Özet: Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a mental disorder characterized by obsessions and/or compulsions. Athough some epidemiological studies take part in literature, which claim that traumatic life events in childhood ages are observed more in patients with OCD compared to healthy population, the number of these studies is limited.In this study it is aimed to compare OCD patients with healthy volunteers in terms of traumatic life events in childhood ages. With 25 consecutive patients who are diagnosed as OCD and whose treatment continues, 25 healthy controls equivalented in terms of sociodemographic features are icluded in the study. Sociodemographic Data Form, Childhood Age Trauma Quarter (CTQ) and Maudley Obsessive Compulsive Question List (MOCQL) are applied to the participants. Significance Value in statistical level is accepted as p< 0,05. In OCD patient group, CTQ scores are found high in statistical level compared to healthy controls.It has been determined that there is a significant relationship between total score of MOCQL slowness subscale scores, subscalescores of sexual and emotional abuse, MOCQL rumination subscale scores and CTQ sexual abuse scores. Compared to healthy controls,more findings of traumatic life event in childhood age are observed within OCD patients.
