Relationship between early maladaptive schemas and high-risk behaviors among patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder

Early maladaptive schemas can explain peoplechr('39')s views on issues and problems and how to deal with life events, and due to the institutionalized nature of these schemas play a role in the occurrence of many behaviors in adolescence, youth and adulthood. The relationship between early maladaptive schemas and high-risk behaviors among patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder was presented. The method of descriptive correlational research was applied. The statistical sample consisted of 90 patients between 18 and 50 years with the main diagnosis of OCD using interview The clinical structure of the first axis DSM-IV-TR was selected. The Young Schema Questionnaire (SQ-SF) and the Risk Assessment Scale (YBBSS) were used to collect research data. Pearson correlation coefficient and regression analysis were used for data analysis. Based on the results, the initial maladaptive schemas are able to explain 32% of the changes in high-risk behaviors and the beta coefficient obtained showed that the dimensions of rejection / cut, disturbed restriction and oblivion are 0.21, 0.21 and 0.24, respectively. Predictable variables are high-risk behaviors (Sig <0.05). The results can be used to improve the quality of life of OCD patients. It is recommended to other researchers about the effect of schema-based treatment protocols on the occurrence of high-risk behaviors and defense and perceptual mechanisms in these patients. Do.
