Sažetak
OBJECTIVE: To present descriptive data about patients who participated in the Early Intervention Program for patients with psychotic disorders. METHOD: The Program offers structured psycho- educational workshops and psychodynamic group psychotherapy for patients and their family members. Descriptive data are collected at the point of inclusion and during the program. Data of those who were included in the outpatient part of the Program were compared to those of the patients who did not continue after hospitalization. RESULTS: 171 patients with psychotic disorders have been included during last three years. Descriptive data are presented (gender, age, education, employment, marital status, number of hospitalizations, duration of untreated psychosis - DUP). All the patients participated in inpatient part of the program, while 58.8% have decided to participate in outpatient part. Those who participated in the outpatient part differed from those who did not: there were more women, had a longer DUP, more of them were single and more students and fewer of those with permanent or temporary employment. CONCLUSION: Considerable number of patients did not participate in the outpatient part which could partly be attributed to their demographic characteristics. Therefore, this findings should be considered when implementing this Program in the future.
