Abstract
Introduction: The present research aimed at studying the relationship between obsessive symptoms and obsessive beliefs with mindfulness, regarding the students at state and non-state universities of Rasht city. Methods: The design of the study was correlational descriptive. Statistical population in this study included male and female university students during the 2015-2016 academic year of different grades, and the samples in pilot study included 380 whom were selected based on the Morgan Table and multi-step cluster sampling methods. The revised OCI-R for OCD questionnaire as well as OBQ44 obsessive beliefs questionnaire, FFMQ five factor mindfulness questionnaire were used. Also, to analyze the data, multi--variant regression test and Pearson correlation coefficient using SPSS (version 20) were used. Results: Findings showed that correlated values between obsessive symptoms and obsessive beliefs with students’ mindfulness, were statistically meaningful (p<0/01). There was a negative correlated value (r= %54 as a statistical meaningful difference). Also, there was a negative correlation between mindfulness actions and obsessive-compulsive correlated value (r = %46) as a statistically meaningful difference (p<0/01). A negative correlated value (r = -%42) was observed as a statistical significant difference between non-judgment on the intrinsic events and obsession. Conclusion: Results showed a relation between the obsessive symptoms and obsessive beliefs in students. The more increase in mindfulness observation, the less doubt and obsessive checking would be in students. The more increase in mindfulness actions, the less obsessive compulsive in students and the more increase in non-judgment property towards intrinsic events, the less mind obsessive would be observable.
