dc.description.abstractObjective: In this study we aimed to determine the reasons why the patients don't come to outpatient follow-up in schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders. Methods: The sociodemographic features of the psychotic patients who had inpatient treatment at our clinic between the years 1998 and 2004; and didn't come to their follow-up examination after being discharged, their variables about the illness, the reasons why they didn't come to our clinic were tried to be determined by means of file scanning and telephone questionnaire. Results: Seventy-one of 118 patients whom we determined that didn't apply to our clinic to receive ambulatory treatment were reached. The mean age of the patients was 34.89±10.08 (median=34, min-max=17-76). Seventy-one of them (%62.8) were male, 42 of them (%37.2) were female. A large proportion of our patient group consisted of the people who had schizophrenia diagnosis (%72.6). Among the reasons why the chronic psychotic patients didn't come to our clinic for treatment were environmental problems such as not to be able to get a patient transfer paper, transportation difficulty, the patient's living in a village, not to have a family member to bring him/her to the hospital, the patient's not creating problems for his/her family. The reasons why the patients use their drugs irregularly or don't use were mostly about not believing the drugs to be useful and side effects of the drugs. It had also a negative factor in the attitude of treatment team that the patients didn't have enough information about their illnesses. Discussion: It is important for the process of the illness that chronic psychosis patients continue their treatment regularly after being discharged. Many factors hindering the ambulatory treatment are factors which are able to be improved. Conclusion: Cooperation with other psychiatry clinics and village clinics, to give information to the patient and his/her family about the process, symptoms and treatment of the illness are the precautions which will increase the rate in continuing the treatment.en_US
