 Objectives:We conducted a questionnaire survey to examine associations between antipsychotic prescriptions and psychiatrists' attitudes concerning prescriptions. Method:Participants were 47 psychiatrists in 21 emergency psychiatry wards and 26 acute psychiatric wards. We asked participants to complete both a 50-item questionnaire to show their attitudes toward antipsychotic prescription and a vignette prescription for patiens with schizophrenia in the acute phase. Results:Of the 50 items, 23 were regarded as feasible items by participants and our research group members. Analysis of 22 participants who completed both the questionnaire and the vignette revealed that antipsychotics were prescribed at a significantly higher rate by psychiatrists (1) who were not likely to monitor the course when the patient/family wanted to increase the dose, (2) who always chose antipsychotics for sedation, (3) who increased the dose of antipsychotics for early sedation to shorten the length of stay, (4) who considered information from healthcare staff concerning the patient's family and daily life at the change resulting from antipsychotics, (5) who prescribed antipsychotics by considering hospital structures and staffing, and (6) who used more antipsychotics if the patient's psychotic symptoms at the initial assessment were more severe. Conclusions:Our results suggest that psychiatrists' prescription habits and perceptions of organizational factors and the conditions of the patients influence their actual prescriptions of antipsychotics.
