Objective: The current research aimed to investigate the impact of short intensive cognitive-behavioral therapy on disgust proneness and response inhibition in children with obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Methods This study used a semi-experimental design with a pre-test-post-test setup and included a control group. The study involved 18 female students exhibiting symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder, selected from female students at Khommam elementary school during the 2023-2024 academic year based on a cut-off score of 16 on the children's Yale-brown obsessive-compulsive scale and clinical interview. Nine individuals were divided into two groups for the experiment, one being the control group and the other being the experimental group. The experimental group received brief intense cognitive-behavioral therapy in 5 group sessions held weekly. The data was gathered using the Maudsley Obsessive-Compulsive Scale (Rachman and Hodgson, 1977), Children's Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale (Scahill et al. 1997), Multidimensional Self-Disgust Scale (Carreiras, 2014), and Children's Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale (1935). To examine the data, both independent t-tests and Mann-Whitney tests were utilized.
Results: The findings of the study indicated that brief intensive cognitive-behavioral therapy enhances disgust proneness in children (P<0.01), whereas there was no variance in average scores pre and post the response inhibition test within the two groups (P<0.05)
Conclusion: Brief intensive cognitive-behavioral therapy may be a viable option for reducing disgust proneness in children with obsessive-compulsive disorder symptoms, and integrating it with other therapies can enhance treatment outcomes for this population.
