In this correlational research, the cluster sampling was employed to select 460 undergraduate female students of Guilan University in the academic year 2023-2024. The data was collected by Padua Inventory (1988), the Existential Concerns Questionnaire, Brown Incompleteness Scale, and Beck Cognitive Insight Scale, then analyzed by focal correlation analysis. Results revealed that there is a significant focal correlation between existential concerns, incompleteness, and insight with dimensions of obsessive-compulsive disorder in female students, and the correlation coefficient was 0.63 (p < 0.001). Also, 39% of changes in obsessive-compulsive disorder dimensions is predictable. The existential concerns (-0.64) and incompleteness (-0.53) had the highest focal weight, respectively. According to research results, existential concerns, incompleteness, and insight affect the obsessive-compulsive disorder dimensions in students and thereby increase its symptoms and manifestations. Existential concerns and incompleteness have the greatest effect on dimensions of students’ obsessive-compulsive disorder, so their effect on students’ psychological vulnerability can be prevented by necessary training and prevention. کلیدواژهها
