Abstract

Aims: Hypochondrias is a kind of psychiatric disorder that refers to a person who, despite having physical health, always complains of pain. The present study investigated the PREVALENCE of Hypochondrias and its effective factors in population of 20-50 years old in Gonabad city.Methods: This study was performed on 400 persons randomly selected from population of 20-50 years old in Gonabad city. Persons with a known previous psychiatric or medical disorder or defectiveness were excluded from the study. All the samples filled the demographic questionnaire and Evans hypochondrias questionnaires including 36 items. Then, the data were analyzed using appropriate descriptive statistics and analytic tests such as independent t-test and ANOVA.Results: In the present study, the PREVALENCE of hypochondrias among the populations of 20-50 years old was 39.2% at the borderline level and 28.8% at the disorder level. 28% of the cases with hypochondriac disorder showed mild symptoms while 8% had moderate symptoms. This disorder was significantly more prevalent in the age groups under 30 than that in other group (P=0.01). HYPOCHONDRIASIS was significantly prevalent in people with divorce problems (P=0.05). However, there was no significant relationship between HYPOCHONDRIASIS and variables such as sex (P=0.77), education (P=0.11) and job (P=0.08).Conclusion: The present study demonstrated a higher PREVALENCE of hypochondrias in population of 50-20 years old in Gonabad city compared to those on global statistics. Of course, it should be mentioned that a questionnaire was used for data collection. Therefore, it is recommended that, in future studies, its PREVALENCE be investigated through diagnostic adaptation with mental examination.
