Relapses are defined as the exacerbation of psychotic symptoms involving hospitalization or new contact with health services. Thus, the present study aims to evaluate the related factors to relapse in FEP patients. Prospective exploratory study to be developed with follow-up patients in a FEP outpatient clinic of a university hospital and their relatives. Data will be collected through interviews with patients and their families, application of eight instruments and monthly evaluation of the occurrence of relapses during the six-month period after the initial interview.
