Role of insight and self-efficacy in persons with obsessive–compulsive disorder
Open accessAbstract
Objectives: Obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD) is estimated to be the 10 th leading cause of disability in the world with a point prevalence of OCD at 3.3%. The present study was aimed at understanding the role of insight and self-efficacy in OCD and the relationship between these variables with OCD severity. Materials and Methods: It was a cross-sectional correlational study. The sample consisted of 100 males and females with a diagnosis of OCD. The variables were measured using the Yale-Brown Obsessive–Compulsive Scale (Y-BOCS) Symptom Checklist, Y-BOCS II, Brown Assessment of Beliefs Scale, and Self-Efficacy Scale. Results: The study revealed that a large portion of the patients fell in the “Severe”' range on Y-BOCS. Females reported a higher percentage of contamination and ordering obsessions as compared to males. Thirty-seven percent (37%) of the patients scored “Average” on self-efficacy results. A positive correlation between OCD severity and insight was found. Conclusion: Findings have important implications in clinical settings and can be used in the development of more focused, brief intervention strategies based on insight and self-efficacy. The primary limitation of the study was that data were obtained in a tertiary care hospital from an urban setting.

Lower perceived self-efficacy predicts more severe OCD symptoms and lower quality of life in clinical and non-clinical populations.
“lower perceived self-efficacy has been found to predict more severe OCD symptoms and lower quality of life in both clinical (Ezz-Eldin Prince Ali, 2020; Bhardwaj et al., 2022; Jones and Menzies, 1997) and non-clinical (Shafie kahani et al., 2022) populations.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
