He is given several difficulties when it comes to complying with therapeutic adherence, some of the main causes are due to lack of insight on the part of the user, the side effects of the medication or a poor therapeutic relationship (RT)between healthcare staff and the user. Thus, nursing plays a key role in alleviating this deficit in the field of mental health, through psychoeducational tools and strategies; foster quality RT to ensure a climate of trust; to make the user a protagonist in the disease process; and individualize each clinical case. The purpose is to achieve the psychopathological stability of the user in order to ensure a good quality of life.GoalThe aim is to describe health education interventions that improve adherence to psychotropic drugs in adult patients with schizophrenia.MethodologyA systematic bibliographic search has been carried out in the different databases: Pubmed, Dialnet, CINHAL, Scopus, Web of Science (WOS) and Google Scholar.
