520 |a Patients who have been attended to at psychiatric institutions sometimes fail to keep their scheduled appointments. This study was designed to assess the extent and determinants of missed first clinic appointments among recently discharged patients with schizophrenia. A total of 311 inpatients with a diagnosis of schizophrenia were participated in the study. The diagnosis of schizophrenia was confirmed using Munich version of the Composite International Diagnostic Interview. Socio-demographic and clinical data were collected using the socio-demographic questionnaire while analysis was done using SPSS (version 16). The rate of missed first outpatient appointment was found to be 25.7%. Missed appointment was associated with male gender, state of origin outside the study site, long distance from hospital to place of abode, longer appointment duration and illness severity at discharge. The findings in this study support the need for the introduction of community psychiatric services to improve patient access to services in Nigeria.
