Psychometric Evaluation of the Over‐Cleanliness Scale (OCS) Amid Covid‐19 Pandemic and the Role of Perceived Stress and OCD Proneness on Over‐Cleanliness: A Cross‐Sectional Study
The study highlights that while stress alone may influence cleanliness behavior, OCD proneness and pre-existing cleaning practices also play a crucial role. Targeted therapeutic interventions for OCD symptoms and habitual cleaning practices can be more effective in reducing compulsive cleaning during stressful events.
