COVID-19 salgını, başta birincil enfeksiyon riski ve küresel, sosyal ve ekonomik yönden yol açtığı ikincil sonuçlar bağlamında önemli bir stresördür ve bu yönüyle de psikolojik sağlık üzerinde önemli bir etkiye sahiptir. Buradan hareketle mevcut çalışmada, pandemi döneminde katılımcıların stres düzeylerinin incelenmesi, pandemik stres ile obsesif kompulsif semptomlar arasındaki ilişkinin değerlendirilmesi ve bu ilişkide duygu düzenleme güçlüğü, obsesif inançlar ve tiksinmenin rollerinin bir model kapsamında test edilmesi amaçlanmaktadır. Araştırmaya pandemi döneminde Türkiye’de ikamet eden; 18-65 yaş aralığındaki toplam 320 kişi (X=33.78, min=18; max=62) katılmıştır. Katılımcılara, COVID-19 Stres Ölçeği, Duygu Düzenleme Güçlüğü Ölçeği-Kısa Form, Obsesif İnanışlar Ölçeği, Tiksinti Yatkınlığı ve Duyarlılığı Ölçeği ve Vancouver Obsesif Kompulsif Envanteri uygulanmıştır. Analizler sonucu katılımcıların pandemiye ilişkin stres düzeyleri ile obsesif kompulsif semptomlarının orta ile yüksek düzeyde değişebildiği belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca pandemi stresinin obsesif kompulsif semptomlar ile ilişkili olduğu, mevcut ilişkide duygu düzenleme güçlüğü, obsesif inançlar ve tiksinmenin aracı rolünün bulunduğu belirlenmiş ve bu sayede semptomların gelişimine ilişkin önerilen yapısal model doğrulanmıştır. Elde edilen sonuçlar pandemi endişelerinin OKB açısından bir risk faktörü olabileceğini göstermektedir. Ayrıca bu ilişki örüntüsüne etki eden bilişsel ve duygusal birçok faktör de mevcuttur. Bu açıdan tedavi süreçlerinde mevcut faktörleri hedefleyen müdahalelerin geliştirilmesi semptomların klinik düzeye ilerlemesinin önlenebilmesi adına önemli girişimler olabilir.
