Abstract

Background

Antipsychotics medication has unwanted effects which occurred during the initiation and withdrawal of neuroleptics. It results in poor adherence, stigma, and difficulties in performing day-to-day activities. Early identifying and managing side effects is very vital for the better management of psychiatric patient.

Methods

This study was a hospital-based cross-sectional study design conducted using a systematic random sampling from 12 March to 12 April 2019 St. Amanuel Mental Specialized Hospital. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders Four (DSM-IV) diagnostic criteria were used to assess the neuroleptic-induced movement disorder. Multiple logistic regression model was used to identify factors associated with the outcome variable at 95% CI (p < 0.05).

Result

This study included 417 respondents. The magnitude of neuroleptic-induced movement disorder was 48.5%. Haloperidol (AOR = 3.37, 2.34–4.12), Modecate (AOR = 1.78,1.10–3.12), khat use (AOR = 2.55, 2.12–3.90), tobacco use (AOR = 3.21, 2.11–5.32), duration of treatment less than 5 years (AOR = 2.33, 2.12–3.02), Haloperidol > 10 mg (AOR = 3.73, 3.44–4.74), Modicate (AOR = 3.23, 2.78–3.99), Risperidone > 4 mg (AOR = 2.10, 1.83–3.56), family history side effect (1.68, 95% CI, 1.22–2.43), and poor social support (AOR = 2.66, 2.55–3.21) were significantly associated with the outcome variable at 95% CI, p < 0.05.

Conclusion

Out of all, half of them were having neuroleptic-induced movement disorder. Periodic and close monitoring is essential to identify and intrude drug-induced movement disorders early as soon as possible.
