This paper explores and questions the ideas and notions in respect of non-compliant behaviours. Traditionally, research into this area has focused on identifying individual characteristics from within the adult branch of nursing and within the confines of the medical model of compliance. Little research has investigated the phenomena of non-compliance within the specialty of mental health. It may be suggested that identifying characteristics in this setting is futile. There are many factors determining a client's compliance behaviours. These include gender, social class, race and socio-economic status. Those suffering from mental ill health are often the most vulnerable in society and it may be argued that as such are often coerced into accepting treatment with those who refuse frequently being labelled as non-conformist. The ability of the client to refuse treatment should be based upon informed consent, but is often dependent upon the social prejudice of the health care professional, their misuse of power to bring about compliance behaviours and their inability to act as an effective advocate. Finally, by eliciting information, shared negotiation, planning and improved communication health professionals may improve compliance behaviours based upon the client's needs and wishes.

“…It implies that the patient is under no compulsion to accept a particular treatment, and shall not be held solely responsible for the failure of a treatment-plan because of non-adherence [1,17,19,21,34,38,42] . Therefore, adherence has been defined as the: "extent to which the patient' s behaviour matches agreed recommendations from the prescriber" [21,34,35,38,42,50] . Similarly, in other definitions, adherence refers to the capacity and readiness of the patient to abide by mutually agreed recommendations regarding treatment [51] .…”

“…The management of targeted therapies is thus more plural and collective than other treatments. Communication between doctor and patient is essential (Haskard Zolnierek & DiMatteo, 2009;Siminoff & Fetting, 1991), as is the assurance of a good therapeutic alliance (Barofsky, 1978;Mack et al, 2009). However, all those involved in managing the treatment have not yet developed the organisation and management as specific to oral targeted therapies.…”

New oral targeted therapies for metastatic breast cancer disrupt the traditional patients’ management-A healthcare providers’ view

et al. 2016

Although a cure still cannot be expected for metastatic breast cancer, thanks to progressive advances in treatments, life expectancy has been increasing over the past 15 years. This study aims to present the impact on the organisation of patients' management of newly released oral targeted therapies dedicated to metastatic breast cancer and the obstacles to their diffusion. Our work is based on the analysis of 40 semi-structured interviews, conducted with oncology healthcare professionals in three regions of France (2015-2016). It shows three main results. First, the prescription of an oral targeted therapy requires greater collaboration between healthcare professionals than traditional intravenous oncology drugs, which may be challenging. Second, there remain many barriers to the dissemination of oral targeted therapies. Third, taking an oral targeted therapy keeps the patient away from the hospital facility and asks for a strong therapeutic alliance. The management of oral targeted therapies is time-consuming for medical oncologists and disrupts the traditional care pathway. The multiplication of actors involved in patients' management reinforces the slowdown in the deployment and acceptance of therapeutic innovations. More players equal a higher risk of slowdown. Questioning and re-designing hospital organisation and management modalities towards this type of care are critical.
