Perceived Experience of the clozapine Treatment Protocol: A Qualitative Study of Reports by Brazilian Patients With Schizophrenia Treated in a University Outpatient Service Specializing in Psychiatry
Despite the repetitive experience of blood collection for rigorous effect control, such a ritual does not seem to bring about symbolizations "more charged" than the chronicity of the disease itself. Therefore, patients benefit from the frequent blood collections, as it secures them from possible social isolation by promoting social interaction. These benefits can help patients to develop new meanings for their life condition.
