COVID-19 Pandemisi Sırasında Obsesif-Kompulsif Bozukluk Belirtilerinin Şiddetindeki Artışa İlişkin Hastaların Algısı
Abstract
Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, obsesif kompulsif bozukluğu olan hastaların COVID-19 pandemisi sırasında semptomlarındaki değişiklikleri nasıl algıladıklarını ve bu değişiklikleri hangi faktörlerin etkilediğini incelemektir.
Materyal ve Metot: Çalışmanın örneklemini 08.04.2021- 08.10.2021 tarihleri arasında sosyal medya aracılığıyla ulaşılan 262 obsesif-kompulsif tanılı birey oluşturmaktadır. Verilerin toplanmasında tanımlayıcı bilgi formu ve 41 maddelik Padua Envanteri kullanılmıştır.
Bulgular: Pandemi süresince hastalık belirtilerinde artış olduğunu bildiren hastaların temizlik ürünlerine ulaşamama ve doktor/terapiste ulaşamama kaygısı yüksekti. Pandemi sırasında, örneklemin %79'u obsesif-kompulsif bozukluk semptomlarında artış olduğunu bildirmiştir.
Sonuç: Obsesif-kompulsif bozukluğu olan hastaların rehabilitasyon hizmetleri ekibindeki psikiyatri hemşireleri tarafından düzenli olarak taranması önemlidir. Bu hastalar endişelerini ifade etmeye teşvik edilmeli ve herhangi bir psikolojik stres veya sıkıntı tanımlanmalıdır. Gerektiğinde, hastalar daha fazla yardım için ikinci basamak sağlık hizmetlerine yönlendirilmelidir.

Patients’ Perceptions of the Increase in Severity of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder Symptoms during the COVID-19 Pandemic
Abstract
Objective: This study aimed to examine how patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder perceived changes in their symptoms during the COVID-19 pandemic and what factors influenced those changes.
Materials and Methods: The sample of the study consists of 262 individuals diagnosed with obsessive-compulsive who were reached through social media between 08.04.2021 and 08.10.2021. A descriptive information form and a 41-item questionnaire based on the Padua Inventory were used to collect the data.
Results: During the pandemic, anxiety about not being able to access cleaning products and doctors/therapists was high in the patients who reported a rise in disease symptoms. During the pandemic, 79% of the sample reported an increase in symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Conclusion: It is essential to conduct regular screenings of patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder by the psychiatric nurses in the rehabilitation services team. These patients should be encouraged to express their concerns, and any psychological stress or distress should be identified. When necessary, patients should be referred to secondary care services for further assistance.
