This study investigated the relationship between psychiatrists' adherence to pharmacological therapy guidelines and work hours in schizophrenia patients. Using the Individual Fitness Score (IFS) for adherence and a social activity assessment, the study found a significant positive correlation between better adherence and longer work hours (rho= 0.18, p = 2.15 x 10<sup>-3</sup>). This correlation persisted even when excluding treatment-resistant schizophrenia patients. The findings suggest that improving guideline adherence through education and training may enhance functional outcomes in schizophrenia.
