The measurements utilized include the online forms of the demographic information questionnaire, Obsession with COVID-19 Scale, The Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale, and The Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale. Data analysis was done using SPSS 21 and Amos 20. The descriptive statistics indicators, confirmatory factor analysis, Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient, and Cronbach’s alpha were applied. Findings The study population consisted of 94 male and 306 female individuals (23.50% and 76.50%, respectively). The mean±SD of the participants’ age was 29.48±9.32. Cronbach’s alpha of the scale was measured to be 0.79. There was a significant convergent validity between Obsession with COVID-19 Scale with The Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale, and Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale (p<0.001).
