RESUMO

Objectives: A high prevalence of tobacco smoking contributes to a high incidence of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) in Indonesia. Large-artery atherosclerosis is known to be a significant cause of AIS. The present study was aimed at evaluating the association between AIS and atherosclerosis on the basis of carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) measurements in a tertiary care hospital in Indonesia. Methods: A total of 79 patients with AIS (case study group) and 79 individuals without AIS (control group) were included. Chi-squared tests and odds ratios were used to compare the groups and determine associations. We also considered factors such as age, body mass index (BMI), sex, type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), hypertension, smoking status, dyslipidemia, socioeconomic status, and educational level in the statistical analyses. A p-value <0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: Stratification of atherosclerosis into case study and control groups with respect to all study variables indicated a significant relationship (p > 0.05) between atherosclerosis and all variables except low socioeconomic status (p = 0.265) and low educational level (p = 0.180). Regression analysis demonstrated that a BMI ≥25 kg/m2, compared with a normal BMI, was associated with a 2.139-fold higher risk of atherosclerosis. Conclusions: AIS was associated with atherosclerosis, on the basis of CIMT measurements, according to age, BMI, sex, T2DM, hypertension, smoking status, dyslipidemia, socioeconomic status, and education level in the Indonesian population.

RESUMO

AIM: Brief psychoeducation for families of psychotic patients has been shown to significantly increase family members' knowledge of the disorder. This increase is associated with reductions in relapse and rehospitalization. The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of brief psychoeducation about schizophrenia to caregivers of patients in early phases of psychotic disorders in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. METHODS: This study was a prospective, randomized trial with 2 parallel groups. Subjects were patients in the early phase of psychotic disorders and their respective caregivers. Inclusion criteria included a diagnosis of acute and transient psychotic disorders, schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder or delusional disorder. Participants were randomly assigned to either control or intervention groups by means of paired simple randomization. A brief psychoeducation was conducted for both the patients and caregivers. The interventions were conducted in 4 interactive sessions, once per week. Effectiveness was measured using standardized instruments before the intervention, and at 1 and 6 months post-intervention. Assessment instruments included the Knowledge of Psychosis (KOP), the Compliance and Relapse Assessment, the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale and the Positive and Negative Symptoms of Schizophrenia scale. RESULTS: Interventions improved KOP scores significantly in the intervention group. The intervention group had increased regularity of follow-up with health providers and improved compliance. No statistically significant difference in relapses/rehospitalization was observed. CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrated that brief psychoeducation with caregivers of patients with early phase psychosis was feasible in our setting, significantly improved caregivers' knowledge, and resulted in improved regularity of contact with health providers and compliance with pharmacotherapy.
