Abstract: (25 Views)
The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between parents’ hypochondriasis and obsessive beliefs in their children, mediated by nervous pressures, in the Education Department of District 8, Tehran. This research is a descriptive-survey study in terms of data collection method and is applied in terms of purpose. The study population consisted of parents of elementary school students in District 8 of Tehran, totaling 1700 individuals. Based on Morgan’s table and a 5% error level, a sample of 313 participants was selected using simple random sampling, of which 302 questionnaires were returned. Data collection tools included the Ahvaz Hypochondriasis Questionnaire, the OBQ for obsessive beliefs, and the Parental Stress Scale. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was used to assess normality, followed by structural equation modeling and path analysis using LISREL software. The findings revealed significant positive relationships between parents’ hypochondriasis and nervous pressures (t-value > 1.96), nervous pressures and children’s obsessive beliefs (t-value > 1.96), and parents’ hypochondriasis and children’s obsessive beliefs (t-value > 1.96). Overall, the results indicate that parents’ hypochondriasis directly and indirectly—through increasing nervous pressures—contributes to the development of obsessive beliefs in children. These findings highlight the importance of addressing parental mental health and stress management as key components in preventive and therapeutic programs for reducing obsessive tendencies among children.
