- Abstract
In this article we describe the findings of an exploratory study into the application of early recognition and early intervention methods aimed at prevention of psychotic relapses in patients with schizophrenia. Following the results we described in part 1, we now focus specifically on factors which favourably or adversely affect the use of early recognition and early intervention methods. The following issues will be addressed: (i) information and education; (ii) attitude of health care professionals; (iii) the patient's insight; (iv) acceptance of illness; (v) motivation; (vi) other relevant patient characteristics; and (vii) continuity of care. Finally, the implications of the findings for the development of a nursing intervention protocol will be discussed.
