Résumé
Malgré les percées importantes en psychopharmacologie dans le traitement des personnes souffrant de schizophrénie, plusieurs patients demeurent trop handicapés pour obtenir leur congé des établissements psychiatriques publics. Cet article décrit le développement d’un partenariat entre les secteurs public et privé qui a mené à la création d’un programme spécialisé et intensif de réhabilitation behaviorale, dans les hôpitaux publics, à l’intention des patients souffrant de schizophrénie, et considérés réfractaires aux traitements. Les éléments essentiels de ce programme et ses fondements philosophiques y sont décrits. Des données sur les résultats sont discutées afin de souligner le fait que lorsque des traitements basés sur des données probantes sont dispensés à cette population, les résultats peuvent être positifs dans la plupart des cas. Et le nombre de patients « réfractaires aux traitements » devient moindre lorsque son estimation n’est pas seulement basée sur la réponse aux médicaments.
Abstract
Despite advances in psychopharmacology for people with schizophrenia, many patients remain too disabled to be discharged from public psychiatric facilities. This paper decribes the development of a public-private partnership which led to the creation of a specialized, intensive behavioral rehabilitation program for schizophrenia patients who were considered to be treatment-refractory at public hospitals. The essential elements of this treatment program are described, along with the philosophical bases of its treatment. Outcome data are discussed to emphasize the point that when evidence-based treatment is implemented with this population, outcomes can be positive in most cases, and therefore, the number of « treatment-refractory » patients is actually less than is estimated based on response to medication alone.
Resumen
A pesar de los avances importantes de la psicofarmacología en el tratamiento de las personas con esquizofrenia, muchos pacientes siguen estando demasiado discapacitados para obtener sus incapacidades en los establecimientos psiquiátricos públicos. Este artículo describe el desarrollo de una asociación entre el sector público y privado, que ha conducido a la creación de un programa especializado e intensivo de rehabilitación conductista, en los hospitales públicos, para los pacientes que sufren de esquizofrenia y que son considerados como refractarios a los tratamientos. Los elementos esenciales de este programa y sus fundamentos filosóficos son descritos en este artículo. También se discuten los datos de los resultados con el fin de subrayar el hecho de que cuando los tratamientos basados en los datos probantes son presentados a esta población, los resultados pueden ser positivos en la mayoría de los casos y el número de pacientes “refractarios a los tratamientos” disminuye cuando su estimación no se basa sólo en su respuesta a los medicamentos.
Resumo
Apesar das descobertas importantes em psicofarmacologia no tratamento de pessoas que sofrem de esquizofrenia, vários pacientes continuam debilitados demais para obter sua alta dos estabelecimentos psiquiátricos públicos. Este artigo descreve o desenvolvimento de uma parceria entre os setores público e privado que levou à criação de um programa especializado e intensivo de reabilitação behaviorista, nos hospitais públicos, para pacientes que sofrem de esquizofrenia, considerados refratários aos tratamentos. Os elementos essenciais deste programa e seus fundamentos filosóficos são descritos no artigo. São discutidos dados sobre os resultados para ressaltar o fato de que, quando tratamentos baseados nos dados probatórios são dispensados a esta população, os resultados podem ser positivos na maior parte dos casos. O número de pacientes “refratários aos tratamentos” diminui quando sua estimativa não é somente baseada na resposta aos medicamentos.
