Abstract

Objective: The present study was conducted to predict obsessive-compulsive symptoms (OCS) severity based on childhood traumatic experiences through the mediating role of self-criticism. Methods: This descriptive correlation study was done using structural equation modeling. The statistical population included adults living in Mashhad in 2021, aged from 18 to 50 years with access to the Internet. Of these, 340 individuals were selected as a sample using the available method. Data were collected using the Yale-Brown obsessive scale (Y-BOCS), the childhood trauma questionnaire (CTQ), and the levels of self-criticism questionnaire LOCS. Data analysis was performed using the structural equation modeling method using SPSS software version 26 and AMOS software, version 24. Results: Results showed a significant correlation between childhood traumatic experiences (r=0.51) and self-criticism (r=0.57) with the severity of obsessive-compulsive symptoms (P<0.01). Also, the results of structural equation modeling showed that the model of the present study had an acceptable fitness and the mediating role of self-criticism in the relationship between childhood traumatic experiences and the severity of obsessive-compulsive symptoms (χ2/df≤3) was significant (0.001). Conclusion: Based on the findings of this study, traumatic childhood experiences are able to predict and affect the severity of obsessive-compulsive symptoms through interaction with self-criticism.

童年创伤经历对强迫症严重程度的预测:自我批评的中介作用

目的:本研究通过自我批评的中介作用，探讨儿童创伤经历对强迫症严重程度的影响。方法:采用结构方程模型进行描述性相关性研究。统计人口包括2021年居住在马什哈德的成年人，年龄在18岁至50岁之间，可以上网。其中，利用现有方法选取340人作为样本。采用耶鲁-布朗强迫量表(Y-BOCS)、童年创伤问卷(CTQ)和自我批评问卷(LOCS)收集数据。数据分析采用结构方程建模方法，采用SPSS软件26版和AMOS软件24版。结果:童年创伤经历(r=0.51)和自我批评(r=0.57)与强迫症状严重程度有显著相关(P<0.01)。此外，结构方程模型的结果表明，本研究的模型具有可接受的适应度，自我批评在童年创伤经历与强迫症状严重程度之间的关系中的中介作用(χ2/df≤3)具有显著性(0.001)。结论:基于本研究结果，创伤性童年经历能够通过与自我批评的相互作用来预测和影响强迫症状的严重程度。

期刊介绍： Clinical Practice in Pediatric Psychology® publishes articles representing the professional and applied activities of pediatric psychology. The journal comprehensively describes the breadth and richness of the field in its diverse activities;complements the scientific development of the field with information on the applied/clinical side;provides modeling that addresses the ways practicing pediatric psychologists incorporate empirical literature into day-to-day activities;emphasizes work that incorporates and cites evidence from the science base; andprovides a forum for those engaged in primarily clinical activities to report on their activities and inform future research activities. Articles include a range of formats such as commentaries, reviews, and clinical case reports in addition to more traditional empirical clinical studies. Articles address issues such as: professional and training activities in pediatric psychology and interprofessional functioning;funding/reimbursement patterns and the evaluation of the cost-effectiveness of clinical services;program development;organization of clinical services and workforce analyses;applications of evidence based interventions in "real world" settings with particular attention to potential barriers and solutions and considerations of diverse populations;critical analyses of professional practice issues;clinical innovations, e.g., emerging use of technology in clinical practice;case studies, particularly case studies that have enough detail to be replicated and that provide a basis for larger scale intervention studies; andorganizational, state and federal policies as they impact the practice of pediatric psychology, with a particular emphasis on changes due to health care reform.
