Abstract

Dropout from mental health treatment is a substantial hindrance to relevant and effective treatment. Despite the high prevalence of PTSD among refugees, research into their treatment dropout has received limited attention. This study aimed to identify patterns and predictors of treatment dropout versus completion through different treatment stages. The sample included 940 patients with a refugee background undergoing outpatient treatment for PTSD in Denmark. All patients were offered 10 medical doctor sessions and 16–20 psychotherapy sessions. Dropout was analysed in three stages: (1) during the first six MD sessions, (2) during the first eight psychotherapy sessions upon completion of Stage 1, and (3) during psychotherapy sessions 9 to 16. A stepwise multiple regression analysis was conducted for each stage to identify predictors of stage-specific dropout. Counter to expectations, both early dropout and full completion were associated with better symptom outcomes, relative to late-treatment dropout. Key predictors varied by stage, with younger age predicting early dropout, whereas chronic pain and poor Danish proficiency predicted late dropout. Female gender and a clearly articulated motivation for active participation were predictors for full treatment completion. Practical advice is suggested to accommodate at-risk patients and to re-evaluate patient engagement after familiarisation with treatment.

受创伤影响的难民中精神病治疗辍学的预测因素和模式:大型数据池分析。
心理健康治疗中的辍学现象严重阻碍了相关的有效治疗。尽管创伤后应激障碍在难民中的发病率很高,但对他们放弃治疗的研究却很少受到关注。本研究旨在通过不同的治疗阶段,识别治疗辍学与治疗完成的模式和预测因素。样本包括940名在丹麦接受创伤后应激障碍门诊治疗的难民患者。所有患者均接受了10次医生治疗和16-20次心理治疗。辍学情况分三个阶段进行分析:(1) 前六次医生治疗期间;(2) 完成第一阶段治疗后的前八次心理治疗期间;(3) 心理治疗第9至16次期间。我们对每个阶段进行了逐步多元回归分析,以确定特定阶段辍学的预测因素。与预期相反的是,相对于治疗后期的辍学,早期辍学和完全完成治疗与更好的症状疗效相关。不同阶段的主要预测因素各不相同,年龄越小越容易早期辍学,而慢性疼痛和丹麦语水平低则容易晚期辍学。女性性别和明确表达的积极参与动机是完全完成治疗的预测因素。本文提出了一些实用建议,以帮助有风险的患者,并在熟悉治疗方法后重新评估患者的参与度。
