Purpose: This study aims to examine the relationship between perceived social support, insight, and treatment adherence in patients with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.

Materials and Methods: This study was conducted with 110 individuals, including 55 bipolar and 55 schizophrenia patients, who had been hospitalized in our clinic in the last 1 year and were in remission. Participants were administered a sociodemographic and clinical data form, Young Mania Rating Scale (YMDÖ), Clinical Global Impression Scale (CGI), Three Components of Insight Rating Scale (IÜBDÖ), Morisky Treatment Compliance Scale (MTUÖ) and Multidimensional Perceived Social Support Scale (MSPSS).

Results: The mean age was 40.47±12.96 for bipolar patients and 40.45±11.71 for schizophrenics. Perceived family, friend, significant others support, and total support was found to be higher (p=0.000, p=0.000, p=0.004, p=0.000, respectively) of bipolar patients, and the highest support was perceived from family, followed by friends and significant people. Although the groups did not differ in terms of treatment adherence (p=0.083), the insight score was significantly higher in bipolar patients (p=0.001). Groups were evaluated with hierarchical regression analysis in terms of factors affecting perceived social support. Gender, years of education, insight, and treatment adherence were found to be predictive of social support (p=0.04, p=0.01, p<0.001, p=0.01, respectively).

Conclusion: Informing caregivers (family, etc.) of bipolar and schizophrenic patients about the effect of social support on clinical outcome may reduce the burden of caregivers by contributing positively to insight and treatment compliance.

Amaç: Bu çalışmada bipolar ve şizofreni tanılı hastaların algıladıkları sosyal desteğin tedavi uyumları ve içgörü düzeyleriyle ilişkisinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır.

Araçlar ve Yöntem: Bu araştırma son 1 yıl içinde kliniğimizde yatarak tedavi görmüş, remisyon döneminde olan, 55 bipolar ve 55 şizofreni tanılı hasta olmak üzere 110 birey ile yürütülmüştür. Katılımcılara sosyodemografik ve klinik veri formu, Young Mani Derecelendirme Ölçeği (YMDÖ), Klinik Global İzlenim Ölçeği (CGİ), İçgörünün Üç bileşenini Değerlendirme Ölçeği (İÜBDÖ), Morisky Tedavi Uyum Ölçeği (MTUÖ) ve Çok Boyutlu Algılanan Sosyal Destek Ölçeği (ÇBASD) uygulanmıştır.

Bulgular: Bipolar hastaların yaş ortalaması 40.47±12.96, şizofreni tanılı hastaların yaş ortalaması 40.45±11.71 idi. Algılanan aile, arkadaş, özel biri desteği ve total destek puanı bipolar hastalarda anlamlı (p=0.000, p=0.000, p=0.004, p=0.000, sırasıyla) yüksek saptanmış olup, en yüksek destek aileden, ardından arkadaş ve önemli kişilerden algılanmıştır. Gruplar tedavi uyumları açısından farklılık (p=0.083) göstermemekle birlikte, iç görü puanı bipolar hastalarda anlamlı yüksekti (p=0.001). Gruplar algılanan sosyal desteği etkileyen faktörler açısından hiyerarşik regrasyon analiziyle değerlendirilmiştir. Cinsiyet, eğitim yılı, içgörü ve tedavi uyumunun sosyal destek için prediktif (p=0.04, p=0.01, p<0.001, p=0.01, sırasıyla) olduğu görülmüştür.

Sonuç: Bipolar ve şizofren hastalara bakım verenlerin (aile vb.) sosyal desteğin klinik gidişe etkisi konusunda bilgilendirilmesi içgörü ve tedavi uyumuna olumlu katkı sağlayarak bakım verenlerin yükünü azaltabilir.
