Insecure attachment in close relationships in adulthood affects the quality of the relationship and is closely related to various psychopathologies. Relationship-centered and partner-oriented obsessions and compulsions are concepts that have been introduced to the literature in recent years and are considered an important part of obsessive-compulsive symptoms. Although previous studies investigated the associations between insecure attachment patterns and relationship obsessive-compulsive disorder in individuals in romantic relationships, the mediator role of marital satisfaction in this relationship has not been examined. The aim of this study was to investigate the mediational role of marital satisfaction between the relationship adult attachment styles and relationship-centered and partner-focused obsessive-compulsive symptoms. The sample of the study consisted of 380 married individuals (200 females, 180 males) between the ages of 22-70 (M = 40.75, SD = 10.57) living in Istanbul, Turkey. Participants completed the Sociodemographic Information Form, Experiences in Close Relationship Scale-Revised (ECR-R), Dyadic Adjustment Scale (DAS), Relationship Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory (ROCI) and, Partner-Related Obsessive-Compulsive Symptoms Inventory (PROCSI). Findings indicated that marital satisfaction demonstrated a mediational role between insecure attachment styles and relationship-centered and partner-focused obsessive-compulsive symptoms. These results implicate that clinicians might consider the role of the insecure attachment styles and marital satisfaction in the treatment of relationship obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Yetişkinlikte yakın ilişkilerde güvensiz bağlanmanın ilişkinin niteliğini etkilediği ve çeşitli psikopatolojiler ile yakından ilişkili olduğu bilinmektedir. İlişki merkezli ve partner odaklı obsesyon ile kompulsiyonlar alanyazına son yıllarda kazandırılmış kavramlardır ve önemli obsesif kompulsif belirtiler içerikleri olarak ele alınmaktadır. Geçmiş çalışmalarda güvensiz bağlanma örüntüleri ile ilişki merkezli ve partner odaklı obsesyon ve kompulsiyonlar bir arada ele alınsa da, alan yazında evlilik uyumunun bu ilişkideki aracı rolünü inceleyen bir çalışma henüz yer almamaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, yetişkin bağlanma stilleri ile ilişki merkezli ve partner odaklı obsesif kompulsif arasında evlilik uyumunun aracı rolünü araştırmaktır. Araştırmanın örneklemi, İstanbul’da yaşayan 22-70 yaş (Ort. = 40.75, SS = 10.57) arasında 380 evli bireyden (200 kadın, 180 erkek) oluşmaktadır. Çalışma kapsamında Sosyodemografik Bilgi Formu, Yakın İlişkilerde Yaşantılar Envanteri-2 (YİYE-2), Çift Uyum Ölçeği (ÇUÖ), Romantik İlişki Obsesyon ve Kompulsiyonlar Ölçeği (RİOKÖ) ile Partnere İlişkin Obsesif Kompulsif Belirtiler Ölçeği (PİOKBÖ) katılımcılara sunulmuştur. Bulgular, evlilik uyumunun kaygılı ve kaçınmacı bağlanma stili ile ilişki merkezli ve partner odaklı obsesif kompulsif belirti düzeyi arasında aracılık rolü olduğunu göstermektedir. Araştırma bulguları, ilişki merkezli ve partner odaklı obsesif kompulsif belirtiler söz konusu olduğunda klinisyenlerin evlilik uyumuna ek olarak güvensiz bağlanma stillerine yönelik de müdahalelerde bulunmasının önemine işaret etmektedir.
