The present study aimed to examine treatment adherence and life satisfaction among psychiatric patients receiving ECT.</span></span></span><br> <span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="line-height:115%"><span new="" roman="" style="font-family:" times=""><strong><span style="color:#2f5496">Materials and Methods:</span></strong><strong> </strong>This descriptive-analytical, cross-sectional study was conducted in 2024 and included 200 psychiatric in-patients undergoing electroconvulsive therapy at Shariati Hospital in Fasa, southern Iran. Participants were selected through convenience sampling. Data were collected using three instruments: a demographic questionnaire, the Diener Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS), and the Treatment Adherence Questionnaire developed by Fatemi et al. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS version 25, with multiple regression analysis and Pearson&rsquo;s correlation coefficient used to examine the relationships among variables.</span></span></span><br> <span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="line-height:115%"><span new="" roman="" style="font-family:" times=""><strong><span style="color:#2f5496">Results: </span></strong>Among the participants, 66% (n = 132) were male and 34% (n = 68) were female. The mean scores for treatment adherence and life satisfaction were 80.02 &plusmn; 29.7 and 20.4 &plusmn; 8.03, respectively. No significant correlation was found between treatment adherence and life satisfaction (r = -0.086, p = 0.22). However, a significant positive correlation was observed between treatment adherence and the number of ECT sessions (r = 0.13, p = 0.05).</span></span></span><br> <span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="line-height:115%"><span new="" roman="" style="font-family:" times=""><strong><span style="color:#2f5496">Conclusion:</span></strong> In light of these findings, clinicians and mental health practitioners are encouraged to adopt evidence-based frameworks designed to promote treatment adherence, thereby improving patient outcomes and enhancing overall life satisfaction. Failure to address adherence, particularly among vulnerable patient subgroups, may lead to substantial personal and social consequences.</span></span></span><br> &nbsp;</div> Electroconvulsive therapy, treatment adherence, life satisfaction, psychiatric patients 0 0 http://jabs.fums.ac.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-40-14&slc_lang=en&sid=1 Bahareh Fakhraei بهاره فخرایی 100319475328460030816 100319475328460030816 No Noncommunicable Diseases Research Center, Fasa University of Medical Sciences, Fasa, Iran مرکز تحقیقات بیماری‌های غیرواگیر، دانشگاه علوم پزشکی فسا، فسا، ایران Pouria Taheri پوریا طاهری 100319475328460030817 0009-0009-8126-2267 No Student Research Committee, Fasa University of Medical Sciences, Fasa, Iran کمیته تحقیقات دانشجویی، دانشگاه علوم پزشکی فسا، فسا، ایران Navid Alinejad نوید علی نژاد 100319475328460030818 100319475328460030818 No Department of Public Health, School of Health, Fasa University of Medical Sciences, Fasa, Iran گروه بهداشت عمومی، دانشکده بهداشت، دانشگاه علوم پزشکی فسا، فسا، ایران Roya Dokoohaki رویا دوکوهکی 100319475328460030820 100319475328460030820 No Community Based Psychiatric Care Research Center, Nursing and Midwifery School, Shiraz University of Medical Sciences, Shiraz, Iran مرکز تحقیقات مراقبت‌های روان‌پزشکی جامعه‌نگر، دانشکده پرستاری و مامایی، دانشگاه علوم پزشکی شیراز، شیراز، ایران Saeedeh Jafarzadeh سعیده جعفرزاده 100319475328460030821 100319475328460030821 No Department of Medical Surgical Nursing, School of Nursing, Fasa University of Medical Sciences, Fasa, Iran گروه پرستاری داخلی-جراحی، دانشکده پرستاری، دانشگاه علوم پزشکی فسا، فسا، ایران Mahmoud Hatami محمود حاتمی 100319475328460030822 100319475328460030822 No Department of Medical Surgical Nursing, School of Nursing, Fasa University of Medical Sciences, Fasa, Iran گروه پرستاری داخلی-جراحی، دانشکده پرستاری، دانشگاه علوم پزشکی فسا، فسا، ایران Afsaneh Ghasemi افسانه قاسمی 100319475328460030823 100319475328460030823 No Department of Public Health, School of Health, Fasa University of Medical Sciences, Fasa, Iran گروه بهداشت عمومی، دانشکده بهداشت، دانشگاه علوم پزشکی فسا، فسا، ایران Azizallah Dehghan عزیزالله دهقان 100319475328460030819 100319475328460030819 No Noncommunicable Diseases Research Center, Fasa University of Medical Sciences, Fasa, Iran مرکز تحقیقات بیماری‌های غیرواگیر، دانشگاه علوم پزشکی فسا، فسا، ایران Mostafa Bijani مصطفی بیژنی bizhani_mostafa@yahoo.com 100319475328460030824 100319475328460030824 Yes Department of Medical Surgical Nursing, School of Nursing, Fasa University of Medical Sciences, Fasa, Iran گروه پرستاری داخلی-جراحی، دانشکده پرستاری، دانشگاه علوم پزشکی فسا، فسا، ایران
