Abstract

Introduction

Contamination fears and associated washing behaviors are common in obsessive-compulsive symptoms (c-OCS). These fears and behaviors are often motivated by disease avoidance. The COVID-19 pandemic provided a unique opportunity to better understand c-OCS given that public health recommendations centered on behaviors common to c-OCS in non-pandemic times. This review systematically examined the nature of c-OCS associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.

Method

PubMed and PsycINFO databases were searched. A total of sixteen studies were retained (n = 16) using PRISMA guidelines.

Results

the present findings point to the relative infrequency of net-new c-OCS and the importance of elevated c-OCS prior to the pandemic in predicting worsening c-OCS during the pandemic.

Implications

Clinical implications in future pandemics as well as suggestions for future research are discussed.

"我是否应该继续清洗我的杂货？COVID-19大流行以来与污染相关的强迫症状差异模式的预测因素

导言：污染恐惧和相关的清洗行为是强迫症状（c-OCS）中常见的症状。这些恐惧和行为通常是出于对疾病的逃避。COVID-19 大流行为更好地了解 c-OCS 提供了一个独特的机会，因为公共卫生建议主要集中在非大流行时期常见的 c-OCS 行为上。本综述系统地研究了与 COVID-19 大流行相关的 c-OCS 的性质。结果本研究结果表明净新增 c-OCS 的频率相对较低，而且大流行前 c-OCS 升高对预测大流行期间 c-OCS 恶化非常重要。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
