description This study aimed to evaluate the mediating role of psychological distress (stress, anxiety and depression) in the relationship between experiential avoidance and obsessive-compulsive symptoms in students. The research method was descriptive-correlational (structural equations, path analysis) and the statistical population of the study was all students of Semnan University in the academic year 2019-2020. Using the available sampling method, 311 students participated in the study through the online calling. The instruments were the Obsessive–compulsive Disorder-revision (OCD-R), Depression, Anxiety, Stress Scales (DASS-21) and the Acceptance and Action Questionnaire (AAQ-II). The results showed that psychological distress has a mediating role in obsessive-compulsive syndrome and planning to promote psychological resilience can play an important role in reducing obsessive-compulsive symptoms due to psychological distress.
