervention were15.2) points, (71.8 ±9.6) points and (10.1±7.0) points. There were significant differences between the total score and the total negative factor score before and after treatment (F=43.244, 23.060, P<0.05). Conclusion The Precede-Proceed Model on medication management training in schizophrenic inpatients plays a positive role in promoting recovery and it is worth extending in clinical practice.
