Cue-based Intervention in Prospective Memory and Medication Adherence.
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
Cue based intervention: The intervention arm will receive the cues in the form of daily repeating reminders for a time period of 30 days. The reminders will be set on participants' mobile phones to receive at least 1 hour prior to the prescribed oral antipsychotic medication. The same reminder will be repeated after 10 minutes duration to ensure that the participant does not miss the cue and the uniformity of the cue will be ensured by setting the same emoji or the same phrase on the participant's own mobile phone. The participant will also be asked a task of daily routine during the same time of medication.
Treatment as Usual: This group will not get any intervention but the usual treatment all assessments will continue
Study summary
Medication adherence is a major challenge while treating patients with major mental illnesses like schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder. This interventional study aims to assess the improvement in prospective memory and thus medication adherence by giving time and event-based cues to the participants.
