Area of Science:

  • Psychiatry and Mental Health
  • Health Services Research

Context:

  • Significant patient dropout (25-50%) impacts outpatient care, leading to resource waste and treatment failure.
  • This issue results in professional dissatisfaction and the 'revolving door' phenomenon in mental health services.

Purpose:

  • To systematically review literature published between 1992-1998 on variables associated with non-compliance and dropout.
  • To identify and analyze strategies proposed for addressing patient non-compliance and treatment discontinuation.

Summary:

  • A Medline database search (1992-1997) identified 144 references using keywords related to dropout, non-compliance, and mental health.
  • The review included 24 original articles, 5 review articles, and 1 letter to the editor from 27 journals and 6 nationalities.

Impact:

  • Findings aim to inform clinical practice and policy to reduce patient dropout rates.
  • Improved understanding of non-compliance factors and effective strategies can enhance treatment outcomes and optimize resource allocation in mental healthcare.
