چکیده

Nelle RSA si stima che circa il 15-30% dei residenti utilizzino antipsicotici. Un gruppo di RSA della Provincia Autonoma di Trento ha condotto una indagine con l’obiettivo di ottenere informazioni sulle modalità di prescrizione degli antipsicotici. Il 21,6% dei residenti risultano utilizzare farmaci antipsicotici. La demenza è la condizione clinica presente nella maggior parte dei soggetti trattati con neurolettici (65%). L’antipsicotico utilizzato più frequentemente è risultato l’aloperidolo (37,1% dei trattati), seguito da promazina (29,0%), quetiapina (29, 1%), risperidone (12,2%) e olanzapina (7,6%). La prescrizione di neurolettici nelle RSA in esame è elevata. Lo sforzo di ridurre l’uso di antipsicotici in RSA è in linea con le raccomandazioni delle società scientifiche e si avvale di protocolli per la gestione non farmacologica dei BPSD nelle persone affette da demenza e con l’uso attento dei farmaci.
