Trial summary

Therapeutic alliance, and drug observance are major difficulties in the care of persons presenting schizophrenic symptomatology. They appear to be linked to insight, the consciousness that one has of his troubles. Nurse care in psychiatry aims at improving it, but usually without using specific evaluation tool.

About this study

Therapeutic alliance, and drug observance are major difficulties in the care of persons presenting schizophrenic symptomatology. They appear to be linked to insight, the consciousness that one has of his troubles. Nurse care in psychiatry aims at improving it, but usually without using specific evaluation tool. Insight is usually not evaluated during care, and its evolution is also not known, although it is highly probable that a positive evolution of insight for a person in hospital correlated to an adapted and optimal care by the medical and nursing teams. The investigators do not know examples of insight evaluation during a sequence of hospital care, or any evidence of insight variation in relation to evolution abilities of some schizophrenic patients cared in hospital.

The investigators propose here to evaluate insight in people presenting schizophrenia or related troubles, at the beginning of hospitalization (I1) and 1 month later (I2), to better characterize insight variations, and identify the sociodemographic, clinical and therapeutic variables linked to it.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. number of collected data explaining insight variation between the first week of hospitalization (I1) and 1 month later (I2) in a model of logistic regression

    identification of the variables explaining insight variation when it is ≥ 1,5: social and demographic data : age, gender, marital status, study level clinical : disease duration, Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS), type of trouble therapeutic : care and treatments received during hospitalization.

    Measured: first month after hospitalization

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing insight variation measure in people with Schizophrenia, run by Centre Hospitalier Esquirol at 2 sites in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Sep 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

number of collected data explaining insight variation between the first week of hospitalization (I1) and 1 month later (I2) in a model of logistic regression (time frame: first month after hospitalization). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 19 Sep 2017.
