It outlines reasons for non-compliance including disease factors like poor insight and treatment factors like side effects. Consequences of non-compliance include relapse and worsening of symptoms over time. The document recommends strategies like psychoeducation, family support, and long-acting injectable medications to improve medication adherence.

The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

Non compliance
1. NOT TAKING MEDICINE PROPERLY
CAN BE DANGEROUS!!!
Non-compliance to medicine is the
number one cause of increasing
disability in chronic mental
illnesses…
2. Outline
• Definition
• Why is compliance a challenge?
• Reasons for non-compliance
• Factors affecting medication adherence
• Consequences of non compliance
• Strategies for effective outcome for non
compliance
3. Compliance
Adherence/compliance is defined as
“The extent to which a person’s behavior
– taking medication, following a diet,
and/or executing lifestyle changes,
corresponds with agreed
recommendations from a health care
provider”
4. Why is adherence still a challenge
in patient care?
• Non-adherence is more common than treatment refusal or
discontinuation
• Medications with improved safety and tolerability profiles
have not improved adherence rates
• HCPs focus on difficult-to-treat patients on maintenance therapy
– Patients who openly refuse or repeatedly discontinue treatment
• Lack of awareness of patients’ non-adherence impacts
prescribing behaviour and patient outcomes
• HCPs may not consider partial adherence a worthy issue
• Partial adherence may be perceived as inevitable and unavoidable
Masand et al. Prim Care Companion J Clin Psychiatry 2009;11:147–154

5. Chronic Disorders Relapse Fact Sheet
• 5-20% mental illness patients relapse every year
• 20 to 30% patients do not have adequate recovery on
treatment.
• Some patients relapse even when on medicines
• Maximum loss of ability to work, take care of oneself and
have a fulfilling life tends to occur in the first 5 years of the
onset. If not treated earlier with appropriate doses for
sufficient time, the illness becomes chronic.
6. Relapse Fuels the Progression of Illness..
With each relapse
• Recovery can be slower and impairments increase with
every relapse
• Frequent and longer admissions to hospital are needed
• Illness can become more resistant to treatment
• Increased risk of self-harm and homelessness
• Regaining previous level of functioning is harder
• Loss of self-esteem
• Social relations wither and vocational progress is lost
• Increased burden on families, caregivers

7. Disease-related
Poor insight

Cognitive impairment
Motivational deficits

Full adherence is difficult for anyone
to maintain, eg exercise, diets
Patient does not believe medication
necessary once response achieved

Lack of clinician awareness

Factors related to service delivery system
• Inadequate discharge planning and aftercare.
• Dissatisfaction with level of information provided
regarding medication (side effects, etc)
• Lack of funding for necessary medication.
• Level of access to psychiatrists
12. Not taking medicines leads to relapse i.e.
makes the illness recur and hard to treat

15. Medication plus psychosocial intervention
v/s medication alone
• In psychosocial intervention each month early schizophrenic
patients and their families received a day of 4 types of
evidence based interventions :
(a) Psychoeducation (b) Family intervention (c) Skills
training (d) Cognitive behaviour therapy.
At one year follow up patients in the group receiving extra
interventions were more compliant with medications, had
fewer rehospitilization and had better quality of life
( X Guo, et al Arch Gen Psychiatry Sep 2010)
16. Combination of Strategies for effective outcome
• Greatest improvement in compliance was
seen with interventions employing a
combination of

• Broader effects on community functioning

symptoms

18. Psychosocial Interventions
• Psychosocial treatment compliments medical treatment
• Family intervention involves reduction of adverse family atmosphere
• Enhancement of the capacity of relations to anticipate and solve
problems
• Anger and guilt reduction of family members.
• Keeping appropriate limits.
• Psychosocial intervention reduce relapse risk.
• Help in treatment compliance
(Source : Cochrane database of systematic review 2006 issue 4)
19. Interventions to improve adherence
• Cognitive behavioural therapy
• Compliance therapy
• Cognitive adaption
• More frequent and/or
longer visits
• Patient/family psycho-education
• Symptom/side effect monitoring
• Dose correction to reduce
side effects
• Simplified medication regimen
• First generation long-acting
injectable antipsychotics
• Second-generation long-acting
injectable antipsychotics

20. Long-acting injectables lead to increased
adherence
• Non-adherence may be both a cause and
consequence of worsening of illness1
• Long-acting injectable antipsychotic drugs can
help to:2
▫ Improve adherence
▫ Reduce relapse
▫ Lower hospitalization rates
• Any decision by the patient not to attend will be
signalled by failure not to attend for, or refusal of,
injection1

22. Psychoeducation
Psychoeducation refers to the process of giving insights
regarding the mental illness or diagnosis, it’s course,
consequences and treatment to the patient as well as the
caregivers..

Psychoeducation/ Insight sessions include
• Information regarding illness and it’s course
• Information regarding what and how the treatment works.
• Information about role of medicines, duration for which it
is supposed to be taken, probable side effects etc.
• Information about role of counselling and group therapy
• Guidelines about how to manage oneself in case of crisis
