  1. According to the chi-squared test performed on OCD symptoms of the three groups, no significant difference was observed between the three groups and they showed a similar rate of obsessional symptoms (X2 (2, N = 70) = 3.0333, p = 0.2194). Even a comparison of the COVID-19 patient group to either university staff and orthopedic patients group separately did not unveil any significance with (X2 (1, N = 70) = 1.3006, p = 0.2541)
