The goal of the present study was to discover the factors which influence psychiatric day care patients to remain in treatment. Of the numerous variables examined, three accounted for 65 percent of the variance. They were prior duration of the disorder which accounted for about half, followed by patients' satisfaction with treatment, and age. Contrary to previous findings, patients' initial expectations and whether or not they were confirmed played no part in their decision to remain in treatment.
本研究的目的是找出影响精神科日间护理患者持续接受治疗的因素。在所考察的众多变量中，有三个变量占了差异的65%。它们分别是疾病的既往持续时间（约占一半），其次是患者对治疗的满意度和年龄。与之前的研究结果相反，患者最初的期望以及这些期望是否得到证实对他们继续接受治疗的决定没有影响。
