schizophrenic patients in Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia and Hospital.
Kota Bharu.

evidence in support of its reliability and validity is provided. The result found there
is significant corr.elation between patients' insight and relapse rate. Patients with
high insight are more likely to have ·less relapses compared to patients with low
insight.

population. Patients_ with high insight ~co:e were significantly less likely to have
relapse compared w1th those with low 1nsight scoore suggesting that insight may
