The present study was designed to assess the therapeutic compliance of psychiatric patients who reported to be on regular medication particularly phenothiazines. Of the all cases subjected to the F.P.N, test, it was clearly negative in 21 (18.9 %) indicating, their non-adherence to the drug therapy. Despite their report of regular drug intake at the time of urine screening, five of these twenty one patients had reported at a later date discontinuity of therapy for some reason or the other. Curiously, on a long term drug therapy, the incidence of non-compliance is relatively less.
本研究旨在评估报告正在定期服用药物(特别是吩噻嗪类药物)的精神科患者的治疗依从性。在所有接受 F.P.N. 测试的病例中,21 例(18.9%)结果为阴性,表明他们不遵守药物治疗。尽管这些患者在尿液筛查时报告了定期药物摄入,但其中五人后来因某种原因报告中断了治疗。奇怪的是,长期药物治疗的不依从性发生率相对较低。
