Purpose:
To examine the effect of metacognitive beliefs and cognitive insight on subjective perception of recovery in individuals with schizophrenia.
Method:
Participants in the current descriptive cross-sectional and correlational study comprised 133 individuals with schizophrenia being treated in the psychiatry clinic of a training and research hospital in Türkiye. Data were collected using a Personal Information Form, Metacognition Questionnaire-30 (MCQ-30), Beck Cognitive Insight Scale (BCIS), and Subjective Recovery Assessment Scale (SubRAS). Descriptive statistics, bivariate analysis, and hierarchical regression analysis were used to analyze the data.
Results:
Participants' MCQ-30, BCIS, and SubRAS scores were 84.45 (SD = 9.90), -0.15 (SD = 5.12), and 57.78 (SD = 15.26), respectively. Metacognitive beliefs were a predictor of subjective perception of recovery (β = -0.179, p = .034). The meta-cognition score explained 10.1% of the total variance associated with subjective perception of recovery (adjusted R2 = 0.101).
Conclusion:
Results of the current study can guide psychiatric-mental health nurses to develop specific interventions and programs to support subjective recovery in individuals with schizophrenia and improve their mental health outcomes.
