Abstract

Schizophrenia is a chronic mental disorder with a combination of psychotic symptoms such as hallucinations,
delusions, motivational and cognitive dysfunction. Effective pharmacological therapy for treating
schizophrenia is antipsychotic drugs. Side effects from the use of antipsychotic drugs can affect medication
adherence in schizophrenia patients. Non-compliance with taking medication can result in a higher risk of
recurrence rates. This study aims to determine the pattern of antipsychotic treatment in schizophrenic patients
who experience extrapyramidal syndrome at RSJD Atma Husada Mahakam Samarinda. The research design
used in this research is descriptive observational. The research data came from medical records of
schizophrenia patients at RSJD Atma Husada Mahakam Samarinda for the inpatient period January 2022

schizophrenia patients with extrapyramidal syndrome and 43 schizophrenia patients who did not experience

treatment in EPS patients was polytherapy treatment (69.8%).
