Am I really straight? Did I hit someone while driving? OCD is sometimes called the “doubting disease” (Singer, 2013) because its sufferers tend to doubt the truth or definitiveness of their obsession. These obsessions cause distress and anxiety in the individual who may attempt to suppress the obsession or reassure himself using another thought or action which then becomes compulsive. Because it is impossible to have certainty all of the time, OCD sufferers are stuck in a cycle of obsessions and doubt, compulsions and further doubt. This project’s aim was to provide comprehensive, evidence-based care to patients of the OCD clinic. 000002993 650__ $$aObsessive Behavior$$023122 000002993 650__ $$aObsessive-Compulsive Disorder$$023123 000002993 650__ $$aEvidence-Based Medicine$$031532 000002993 691__ $$aSchool of Nursing$$041370 000002993 7001_ $$aAnderson, Paige$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000002993 8564_ $$9bd74156d-c667-4767-960b-04246c0e974a$$s190910$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/2993/files/3796_etd.pdf 000002993 905__ $$a/rest/prod/w6/63/43/80/w6634380k 000002993 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:2993$$pstudent-work 000002993 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations
