The effect of obsessive belief levels on individuals' quality of life, burnout level and stress vulnerability

In this study, predictive power of obsessive beliefs on quality of life, burnout level and stress vulnerability, relationships of these variables with each other and their differentiation according to socio-demographic characteristics were investigated. Sampling of this study consisted of 411 adults. In order to collect data; Socio- Demographic Information Form, Obsessive Beliefs Questionnaire-44 (QBQ-44), World Health Organisation Quality of Life Scale-Short Form, Maslach Burnout Inventory and Stress Vulnerability Scale. Data obtained from the scales applied to the participants were analyzed using the SPSS-22 (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) statistical package program. The analyzes used were Pearson Correlation analysis, multidirectional regression analysis, Independent Groups T Test, One-Way ANOVA analysis and Tukey analysis. According to the analysis, it was determined that there was no significant relationship between the obsessive beliefs of the participants and their quality of life. It was concluded that the total score of the participants' obsessive beliefs, the perception of responsibility/threat, and the dimensions of perfectionism/certainty were positively related to the level of burnout. When the effect of obsessive beliefs on the level of burnout was examined, it was concluded that the total score of obsessive beliefs and the dimensions of responsibility/threat perception and perfectionism/certainty predicted the level of burnout both as a model and specifically. When the relationship between the obsessive beliefs of the participants and the level of vulnerability to stress was examined, it was concluded that the total score of obsessive beliefs and the dimensions of responsibility/threat perception, perfectionism/certainty and controlling thoughts were positively related to the level of vulnerability to stress. When the effect of obsessive beliefs on the level of vulnerability to stress was examined, it was concluded that obsessive beliefs and sub-dimensions predicted the level of susceptibility to stress as a whole. When the specific effect of independent variables on susceptibility to stress was examined, it was found that the total score of obsessive beliefs and the perception of responsibility/threat and its size independently affected the level of susceptibility to stress; It was determined that the dimensions of perfectionism/certainty and controlling thoughts independently did not affect the level of vulnerability to stress.
