Popis: Background: Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) is a clinically heterogeneous psychiatric disorder in terms of symptom content and insight. Aim: To study the various factors associated with insight in OCD. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional hospital-based study was conducted among 40 patients with OCD who were evaluated on Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale, Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale, Hamilton Depression Rating Scale, Brown Assessment of Beliefs Scale, Meta-Cognitions Questionnaire, WHOQOL-BREF, and Sheehan Disability Scale. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS version 22. Results: Metacognition, severity of OCD, and associated disability were the significant predictors for insight in patients with OCD. Conclusion: Factors associated with insight in OCD can enhance our understanding in the management of OCD.
