Abstract

Insight is one of the most common phenomenon among patients with schizophrenia. Insight is a complex multidimensional concept that includes awareness of mental disorder, understanding of the social consequences of disorder, awareness of the need for treatment, awareness of specific signs and symptoms of disorder and the attribution of symptoms to disorder. There are many studies on insight in schizophrenia in the world, but there is no research on this issue in Vietnam. Therefore, we carried out a study on "clinical characteristics of insight among patients with paranoid schizophrenia" with the aim: "Describe clinical characteristics of insight among patients with Paranoid schizophrenia". Subjects and methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study of 69 patients with Paranoid schizophrenia undergoing inpatient treatment at the Mental Health Institute, Bach Mai Hospital from August 2020 to April 2021. Results: Female subjects accounted for 52.2%, the average age was 31.81± 11,877. insight score on the SAI-E scale is 13.25 ± 5.779, the three-component of insight score SAI-EF1 (awareness of mental disorder) 5.17 ± 2.985, SAI-EF2 (the attribution of symptoms to disorder) is 7.38 ± 3,710, SAI-EF3 (awareness of the need for treatment) is 13.25 ± 5.779. No correlation between insight and positive symptoms was recorded. Negative correlation between insight with negative symptoms, general psychopathological symptoms with p<0.05.
