Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Nursing and health Science - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 5
Abstract
Introduction: The relationship between insight, internalized stigma, and level of hope in patients with schizophrenia is imperative because of its close association with patients' readiness to seek treatment for their mental illness. Aim: The present study examined the independent and interactive effects of insight and internalized stigma on level of hope among patients with schizophrenia. Design: A descriptive correlational design was utilized in the present study. Settings: the study was conducted at two settings; inpatient psychiatric department of Tanta university) and Neurology, Psychiatry, and Neuro-surgery center. Both hospitals are under the supervision and direction of the ministry of higher education. Subjects: a convenient sample of 120 patients with schizophrenia. Tools: three tools were used to collect data for this study; Refined insight scale, Internalized Stigma of Mental Illness Inventory (ISMI), and Dispositional Hope Scale. Results: there was a statistical significant positive correlation between insight and hope, while a negative correlation between stigma and hope was found among patients with schizophrenia. Moreover, stigma didn’t interact with insight to affect hope among patients with schizophrenia. Recommendation: psychoeducational programs can be offered to decrease stigma and improve insight while increasing level of hope among patients with schizophrenia which it is considered as an important aspect of recovery.
