Abstract: Background: Patients with schizophrenia are often markedly impaired in their social functioning, partly independent of symptom severity. Few studies have examined patients’ self-reporting of their social functioning, how a patient’s self-perspective differs from third-party ratings, and whether or not the patients’ self-rating of social functioning is influenced by their awareness of illness. Sampling and Methods: Based on the Personal and Social Performance (PSP) scale as a clinician-administered scale, a PSP… Show more

“…Impaired insight has also been linked to concurrent and prospective assessments of quality of life [18], poorer personal recovery [19], and poor global functioning [20,21]. In line with this, other investigations have shown that individuals with higher levels of insight are better able to appraise their level of psychosocial functioning [22] and tend to have more self-efficacy when compared to individuals with poorer insight [23].…”

“…The present non-interventional study in a naturalistic setting under routine treatment conditions with a heterogenous patient sample was designed to confirm the results of the previous randomized controlled clinical studies [19][20][21], which were conducted in a more homogenous population of patients. As the physician's view on the severity of the disease and improvement of psychosocial functioning and quality of life may differ from the patientsp erspective [22,23], it is important to assess both perspectives by collecting information from both groups. How patients experience a beneficial effect not only regarding symptomatic improvement and low rates of side-effects, but also how they evaluate subjectively important domains, such as psychosocial functioning and their general quality of life, becomes ever more important with increasing therapy duration as it impacts the will to adhere to and continue with the treatment [24][25][26].…”

“…The heavy reliance on clinician-administered questionnaires in the mental health field to diagnose psychiatric conditions is influenced by the idea that individuals with psychiatric illness have impaired ability to accurately judge their competence in several quality of life domains, such as social interactions, work performance, and self-care [23], all necessary domains in the assessment of fatigue. Previous reports showed that poor insight and awareness of individuals to their psychiatric illness contribute to poorer ratings of social function and physical performance [24, 25].…”

“…For example, increasing concerns are raised that overreliance on self-report questionnaires can lead to overdiagnoses or underdiagnoses of psychiatric conditions [20, 21, 26]. A recent report suggested that the use of clinician-administered probing can provide more sensitive indicators for diagnosing psychiatric disorders [23], and data obtained from clinician-administered assessments can measure severity of depressive symptoms more accurately than self-report [27, 28]. Considering that fatigue items are included in several clinician-administered depression instruments, a clinician-administered fatigue questionnaire could be developed by extracting these items and exploring their reliability and validity to distinguish fatigue from the other symptoms, such as depression.…”
