Abstract

Objective: The current study aimed to investigate the effects of short, intensive cognitive-behavioral therapy on disgust proneness and response inhibition in children diagnosed with obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Methods: This study employed a semi-experimental design with a pre-test and post-test setup, which included a control group. It involved 18 female students showing symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), selected from Khommam Elementary School during the 2023-2024 academic year. The selection was based on a cut-off score of 16 on the Children's Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale and a clinical interview. The participants were divided into two groups: nine individuals were assigned to an experimental group and the other nine formed the control group. The experimental group received brief intensive cognitive-behavioral therapy over five sessions held weekly. Data was collected using the Maudsley Obsessive-Compulsive Scale (Rachman and Hodgson, 1977), the Children's Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale (Scahill et al., 1997), the Multidimensional Self-Disgust Scale (Carreiras, 2014), and the Children's Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale (1935). To analyze the data, both independent t-tests and Mann-Whitney tests were employed.
Results: The study's findings indicated that brief, intensive cognitive-behavioral therapy increases disgust proneness in children (P<0.01). However, there was no significant change in average scores pre and post the response inhibition test between 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. Integrating this method with other therapies can enhance treatment outcomes for this population.
