Abstract
Background and Objective: Obsessive-compulsive disorder and its socio-health consequences are one of the most costly issues in today's society. Therefore, the present study was conducted to predict the symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder based on corona anxiety and Islamic lifestyle in women.
Methods: The method used in this study was descriptive correlational. Out of the women with obsessive-compulsive disorder referring to the psychiatric ward of Farabi Educational and Medical Center in Kermanshah in 2020, 200 couples were selected by available sampling method and completed Alipour et al.’s Corona Anxiety Scale, Hudgson and Rachman’s Obsessive-Compulsive Scale, and Kaviani’s Islamic Lifestyle Scale. Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistics, correlation matrix and hierarchical regression. In this study, all ethical considerations were observed and the authors reported no conflict of interests.
Results: The results showed that the severity of obsessive-compulsive disorder symptoms was inversely related to Islamic lifestyle (r=-0.61, P=0.004) and its dimensions (P<0.05). The psychological factor of corona anxiety (r=0.42, P=0.001) and the physical factor of corona anxiety (r=0.27, P=0.015) showed a positive and significant relationship with the severity of obsessive-compulsive symptoms at the level of 0.05. Regression analysis showed that corona anxiety predicts 20% of the variance in obsessive severity. The Islamic lifestyle, independent of the corona anxiety, was able to predict 6% of the variance in the severity of the obsession.
Conclusion: In general, the results showed that the Islamic lifestyle and control of coronary anxiety can be used to reduce severity of the symptoms in obsessive patients.
