Objective: To investigate patient's perceived satisfaction and adequacy of information given by doctors on prescribed drugs in an outpatient psychiatric setting. Methods: The sampling was done consecutively with a target sample size of 200 patients. A simple questionnaire that was developed with 10 close-ended questions and yes or no answers was administered by the interviewing team. This questionnaire assessed patients' knowledge on prescribed medications and their perception on the adequacy of information given. Results: More than 80% of the patients were informed regarding the reasons, timing to take medication(s), duration of drug treatment and type of prescribed drugs. Half of them were informed regarding the side effect profiles of their prescribed medications. Majority of them (80%) were satisfied with the information given despite only 49% of the patients being given adequate information on their medications. Conclusion: Patients who are adequately informed about their medications are more significantly satisfied than those inadequately informed.(x2=4.085,p‹0.05).

Keywords: perceived satisfaction, adequacy of information, prescribed psychotropic drug
