[ES]: La esquizofrenia es una enfermedad mental muy compleja que, a lo largo de la historia, ha sido definida de muy diversas maneras, en la que la predisposición genética parece tener una especial relevancia. Es una enfermedad de baja prevalencia pero muy incapacitante y los pacientes esquizofrénicos pueden recibir tratamientos muy dispares. Dentro del tratamiento farmacológico, los antipsicóticos han mostrado una notable mejoría con respecto a la evolución y el pronóstico de la enfermedad. Sin embargo, presentan una serie de efectos secundarios, siendo de uno de los más graves, desde el punto de vista clínico, el denominado síndrome metabólico. Además, una de las mayores complicaciones que presentan es la resistencia a la insulina y, por consiguiente, el alto riesgo de aparición de diabetes mellitus. Es labor, no solo del equipo de enfermería, sino también de los demás componentes del equipo de salud, instruir al paciente en una serie de hábitos saludables que disminuyan el riesgo de padecer sobrepeso, resistencia a la insulina, hipertensión, y con ello desarrollar enfermedades cardiovasculares o diabetes.
[EN]: Schizophrenia is a complex mental illness that, throughout history, has been defined in many different ways, and in which genetic predisposition appears to have a special relevance. It is a disease of low prevalence, but is very disabling and schizophrenic patients can receive very different treatments. Regarding pharmacological treatments, antipsychotic agents have shown to produce a marked improvement in the evolution and prognosis of the disease. However, they have a number of side effects, being the metabolic syndrome one of the most serious from the clinical point of view. Indeed, one of the major complications presented is the insulin resistance and therefore, the high risk of diabetes mellitus. The role of the nursing staff, and also other members of the health team, is to instruct the patient in healthy habits to reduce the risk of overweight, insulin resistance and hypertension, and therefore developing cardiovascular disease or diabetes.
