UNASSIGNED: The associations of insight into @entity716 (i.e., awareness of illness) with clinical variables have been examined by a great number of studies. Most of these studies revealed that the level of insight is negatively correlated with @entity716 symptoms but positively correlated with @entity308 and suicidal ideation. The aim of this study was to test these findings in a Greek sample of @entity1 . Forty-three outpatients (30 @entity1 and 13 @entity1 ) with @entity161 or @entity4750 being followed up at the Mental Health Centre of Kavala took part in the study. @entity1 with @entity162 were excluded. @entity1 ' mean age was 40.7 years and the mean duration of illness was 18.67 years. All @entity1 were under treatment and clinically stable at the time of the study. We used the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) for the assessment of positive and negative symptoms, the Schedule for the Assessment of Insight-Expanded (SAI-E) to assess the insight into @entity716 , and the Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) for the evaluation of @entity308 recording separately the score for item 10 as an estimate of suicidal ideation. All the scales used have been adapted to Greek population. We used Spearman rho coefficient to assess the strength of correlations between the scales because the distributions of some scores were not normal. In order to assess the predictive value of insight for @entity308 and suicidal ideation, we used hierarchical linear regression analysis. Correlation coefficients between SAI-E and the clinical scales of psychopathology, @entity308 and suicide ideation was statistically significant at the p<0.01 level. The correlations between the clinical scales and the three subscales of SAI-E were also significant at the aforementioned p level. The regression analysis showed that our model of positive and negative psychopathology and insight explained 47.4% of the variance of @entity308 and 32.2% of the variance of suicidal ideation. The predictive value of insight was critically important, because only after the introduction of the SAI-E score in the analysis our regression models reached statistical significance. Taking into account its limitations regarding the sample size and the chronicity of the illness, our study confirms the positive correlation of insight with @entity308 and suicidal ideation, offering support to the psychological model of insight.
