Mental Illness Prevention Introduction: Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) is a chronic condition that can be debilitating and distressing especially during COVID-19 pandemic. OCD usually begins and peaks in late adolescence which eventually makes university students as a prime target for this study. Particularly, dental students and dentists are more likely to acquire OCD during this pandemic as they are exposed to the germ or contamination since most of the procedures in the dental clinic are aerosol-generating procedures. They need to have strict infection control by reinforcing handwashing and cleaning routines in order to prevent contamination. Aim and objectives: Assess OCD and its relation to emotional disturbances among dental students. Material and methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 138 students from Kulliyyah of Dentistry through an online self-rated questionnaire. The questionnaire consisted of 5 parts. This include the consent, sociodemographic factors and three validated questionnaires to access OCD, anxiety and depressions. The three validated questionnaires are Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory-Revised (OCIR), GAD-7 Anxiety and Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9). Results: Among 138 respondents, 56.5% of students were suspected to have OCD according to OCI-R scale. 33.3% had no or minimal depression, 26.8% had clinically not significant depression while 39.9% of students had clinically significant depression. As for the anxiety, majority of students had clinically not significant anxiety which is 39.1% while 26.1% had clinically significant anxiety. The rest had no or minimal anxiety (34.8%). There was also an association between OCD and depression and anxiety symptoms with p Value 0.000. In relation to sociodemographic factors, there were no association between gender and economic status with OCD, depression and anxiety. However, there was an association between year of study with OCD, depression and anxiety with p Value 0.001, 0.000 and 0.014. Conclusion: In conclusion, majority of IIUM dental students were suspected to have OCD and depressions with clinically not significant anxiety. The results are more profound in clinical students (year 3, 4 and 5) compared to pre-clinical students (year 1 and 2) since they are exposed to the germ or contamination since most of the procedures in the dental clinic are aerosol-generating procedures. 2023-05-10 Conference or Workshop Item NonPeerReviewed application/pdf en http://irep.iium.edu.my/103140/1/103140_Assessment%20of%20obsessive-compulsive.pdf Badrul Sham, Nur Zahirah and Faisal, Ghasak Ghazi and Radeef Al-Ani, Ali Sabri (2023) Assessment of obsessive-compulsive disorder and its relation to emotional disturbances among Kulliyyah of Dentistry students during COVID-19 pandemic.
