The aim of this study is to assess the verbal expressed satisfaction with neuroleptic treatment in thirty psychotic long-term inpatients. Verbal expressed satisfaction was compared with the results obtained in the DAI scale by the same psychotic inpatients.

From all the participants in the psychoeducation group preformed in our centre 30 inpatients were randomly selected. As a pre-test of this group DAI scale is administered and patients are asked about the grade of satisfaction with the neuroleptic treatment received.

A descriptive analysis of DAI scale scores and verbal expressed satisfaction is done and then Mc Nemar test is used to compare the percentage of satisfied patients with neuroleptic treatment using DAI scale and verbal expressed satisfaction. 30 psychotic inpatients were selected. Mean score in DAI scale was 15 points. Only 4 of the selected patients expressed an unfavourable opinion with the neuroleptic treatment received.

A good verbal expressed satisfaction with the neuroleptic treatment was expressed according with scores obtained in DAI scale with no statistical differences in Mc Nemar test between both groups (p=0.22).
