Abstract

Purpose: Today, the presence of the positive affect system in the research domain criteria (RDoC) suggests a different treatment path with emphasis on emotional symptoms and without labeling the disorder. Based on this, the present study aimed to develop and validate the treatment protocol for obsessive-compulsive disorder, according to the positive affect system. Method: The statistical population was people suffering from obsessive-compulsive disorder in Tehran in 2022. Sixteen participants were purposefully participated from mental health clinics and sampling continued until data saturation was reached. Data was collected through a questionnaire and a semi-structured interview that was approved. Data analysis was done based on grounded theory method with Strauss and Corbin method and three stages of coding. Findings: The theoretical codes obtained in the research included: reward learning, response to reward, valuing reward and hope for reward. Each of theoretical codes included four central code categories and ten open codes that correspond to positive affective factors in the RDoC domain. Open, central and theoretical codes were approved by six psychologists with a content validity index coefficient of 0.85. Innovation: The treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder, considering the field of positive affect in the RDoC system, can be one of the most recent looks at the etiology and treatment of this disease, which has not been discussed in detail so far. Conclusion: According to the findings, paying attention to the positive affect system in obsessive people can raise the mood and hope of the sufferers and increase their motivation to fight the disorder properly. The findings of this study introduce valuable codes in this field, but more studies are needed to find more and more accurate codes in order to obtain reliable results.
