Telefonisches Compliance–Monitoring und Bonusprogramme – Zwei neue Möglichkeiten zur Compliance–Verbesserung in der Behandlung psychiatrischer Patienten?

Aufgrund noch immer unbefriedigender Behandlungsergebnisse in der Therapie von psychisch kranken Menschen sind weitere Maßnahmen zur Verbesserung der Compliance von großem Interesse. Eine Möglichkeit ist der Einsatz von Telefoninterventionen und Bonusprogrammen, die in verschiedenen Studien positive Effekt auf die Compliance von Patienten mit unterschiedlichen Erkrankungen zeigten. Eine Anwendung dieser Interventionen im Bereich der Psychiatrie erscheint vielversprechend, allerdings sind die Daten – vor allem zu Bonusprogrammen – hier noch unzureichend. Weitere, methodisch fundierte Studien sind deshalb dringend indiziert.

Treatment outcomes of psychiatric patients are still rather disappointing. Therefore, new strategies to enhance compliance are of particular interest. Two strategies, namely telephone interventions and monetary reinforcement, have been evaluated in various studies and have shown a positive effect on patients' compliance. The application of such interventions in the field of psychiatry seems to have promise, and new studies of high methodological quality are strongly indicated.
