Overview

Since psychiatry is still too often confronted with a dichotomy between psyche and soma, the assessment of pain and anxiety at RMI is still rarely done (Willer et al., 1982). The objective of this exploratory study is to evaluate the influence of pharmacological factors (type of injected molecules, injection frequency, injection site, treatment duration, treatment dose, time since last injection) and individual about the pain perceived when injecting antipsychotic therapy (diagnosis, sex, age, weight, duration of illness, level of anxiety, psychiatric and somatic comorbidity, insight). In the future, this study will develop a suitable procedure to limit pain and anxiety during RMI. Taking these dimensions into account will probably allow a better compliance of patients for this type of care, and thus a decrease in the number of relapses in the long term.
