Setting and Sample: The setting for the study
was the outpatient psychiatric clinic of a psychiatric
hospital in northern Thailand. Eighty-eight potential
subjects were identified from the psychiatric outpatient
clinic patient roster and approached by the researchers.
Fourteen of those identified declined to participate due
to: their caregivers not allowing them to do so (n =
3); wanting to rapidly return to work (n = 6); and,
wanting to “rush home,” which was a considerable
distance from the hospital (n = 5).
Through use of a power analysis, with an alpha
of 0.05, a power of 0.80, and four selected predictors,
a sample size of 74 subjects was determined to be
needed. The inclusion criteria consisted of Thais who
were: 18 to 60 years of age; being treated with
antidepressant medications; able to demonstrate a score
≥ 3.5 on the Medication Compliance Inventory;36 in
full remission, for two to six months, upon hospital
discharge; living with a key family member, since the
