Resumen

Antecedentes: los programas de tratamiento psicológico grupal efi caces para las fases crónicas de la esquizofrenia son escasos. Este artículo describe los resultados obtenidos tras la aplicación de un programa grupal, que incluye la terapia psicológica integrada (IPT) junto con una adaptación de la terapia de manejo emocional (EMT), en una muestra de pacientes ambulatorios con esquizofrenia crónica. Método: 42 pacientes recibieron el programa durante ocho meses y se evaluaron al inicio, en el post-tratamiento y en los seguimientos de 1, 3, 6 y 12 meses. Resultados: el programa fue bien aceptado ya que únicamente hubo un abandono durante los 8 meses de tratamiento y 2 ingresos hospitalarios durante los 20 meses de duración del estudio. Se obtuvieron mejorías en la cognición, el funcionamiento social y la calidad de vida tras recibir el tratamiento, y éstas se mantuvieron en el seguimiento a largo plazo. En resumen, los pacientes estaban mejor 12 meses después de recibir el tratamiento que en la evaluación inicial. Conclusión: el tratamiento resulta efectivo, ha sido bien aceptado y podría ser útil en los servicios de salud para reducir las hospitalizaciones, prevenir el deterioro cognitivo y ayudar a los pacientes a manejar sus preocupaciones diarias
