Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic adversely affected the physical and mental health of individuals. Measures required to prevent the spread of the virus, such as isolation, hygiene, mask use, and lockdown, led individuals to develop obsessive thoughts and behaviors. This study aims to adapt the obsession with COVID-19 scale (OCS) to Turkish culture. This four-item scale aims at measuring obsessive thoughts related to COVID-19. The study group consisted of 870 participants from seven regions of Turkey. Data from different groups were collected for exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses. Data for the exploratory factor analysis were collected from 296 (71.5%) females and 118 (28.5%) males (n = 414). For the confirmatory factor analysis, data were collected from 301 (66.0%) females and 155 (34.0%) males (n = 456). As a result of the analysis, the one-dimensional structure of the TR-OCS was confirmed in the Turkish sample. It was revealed that TR-OCS scores had a positive relationship with depression, anxiety, and stress but a negative relationship with resilience. The findings confirmed that the TR-OCS was valid and reliable. This scale is a short and effective tool for measuring obsessive thoughts related to COVID-19.

土耳其版COVID-19强迫症量表(TR-OCS)的改编:与心理困扰和恢复力的关系

2019冠状病毒病大流行对个人身心健康造成不利影响。防止病毒传播所需的措施，如隔离、卫生、戴口罩和封锁，导致个人产生强迫性的想法和行为。本研究旨在使对COVID-19量表(OCS)的痴迷适应土耳其文化。这个四项量表旨在测量与COVID-19相关的强迫思维。该研究小组由来自土耳其七个地区的870名参与者组成。收集不同组的数据进行探索性和验证性因素分析。探索性因素分析的数据来自296名(71.5%)女性和118名(28.5%)男性(n = 414)。为验证性因子分析，收集了301名(66.0%)女性和155名(34.0%)男性(n = 456)的数据。分析结果表明，土耳其样品中TR-OCS的一维结构得到了证实。结果表明，TR-OCS得分与抑郁、焦虑、压力呈显著正相关，与心理弹性呈显著负相关。结果证实了TR-OCS的有效性和可靠性。这个量表是一个简短而有效的工具，用于测量与COVID-19相关的强迫思维。
