Brief Summary:
Schizophrenia is a severe mental illness which has a prodromal phase of 1-2 years prior to the onset of the illness During the prodromal phase patients might show maladaptation andor poor social functioning However these early symptom of schizophrenia might be overlooked by patients and their families At that period patients might strive to improve their social interactions and social functioning However the efforts might further create their stress level on everyday life which can actually accelerate the illness onset of schizophrenia In other words the efforts would worsen the pathophysiologic changes in the brain which can result in the positive symptoms of schizophrenia
Previous researches found that the critical period for treatment of schizophrenia is the early phase of illness onset especially the first two or three years Delay treatment would worsen the illness To this extent early treatment would bring to a better prognosis as well as minimize the costs of individuals families and society In other words early interventions not only can prevent relapse it also can benefit patients psychosocial adjustments However researches found that the average duration of untreated psychosis is 252 months in Taiwan which indicates the phenomena of delay treatment and this trend might result in missing the critical treatment period
This is a two years study aiming to establish an early intervention program for patients with schizophrenia In the first year it aims to understand the phenomena of psychiatric care services utilization for patients with schizophrenia special emphasis will be on the delay treatment and pluralistic health seeking process In the second year it aims to establish an early intervention program The results of this research would contribute to in-service trainings service providing and policy making of psychiatric services
