Relationship Between Self-compassion and Treatment Adherence in Schizophrenic Spectrum Disorders (CompaSchizo)

Treatment adherence is defined by the World Health Organisation (WHO) as the extent to which the patient's history of therapeutic drug-taking coincides with the prescribed treatment. In patients suffering from psychiatrical diseases, especially in those who are suffering from schizophrenic spectrum disorders, the quality of treatment adherence has to be improved. Indeed, non adherance to anti-psychotic treatment increases the risk of hospitalization, of substance use, violent behaviour and of functionnal and cognitif impairment. Selfcompassion, which involves being touched by and open to one's own suffering and to heal oneself with kindness and without judgement and self-criticism has never beed studied as a possible factor infuencing treatment adherence.

This study aims to evaluate if a link between selfcompassion and treatment adherence exists in patients suffering from schizophrenic spectrum disorders.
