[Role of the IPA in the empowerment of the patient with schizophrenia and use of incentive advance directives in psychiatry]

Abstract

Interruption of treatment and lack of follow-up are the main causes of relapses and iterative emergency hospitalizations of people with schizophrenia. Recognition of mental illness, adherence to therapy and the ability to attribute psychotic phenomena to the pathology promote patient empowerment. In terms of APN's skills, it seems interesting to understand how the proactive supervision of people suffering from schizophrenia by this professional can meet the empowerment needs of this population.
