Characteristics of early maladaptive schemas in patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder
Objective:To investigate the differences in early maladaptive schemas(EMSs)among patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder(OCD),patients with generalized anxiety disorder(GAD)and normal controls,and to explore the characteristics of EMSs in patients with OCD.Methods:Forty outpatients with OCD and 40 pa-tients with GAD from a hospital,and 40 normal controls from the community were enrolled.The Young Schema Questionnaire-short form(YSQ-SF)was used to assess EMSs of all subjects,and the Yale-Brown Obsessive-Com-pulsive Scale(Y-BOCS)was used to assess the clinical symptoms of patients with OCD.Results:The scores of 14 schemas except for the self-sacrifice and 5 schemas domains,and the total scores of YSQ-SF were significantly higher in the OCD group than in the normal control group(Ps＜0.01).The scores of dependence/incompetence,enmeshment/undeveloped self schema were significantly higher in the OCD group than in the GAD group(Ps＜0.05).Regression analysis showed that the Y-BOCS total scores of OCD patients was significantly correlated with the scores of dependency/incapacity(β=0.65).Conclusion:It suggests that patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder have more early maladaptive schemas,and dependence/incapacity is associated with obsessive-compulsive symptoms.
