Validation of the Persian Version of Measure of Insight into Cognition Self-report (MIC-SR) in Patients with Schizophrenia

Background: Measure of insight into cognition self-report (MIC-SR) has been designed for the assessment cognitive deficits in schizophrenia, focusing on areas with known impairment, including memory, problem solving, and attention. Objectives: The current work strives to put concurrent validity reliability Persian version MIC-SR test. Methods: standard forward-backward method was utilized translating from English Persian. In total, 66 individuals received (33 schizophrenia patients), interview-based (Schizophrenia Cognition Rating Scale (SCoRS)), a standardized performance-based battery (the brief (BACS)). Coronbach’s alpha used calculation internal consistency, while intercorrelations among subscales were calculated as well. Then, Pearson correlations between SCoRS BACS purpose examining validity. Results: Cronbach’s value obtained 0.83. entirety measures considerably correlated patient’s rating. Moreover, considerable found WHO-quality life attention solving. However, none significant. Conclusions: demonstrated satisfying psychometric properties that can assess awareness impairments patients schizophrenia.
