Hubungan Duration Of Untreated Psychosis Dengan Derajat Gejala Keparahan Akut Skizofrenia Episode Pertama
Schizophrenia is a severe mental disorder that is multifactorial and has
varied clinical manifestations. Duration of untreated psychosis refers to the
period from which a patient first experiences psychotic symptoms until the patient
has received antipsychotic treatment. Patients often experience delays in
treatment which is believed to affect the severity of symptoms of schizophrenia
patients, which can be measured using the PANSS-EC score. This study aims to
determine whether there is a relationship between the duration of untreated
psychosis and the degree of acute symptomatic severity of First-Episode
Schizophrenia in patients at the Tampan Mental Hospital, Riau Province for the
period of March 2019-March 2020. This study is an observational analytic study
with a cross-sectional research design. The results of this study obtained as many
as 107 patients consisting of 67 men and 40 women. Most of the patients were 16-
25 years old (33.6%). Of the 52 patients who had DUP ≤6 months, 26 (50.0%)
patients had a PANSS-EC score ≤15, and 26 (50.0%) patients had a PANSS-EC
score >15. Patients with DUP >6 months totaling 55 patients consisted of 22
(40.0%) patients who had a PANSS-EC score ≤15 and 33 (60.0%) patients who
had a PANSS-EC score >15. The results of the study using a bivariate chi-square
