Patients' self-efficacy

Obsessive compulsory disorder (OCD) and the related disorders are diagnosed based on anxieties caused by thoughts, images, and bothering tendencies (obsessions) and repetitious behaviors to attenuate discomforts (compulsives) [1]. Anxiety and regret affect daily activities of individuals [2]. The most common obsessions have to do with thoughts like fear of harming oneself or others, feeling being dirty, fear of behaving improperly, order and symmetry, and the pertinent religious and sexual thoughts [3]. Most of people experience such thoughts [4]; however, the risk of developing obsessive thoughts is higher in those tend to examine and try to neutralize the thoughts [5]. In addition, the most common compulsory behaviors include controlling, cleaning, repeating works, counting, and storing [3]. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) OCD is one of the top ten disabling disorders. Without a proper treatment it develops as a chronic disorder and cause of serious disorders in performance and quality of life [6]. Prevalence of the disorder in one’s life is about 2-3% [7], its prevalence in Iran is estimated equal to 1.8% [8], and the actual cause of it is unknown [9]. Three decades ago there was no treatment for OCD; however, instruction of new medicines and behavioral techniques changed the situation and many OCD patients felt the changes [10, 11]. The most common treatment of OCD is drug therapy [10]. Using reabsorption inhibitors of serotonin and clomipiramin and anti-depression drugs are three highly effective interventions [9]. The last two decades have witnessed new attempts to employ non-drug therapies to prevent the disorder or improve effectiveness of drug therapies [12]. Studies have shown non-drug therapies like behavioral-cognitive therapy is highly effective comparing with drug therapy. Moreover, using a mixture of the both interventions has yielded notable results [13]. Not only the OCD patient but also their family suffer the consequences of the disorder. Studies have shown the great need for the programs to educate the patients’ families and help them to adapt to and control the mental pressure [14]. Recently, a great deal of attention has been paid to the family factors in treatment of OCD [15]. There are evidences that motivating the family members to participate in the treatment leads to better therapeutic results [16]. In addition and as a result of participation, the family has experienced lower levels of stress [17, 18].
