Abstract
Obsessive--compulsive disorder (OCD) is a serious and treatment-responsive mental
health problem, with onset in childhood or adolescence occurring in at least half of all case.
This study aimed to determine the prevalence of obsessive-compulsive symptoms among
students of DMMMSU-SLUC. It employed a quantitative, cross-sectional design. The
collected data were analyzed using frequency count, percentage, and weighted mean. A
sample of376 respondents were surveyed during the month of August 2022 in DMMMSUSLUC, Agoo, La Union. It was revealed that the obsessive-compulsive symptom in terms
of washing, checking, ordering, obsessing, hoarding, and neutralizing had moderately
occurred among the respondents. A significant relationship was found between the
respondents' obsessive-compulsive symptoms and profile variables including their year
level and program. Meanwhile, it was found that there was no significant relationship
between their obsessive-compulsive symptoms and the respondents' age and sex.
