AbstractThe construct of quality of life (QOL), which has both subjective and objective components, has gained increasing importance in psychiatric research for several important reasons, not the least being the current importance of pharmacoeconomic issues. Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) has been suggested to be the worlds 10th most disabling disorder, and pharmacoeconomic studies have indicated that its cost to the world economy runs into the billions of dollars. The use of QOL scales derived from general medicine and other areas of psychiatry has demonstrated the enormous negative impact of OCD on several domains, including occupational function, social function, and family function. Further work to ascertain the extent of changes in QOL during treatment of OCD is necessary.

The Impact

In recent years the number of individuals diagnosed with obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) has increased. With a life time prevalence of 2.5%, OCD is more prevalent than schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or panic disorder. Undiagnosed and untreated, OCD can have negative effects on many aspects of an individual's life, including vocation. With the mean age of onset in the United States being approximately 16 years of age, the impact of OCD on an individual's vocational development can be considerable. Additionally, individuals with this disorder may present a poor work or academic history. Their vocational performance may be incorrectly interpreted as indicative of irresponsibility or a poor work ethic rather than as a consequence of the disease. Therefore, rehabilitation counselors should be cognizant of the symptoms associated with OCD and the negative impact of the disorder on an individual's life. This article outlines symptoms of the disorder, explores current treatment options, and discusses vocational implications associated with OCD.

Background:Despite important relation between obsessive compulsive disorder and self esteem there is death of local data.Method:The present study was carried out in Jan-March 2008 on 64 patients suffering from obsessive compulsive disorder and 30 attendants (control group) attending psychiatric outpatient clinic at civil hospital in Karachi, Pakistan. on inclusion in study, individuals having obsessive compulsive disorder aged 18-70 years were asked to complete two questionnaires to measure self-esteem that measure different aspect of self esteem. a) the Urdu version of Rosenberg self-esteem scale and b) the Janis and Field Social Adequacy scale. Statistical analyses of the scores of the two self-esteem scales were performed.Results:The results of the present study demonstrate that patient with obsessive compulsive disorder suffer significant degree of lowered self-esteem Mean 51.4(SD 12.0)] than control group [Mean 94.1(SD 11.8)] on Janis and field scale. That means that patients suffering from obsessive compulsive disorder have low social adequacy as compare to normal people this was more in female who score low (mean 49.48) than man (mean 53.9). Similar results of statistically significant (p< .000) difference in of control (Mean19.33) & OCD patient (Mean 34.08) was revealed by Rosenberg self esteem scale. in this study both scales of self esteem assessment have high correlation (correlation coefficient = -0.55).Conclusion:The results of this study support the result of other study that there is a vicious cycle between low self-esteem and obsessive compulsive disorders. Low self-esteem makes individuals susceptible to develop obsessive compulsive disorder.

Abstract Background: Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is among the top ten devastating mental disorders. Psychiatric nurses have significant roles in its diagnosis and management. Aim of the study: to investigate the effects of insight with obsessive beliefs and metacognition appraisal on the severity of symptoms among patients with OCD. Subjects and methods: This case-control study was conducted in the outpatient clinics at El Maamoura Mental Health Hospital. It included 69 OCD patients recruited from the setting, and 69 age- and gender-matched healthy controls. A self-administered questionnaire Yale Brown OCD Scale, Overvalued Ideas Scale (OVIS), and Metacognitions Questionnaire (MCQ-30) was used in data collection. The fieldwork was from October 2020 to March 2021. Results: Most patients were diagnosed with OCD at <30 years age (78.3%), and 39.1% tried self-management. OCD patients’ scores of Yale Brown, OVIS, and MCQ-30 were significantly higher than controls (p<0.001). A significant positive correlation was found between Yale Brown severity and OVIS insight scores (r=0.459). The multivariate analysis revealed that OVIS score is the strongest independent positive predictor of the Yale Brown severity score, while good family relations is a negative predictor. As for the MCQ-30, the control thoughts score was a positive predictor, and the self-consciousness score a negative predictor. Conclusion and recommendations: OCD patients have poorer insight and more maladaptive metacognitive beliefs in comparison with healthy controls. Although poor insight has a significant negative impact on OCD severity, the effects of metacognition still need further research. The study recommends training programs to improve the insight of OCD patients. Further research addressing the role of metacognition in OCD is warranted.

Background: Obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD) and schizophrenia both are chronic and disabling mental illness which imposes considerable burden on caregivers. Many studies have also reported that both of them have a negative impact on the quality of life (QOL) of both the patients and the caregivers living with the patients. The aim of the study was to assess and compare the burden of care and quality of life (QoL) in the care givers of patients with Obsessive–Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and Schizophrenia.Methods: The present study is a hospital based, cross-sectional and comparative study. 30 patients with schizophrenia and 30 Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder patients and their caregivers attending the OPD and family ward of Institute of Mental Health and Hospital, Agra were selected through purposive sampling with specific inclusion and exclusion criteria. World Health Organization Quality of Life Scale (BREF version), Burden Assessment Schedule, Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS), Yale–Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale (Y-BOCS) were used for assessment.Results: The findings of this study revealed remarkable burden in the caregivers of OCD and Schizophrenia patients along with considerable and comparable impairment of their quality of life. Caregivers of Schizophrenia patients experienced more burden and have poor quality of life than the caregivers of OCD patients.Conclusions: It is suggested to develop effective strategies for family intervention with the purpose of supporting the caregivers and improving their quality of life.
