The authors developed a fictional drama as a part of medication and symptom management program for the psychotic patients who have received and maintained the sychopharmacological treatment. The program was aimed to support the patients to understand the medical regimen, cope with their illness, and prevent a recurrence by recognizing any of the symptoms when they occur. Fictional drama was written and produced based on the self-efficacy theory, particularly on vicarious experiences. The study consisted of two phases. The first phase was to explore the extent of informations about psychotic illnesses and the specific mental health needs of psychotic patients. Data was obtained from 82 subjects who had symptoms of major psychotic illnesses including Schizophrenia and Bipolar disorders. They had received medication instruction during their hospitalization. The subjects were at the time outpatients in a psychiatric hospital. In the second phase, the researchers developed a fictional drama. The plot of the drama focused on managing the drug side effects, daily routines for medication, medication compliance, and coping with the residual and relapse warning signs. It shows patients who are suffering from some side effects of medications, residual and relapsing symptoms, refusing medications, and coping with all these obstacles in the treatment. On this paper, the possibilities of efficacy of this drama and the limitations of using fictional images with respect to the cinematic viewpoints for the psychotic patients were discussed.
