Summary

The overall aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of a lifestyle intervention to improve lifestyle habits and reduce cardiometabolic risk factors in individuals with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).

Conditions

  • Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
  • Lifestyle (Sedentary Behavior and Physical Activity)

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

A group-based lifestyle intervention for individuals with OCD

Participants will take part in 13 week program, with one individual session to set up goals for a change of lifestyle habits, based on the baseline evaluation of their clinical characteristics, lifestyle habits, and cardiometabolic risk, and 12 group sessions, consisting of both education on lifestyle habits and physical exercise. Each educational session will focus on a specific topic/lifestyle habit, alternating more informative sessions with sessions discussing how the information can be applied, taking into account specific hinders due to Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. Between-sessions homework will include, for example, daily registration of physical activity and implementing changes in the lifestyle habits discussed during each session. All homework assignments will be registered in a digital platform. After the 13 weeks of lifestyle intervention, participants will get access to a booster module in the digital platform to help them maintain their behavioral changes.

BEHAVIORAL

Medical and lifestyle advice

One individual session with a clinical psychologist on week 1 of about 1 hour of duration. During this session, participants will receive feedback based on the baseline evaluation of their clinical characteristics, lifestyle habits, and cardiometabolic risk. Participants also receive written educational information on healthy lifestyle habits based on national Swedish guidelines issued by the National Board of Health and Welfare. The recommendations include engaging in regular physical activity, dietary guidelines based on Nordic Nutrition Recommendations, and advice to reduce alcohol consumption and quit tobacco use.
