  The aim of this study is to investigate the validity of the Norwegian version of the Insight Scale (IS) in large and representative samples of patients with schizophrenia spectrum disorders, bipolar I disorder and bipolar II disorder. A total of 997 participants were included (schizophrenia spectrum disorders: 557; bipolar I disorder: 282; bipolar II disorder: 138). Confirmatory factor analysis was conducted to investigate the construct validity and bivariate correlational analysis was applied to investigate convergent validity. Confirmatory factor analyses indicated a reasonable model fit to the original three-factor subscale structure of the IS in all three diagnostic groups. The IS total score and its subscales correlated significantly with both the insight items in the Young Mania Rating Scale and the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale in both schizophrenia spectrum disorders and bipolar I disorder. In the bipolar II disorder group, however, the IS subscales correlated poorly with both the observer-rated measures. Our study supports the construct validity of the IS in both schizophrenia spectrum disorder- and bipolar disorder populations. The study also demonstrates that patients’ self-reports of insight correspond to observer-based single item ratings of insight in bipolar I disorder and schizophrenia spectrum disorders.

Psychosis: clinical insight and beliefs in immigrants in their first episode. Early Intervention in Psychiatry. ISSN 1751-7885. 12(2), s. 185–192. doi: 10.1111/eip.12297. Vis sammendrag

  Aim: Lack of insight into illness is frequent in psychotic disorders and seen as part of their primary pathology. The recognition of symptoms as psychotic, and beliefs about treatment alternatives, is also influenced by socio-cultural factors. Here we examined clinical insight into illness and beliefs about psychosis in immigrants in their first episode of psychosis compared to a reference group. Methods: 277 first episode psychosis participants were recruited to this cross-sectional study; 40 first- and 40 second-generation immigrants from Europe, Americas and Oceania (n=37), Asia including Turkey (n=28), or Africa (n=15). The Birchwood Insight Scale was used to measure clinical insight and “The Attitudes and Beliefs about Mental Health Problems”, schizophrenia version to assess socio-cultural beliefs. Results: Immigrants did not differ from the reference sample in clinical insight. After controlling for education level first generation immigrants were less likely to recognize psychotic symptoms (OR 2.9; Wald = 8.977, df 1, p =.003) and viewed hospitalization (OR 5.2; Wald = 20.388, df 1, p =.001) and treatment by a psychiatrist (OR 4.9; Wald = 6.609, df 1, p =.01)) as less beneficial than the reference group. Immigrants from Asia held more alternative explanations (OR 0.3; Wald = 6.567, df 1, p=.010). There were significantly stronger associations between clinical insight and socio-cultural beliefs in the reference group. Conclusions: Socio-cultural beliefs about psychosis in immigrants in first episode psychosis calls for more tailored information to this group, and emphasize the importance of treatment interventions involving both a cultural and personal perspective of insight.
