ObjectivesObsessive-compulsive symptoms (OCS) are commonly seen in non-clinical populations but receive considerably less attention compared to obsessive-compulsive disorder and other mental health issues. This study examined the prevalence and characteristics of OCS and its relationship with psychological strain among Chinese college students. MethodsA cross-sectional online survey was conducted in April 2024 involving 3,322 participants; the Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale and Coping Strain scale were administered. ResultsThe prevalence of OCS was 6.5%, non-medical major students (OR, 1.471; 95%CI, 1.027-2.017) were at a higher prevalence risk than medical students. Participants with stronger OCS were statistically and positively associated with the higher severity of coping strain (OR, 5.115; 95%CI, 3.438-7.609; p < 0.001). ConclusionOCS and psychological strain may mutually contribute to the maintenance and/or reinforcement of each other among Chinese college students, suggesting a new interventional model that may help to promote mental health among this population.
