INTRODUCTION: This study aimed was to investigate the relationship between
different types of childhood trauma and the level of insight (i.e., awareness of
having a psychiatric disorder) in subjects suffering from schizophrenia, as well
as the putative role of clinical mediators.
METHODS: 294 community-dwelling subjects with stable schizophrenia were included
into FACE-SZ, a multicentre cross-sectional study. All patients were assessed by
specialized multidisciplinary teams. The level of insight was assessed by the
Scale to assess Unawareness of Mental Disorder (SUMD), and childhood trauma by
the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ). Path analyses from the five CTQ
subscales (physical abuse and neglect, emotional abuse and neglect, and sexual
abuse) and the SUMD, with current symptomatology (i.e., positive, negative,
global psychopathology and depression) as mediator, was performed.
RESULTS: Physical neglect (β = 0.14) and abuse (β = 0.13) were significantly
associated with poor insight. Negative symptoms were a clinical mediator of the
relationship between physical neglect and poor insight. Moreover, positive
(β = 0.21) and negative (β = 0.30) symptoms were associated with poor insight,
whereas depression (β = -0.14) was associated with higher levels of insight.
DISCUSSION: For the first time, this study shows a significant relationship
between childhood trauma, specifically physical neglect and abuse, and poor
insight. The level of insight was linked to different clinical dimensions. Among
subjects with schizophrenia, these results provide support for a role of
childhood trauma in poorer management outcomes, and the need to provide
treatment, including psycho-education that better targets the consequences of
childhood trauma.
