Summary

Schizophrenia affects about 0.7% of the population. Poor insight, which is common in this disease, linked to poor drug compliance is leads to rehospitalisation with major impact on quality of life. Indeed, many patients relapse with exacerbation of symptoms. Psychoeducation can improve therapeutic alliance and medication compliance. In this context, an individual psycho-education program (PEPITS) has been developed. PEPITS carried out by nurses during the initial stages of hospitalisation. The hypothesis is that PEPITS program will decrease relapse and improve the compliance and insight and and so the quality of life.
