- Description:
- The purpose of this study was to determine if there is a correlaion between effective patient education and the compliance rates of psychiatric patients. An instrument designed specifically for this study, the cognitive slippage scale was utilized to survey the male psychiatric ward in Augusta, Georgia at the Veterans Administration. The findings of the study revealed a significant relationship between effective patient education and the compliance rate with psychiatric patients. The responses overwhelmingly indicated that psychiatric patients can benefit from effective patient education. The patients in this study prove to have discernible lack of patient education knowledge and major cognitive slippage in relation to their thought process.
