“…All studies showed a positive association between treatment satisfaction and adherence, compliance, or persistence; the most satisfied patients were the most compliant or persistent and the least satisfied were the least compliant or persistent. Of the 20 studies, 16 demonstrated a link between satisfaction and compliance or persistence that was statistically significant 9–14,16–19,21,22,25–28. For the four studies that did not demonstrate a statistically significant link, one reported that significant results had been found but did not report what the results were,15 two did not use statistical tests,20,23 and one had results that did not reach statistical significance but showed a trend of positive association between satisfaction and compliance 24…”

“…The four other studies that showed statistically significant results were among several studies that demonstrated a link between either a related aspect or a component of satisfaction and adherence, compliance, or persistence. For instance, treatment convenience, effectiveness, ease of use, acceptability, or tolerability were investigated as elements of treatment satisfaction 9,21,26. Concepts close to compliance or adherence, such as “reluctance to use medications,” “never thinking about stopping,” or “barriers to adherence”10,17,21,25,28 were also analyzed.…”

PurposeTo explore the published evidence on the link between treatment satisfaction and patients’ compliance, adherence, and/or persistence.MethodsArticles published from January 2005 to November 2010 assessing compliance, adherence, or persistence and treatment satisfaction were identified through literature searches in Medline, Embase, and PsycInfo. Abstracts were reviewed by two independent researchers who selected articles for inclusion. The main attributes of each study examining the link between satisfaction and adherence, compliance, or persistence were summarized.ResultsThe database searches yielded 1278 references. Of the 281 abstracts that met the inclusion criteria, 20 articles were retained. In the articles, adherence and compliance were often used interchangeably and various methods were used to measure these concepts. All showed a positive association between treatment satisfaction and adherence, compliance, or persistence. Sixteen studies demonstrated a statistically significant link between satisfaction and compliance or persistence. Of these, ten demonstrated a significant link between satisfaction and compliance, two showed a significant link between satisfaction and persistence, and eight demonstrated a link between either a related aspect or a component of satisfaction (eg, treatment convenience) or adherence (eg, intention to persist). An equal number of studies aimed at explaining compliance or persistence according to treatment satisfaction (n = 8) and treatment satisfaction explained by compliance or persistence (n = 8). Four studies only reported correlation coefficients, with no hypothesis about the direction of the link. The methods used to evaluate the link were varied: two studies reported the link using descriptive statistics, such as percentages, and 18 used statistical tests, such as Spearman’s correlation or logistic regressions.ConclusionThis review identified few studies that evaluate the statistical association between satisfaction and adherence, compliance, or persistence. The available data suggested that greater treatment satisfaction was associated with better compliance and improved persistence, and with lower regimen complexity or treatment burden.

“…It is also possible that the impact of side‐effects on adherence might vary in different environments. When‐side effects are not perceived as interfering with functioning, they might be less likely to be associated with cessation of medication (Gray et al . 2008; Mills et al .…”

“…The data analysis plan was not explicitly set out. Instead, we sought to use an analysis strategy that we adopted in a previous study (Gray et al . 2008), where independent variables with the strongest associations with adherence were identified and put into explanatory regression models, in order to discover the model that accounted for the most variance.…”

The purpose of the present study was to examine the factors affecting adherence to antipsychotic medication in patients with schizophrenia registered with a community psychiatric nursing service in Hong Kong. The study was a cross-sectional observational survey; symptoms, drug attitudes, insight, side-effects, and sociodemographic characteristics were measured and explored in terms of their relationship with medication adherence. A total of 584 patients who were visited by community psychiatric nurses (CPN) participated, and 30% of these patients were non-adherent with their antipsychotic medication. Positive treatment attitudes, awareness of the need for treatment, being prescribed clozapine, receiving state benefits, lower levels of symptoms, and fewer side-effects were associated with adherence. The findings from this study suggest that the clinical efforts of CPN to improve adherence should aim to help patients amplify the personal relevance of treatment and modify patients' attitudes towards medication.

“…Mean total scores for clinical populations were found to be between 37.9 (SD = 11.1) and 61.6 (SD = 12.9; Biancosino et al, 2004;Brown, Chhina, & Dye, 2008;Segal & Silverman, 2002), while the mean total for the BPRS-E among inmates with psychiatric problems in the prison population was found to be 49.29 (SD = 14.78;Gray, Bressington, Lathlean, & Mills, 2008). When individuals were tested over time in a clinical setting, mean scores significantly decreased at each testing interval (Biancosino et al, 2004;Brown et al, 2008), which indicates that the test may be sensitive to change over time following an intervention.…”

The researchers would also like to acknowledge the support of Mr. Aristedes Zavaras and the staff at the Department of Corrections. This project would never have been possible without the commitment and contributions of management, mental health, case management, offender services, and security staff.This document is a research report submitted to the U.S. Department of Justice. This report has not been published by the Department. Opinions or points of view expressed are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the official position or policies of the U.S. Department of Justice.ii ABSTRACT One of the most widely debated topics in the field of corrections -the use of long-term administrative segregation (AS) -has suffered from a lack of empirical research. Critics have argued that the conditions of AS confinement exacerbate symptoms of mental illness and create mental illness where none previously existed. Empirical research has had little to offer this debate; the scant empirical research conducted to date suffers from research bias and serious methodological flaws. This study seeks to advance the literature in this regard.This study tested three hypotheses: (1) offenders in AS would develop an array of psychological symptoms consistent with the security housing unit (SHU) syndrome, (2) offenders with and without mental illness would deteriorate over time in AS, but at a rate more rapid and extreme for the mentally ill, and (3) inmates in AS would experience greater psychological deterioration over time than the comparison groups.Study participants included male inmates who were placed in AS and comparison inmates in the general population (GP). Placement into AS or GP conditions occurred as a function of routine prison operations. GP comparison participants included those at risk of AS placement due to their institutional behavior. Inmates in both of these study conditions (AS, GP) were divided into two groups -inmates with mental illness (MI) and with no mental illness (NMI). A third comparison group of inmates with severe mental health problems placed in San Carlos Correctional Facility, a psychiatric care prison facility, was also included. A total of 302 inmates were approached to participate in the study, and 55 refused to participate or later withdrew their consent. Participants were tested at 3-month intervals over a yearlong period.Standardized test data were collected through self-report, correctional staff and clinical staff measures. Tests with demonstrated reliability and validity were selected to assess the eight primary constructs of interest: (1) anxiety, (2) cognitive impairment, (3) depression-hopelessness, (4) hostility-anger control, (5) hypersensitivity, (6) psychosis, (7) somatization, and (8) withdrawal-alienation. Extensive analyses of psychometric properties revealed that inmates self-reported psychological and cognitive symptoms in remarkably reliable and valid ways.The results of this study were largely inconsistent with our hypotheses and the bulk of literature that indi...
