Prediction of obsessive compulsive disorder based on rumination and distress tolerance in the corona epidemic

The aim of the present study was to predict obsessive-compulsive disorder based on rumination and distress tolerance in the corona epidemic. The descriptive research method was a correlation. The statistical population includes all people infected with coronavirus who visited Nikoi Hospital in Qom City in the spring of 2021 and the results of their PCR test were positive, the number of these patients was 1166. The statistical sample included 289 members of the mentioned statistical population who were selected using the Cochran formula and available sampling method. Data were collected using Madsley Obsessive-Operational Questionnaire (OPQ) (1997), Nolen Hoeksma and Marlow Rumination Questionnaire (RRS) (1991), and Simmons and Gaher Rumination Questionnaire (DTS) (2005). The results showed the components of being symptomatic, introversion, and censure respectively, have a positive and significant relationship with obsessive-compulsive disorder (p<0.05). Tolerating emotional distress, attention to negative emotions in case of occurrence, mental assessment of distress, and regulatory measures to tolerate distress have a negative and significant relationship with obsessive-compulsive disorder (p<0.05). Also, the results showed that about 15.2% of the variance of obsessive-compulsive disorder was accounted for by the dimensions of rumination (significance, introversion, and condemnation), the dimensions of distress tolerance (tolerance of emotional distress, the amount of attention to negative emotions when they occur, mental assessment of distress and actions The regulator is expected to tolerate distress. It is concluded that obsessive-compulsive disorder can be predicted through rumination and tolerance of distress in the corona epidemic.
