, Nora M. Al-Yahya . 2013

Insight Social Withdrawal Preoccupation Knowledge Psychotic Disorder

This study aimed to evaluate the relations of insight on, symptoms of and knowledge about

schizophrenia with medication adherence in people with schizophrenia at Al Amal Complex, Riyadh City.

A quantitative, descriptive, exploratory research design was utilized in this study. The study was conducted

at Al Amal Complex, Riyadh City; 20 female participants complaining of schizophrenia were enrolled. Data were

collected using four tools: insight observation and assessment questionnaire, social withdrawal observation

scale, medication observation checklist and demographic data questionnaire. Results revealed that clients with

schizophrenia had impaired insight that led to non-adherence to medication regimens. In conclusion,

Assessment of client symptoms and adherence reported an exacerbation of psychotic symptoms and lack of

understanding for the purpose of psychotic medication however medication adherence was surprisingly not

very low. The findings suggested that there is need for a psycho-educational program developed specifically

for clients with chronic schizophrenia. Such a program should include content to enhance client insights on

schizophrenia and adherence to medication regimens.
